Finally got time this weekend to get my Flight Deck powered up and connected to QGroundControl, etc. I am having an issue getting video streaming working - I started voxl-rtsp successfully (as per screenshot below:

but I wasn't sure if stream url is rtsp://192.168.8.1:8900/live or rtsp://0.0.0.0:8900/live so tried both in VLC and no luck.

Any ideas?

Hello Mark,

A few things to check..

- make sure the voxl-camera-server is not running, since it cannot be used concurrently with voxl-rtsp (you can check what services are enabled using `voxl-inspect-services`
- when connecting via VLC, you should not use 0.0.0.0 address. 0.0.0.0 is an invalid address
- it is strange that voxl-rtsp reports that it's listening on 0.0.0.0. It looks like you have VOXL in AP mode (based on the IP address). Run `ifconfig` and see if it shows anything strange. The fact that you are able to ssh into VOXL using `192.168.8.1` means wifi AP is working fine..
- just in case, try using it's actual ip address in the `rtsp://` field - it looks like you already tried it in VLC?
- if you are able, please try compiling and using the latest version of `voxl-rtsp` here : https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/utilities/voxl-rtsp/-/tree/dev - it will also print some stats after you exit, just making sure the camera frames are actually coming in. There is a script `build_in_docker.sh` that makes it easier to compile voxl-rtsp, as long as you already have the `voxl-emulator` docker image
