Custom video stream
Starting with Tower v3.2.1, you can pipe a custom video stream to the Tower video widget.
This feature has been successfully tested with gstreamer running on an Ubuntu machine, and providing a h264 encoded video stream.
The gstreamer pipeline used is:
gst-launch videotestsrc ! 'video/x-raw, width=1280, height=720, framerate=(fraction)24/1' ! x264enc ! rtph264pay ! udpsink port=<device_port> host=<device_ip>
Where <device_ip> corresponds to your device's IP address, and <device_port> the UDP port from which to receive the video stream.
-

In the video widget preference screen, select Custom video stream, and enter the UDP Port the video is being streamed at.

Go back to the flight screen, and connect to your vehicle. If configured correctly, the video widget will start displaying the custom video stream!
