RTMP Streaming video questions

Neal McConnell

The beta feature of RTMP streaming only has the destination address and key.
Are there plans to include bitrate and resolution settings, like DJI Fly does? It seems like it's using 720p, based on visual quality.

This streaming feature is only for DJI drones. Does this mean that it leverages something in the SDK or something with DJI Fly? If so, one would expect output parity with respect to DJI Fly app's stream performance, quality, etc.

Was any testing done to determine how much live streaming negatively affects virtual stick functionality on a known device, like the RC Pro?

    The feature was added as a proof of concept for an enterprise client and very little testing was done to be honest. They are no longer funding further development on the feature so we are focused on other things. It uses the SDKs described here: https://developer.dji.com/api-reference-v5/android-api/Components/IMediaDataCenter/ILiveStreamManager.html

    We don't set the bitrate or quality or anything other than the URL, so it's whatever happens by default.

    Thanks for linking what it uses. DJI really doesn't provide much there. It is pretty much RTMP or RTSP.

    It would then be better to move encoding further down the chain for cases where Dronelink would be used, like a safety patrol for a large-scale community event, or running a search pattern.
