Hey!!!

My name is Hanjo.
Aviateur looks amazing! For my studies I am trying to make a application that also displays an OpenIPC video stream. (I am using a Eachine Sphere link, has a RTL8812AU receiver over USB)

I tried to take inspiration from your project but I feel a bit overwhelmed with how much there is to dig through (first time for me making such a big project).
So far I managed to get the raw data stream over USB from an RTL8812AU. I think I now need to implement the wfb-ng part but I feel like there is not a whole lot of documentation (or probably I just didn't find it yet).

How did you start to understand how to implement this?

@Hanjocl Hi Hanjo. I'm glad this project could be inspiring to you. You could start by picking up the code base directly, which is quite simple if you ignore the GUI part. Getting raw WiFi packets from an adapter, handling them by wfb-ng then sending the resulted RTP packets to FFmpeg/GStreamer for decoding, rendering the decoded frames on the screen. That's it, that's pretty much the whole process. You could also take inspiration from the Android ground station PixelPilot.

Thanks for the quick reaction!
Honestly, haven't thought about integrating the code base directly. I'll give it try!

I also saw that you worked on fpv4Win and it uses QML! I madef my app already in QML so I am tempted to use fpv4Win.
But I do want to make it available on linux for a steamdeck hehe. Is there any particular problem you ran into with fpv4Win that is wouldn't want to work on Linux?

[floppyhammer]

No, there's no problem making fpv4win run on Linux. This project makes use of my homemade GUI framework, which is why I don't use Qt.

Oh but that is great!! Thank you so much for making all theses applications!
