Video Streaming Service User Guide
Video streaming service is used to stream the video from a vehicle or other source directly into UgCS.
For the video streaming service to work correctly the user needs to configure it in the UgCS Client and also in the
configuration file. To do so, please carefully read the instructions below. After changing the configuration you must
restart the Video Service via the Service Manager.
1.1
Configuration in client
You can configure the video service in client “Menu”
>
“Configuration”
>
“Video”. By default it points to a local
instance. In the case of a multi node deployment network address and port of the Video service can be specified.
1.2
Configuration in the video-service properties file
You can configure the video-service settings in a video configuration file called vstreamer.conf. It can be found in
the following paths:
•
On Microsoft Windows:
C:\Program Files\UgCS\bin\vstreamer.conf
•
On Mac OS:
~/Library/Application Support/UGCS/configuration/vstreamer.conf or
/Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/UGCS/configuration/vstreamer.conf
•
On GNU/Linux:
/etc/opt/ugcs/vstreamer.conf
The configuration file vstreamer.conf has the following sections which will be described below:
Main settings

Main settings
Parameter name
Default value
Description
vstreamer.server_port
8081
Http port for the main video
service server. This server starts
streaming servers for each device.
Streaming servers run on ports
right next to the main server (e.g. if
the main server runs on port 8081,
streaming servers will run on ports
8082, 8083, etc.).
Change this value if port conflicts
appear.
This port must be as specified in
the settings of the video in the
client
1.2.2
Network streams settings
You can also set a number of input network streams which will be re-streamed to the client. By default the streams
for ArDrone and GoPro are configured. Feel free to add, change or remove streams.
