We tested the two setups described above with a PC running QGC in Linux, and a Tablet running QGC in Android.
You can view your video stream directly in
QGC by navigating to the Application Settings menu and scrolling down to the
video section. Following our GStreamer Example, you would tell QGC to listen at
port 5000 as shown below. You should then be able to see the video stream directly
in the main window. For more details, refer to the detailed guide ….
In QGroundControl, add a new Comm Link as
shown in Figure 6. Change the host address to the IP address of the Smart Radio
connected to the drone, and the network port to the listening port used by ser2net. Click OK,
and then Connect.

You can verify the MAVLink connection is good by going to the tab shown in Figure 7, and inspecting the MAVLink heartbeat.

As far as QGC is concerned, the setup for
Android is the same as for Linux. The pictures below show results after a
successful connection.
