I thought Id add this in here as it relates to a video streaming issue.
(There was an update to 3DR services app today that I have yet to fly with so hopefully it may help.)
The Android App !!!
It has problems. And this is not new, theres lots of references to this sort of issue arising on tabs using this app.
First you may get picture freezing up, then maybe scrolling of the picture (as in vertical hold issue) then it may go black, then the feed may come back....or not. At this point people land and start resetting gopros and tabs and things.
I have been chasing a video feed issue for about a week now, checked the hdmi cable, changed gopros, even changed my wifi cards back to stock incase I stuffed something up during their installation..
Out flying today , had a really good day, 1000m (3300ft)+ range on the stock wifi cards (and antennas) is nothing to complain about, didnt even hit RTH, just decided to come back.
On the 3rd flight battery (and this is the third time it has happened on the third battery) the video feed started cracking up, I was ready this time and took some screen shots.
Then something happened that I hope exposes where the feed issue actually is. The app locked up and crashed, disconnecting from Solo wifi with the bird in the air, telemetry and control were solid the whole time.
I am hoping that this will show that the app is responsible for at least some of peoples problems in relation to video feed issues.
But why only after about 40 minutes flight time? I dont turn the tab or app off between flights, so perhaps it is logging and overloads a log file or something,. I dont know, but its starting to get predictable.
In future I will reset the app before each flight and see if that makes a difference.
These screen shots were taken over a 30 second period while the picture was coming and going and scrolling.
Anyone else see this sort of problem at all?
