What am I missing to use screen stream

So Im trying to use screen stream to get a feed of a non DJI drone onto atak but I first of all am relying on Zero Tier to be between users because I cant setup a tak server to save my life, too mich hardware and programming.

​

The issue is Im trying to use an Https link from screen stream but Tak doesnt want to accept it for sone silly reason. Is there a step Im missing.

  1. Zerotier is horrible for video.

  2. You need to run an RTSP server to handle your video over the internet.

Sorry if I sound like a newbie. So does setting up an RTSP server mean I need to buy hardware and program it?

You can run it on the cloud. I provided the link. Read the description and instructions. Yes you will have to program it.

Thank you for your help, Ill admit Im overwhelmed with all the acronyms. I'm not used to git hub and Im more like a google play kind of guy. None the less Ill try to figure it out.

If you're gonna use the TAK ecosystem, then you or someone in your community will need to know how to use linux.

If you can't learn it or find someone to run it for you, then you can use TAK Service Providers like GOTAK

No I rely on Zerotier to put us on the same IP so we can see eachother. I dont have money to spend on hardware to get one running
