Use the following GStreamer pipeline to start the real time video in Mission Planner:

```

{% hint style="warning" %}
In case your system doesn't support local DNS (smartlink.local addressing) you will need to change smatlink.local to the static IP address of SmartLink: 192.168.168.100
{% endhint %}

Click OK to start the video feed:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sky-drones.com/avionics/smartlink/other-gcs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
