Working product
Implemented and supported by code plus host or device evidence.
Local recording library
Auto/manual recording, thumbnails, playback, fast-start finalization, download, and confirmed per-file deletion.
Production request queue
Requester, note, In/Out values, existing-request segments, pending/approved/done states, deletion, and outstanding shot-list export.
Post-flight hand-off in one button
The Streamer reads the aircraft card, matches each marked shot to the aircraft's own recording, and writes the shot list and one GyroFlow project per request into its own folder on that card. Run end to end on real hardware to finished stabilized clips. The match lands within about five seconds; a frame-exact confirmation step is not built, and only DJI air-unit cards have been tested.
Local and remote distribution
WebRTC, HLS, RTSP, RTMP/RTMPS, SRT, MPEG-TS, independent publishers, reconnects, and an RTMP-compatible silent AAC track.
Broadcast framing and branding
Separate hardware-encoded output, 1080p/720p, Fit/Fill/Crop, bitrate control, logo, lower-third, timecode, and live proof.
Visitor and monitor standby
One owner image or video for the browser and HDMI monitor, browser message placement, Cover/Contain, and time since the last picture. HDMI video looping was physically verified.
Field administration
First owner account, Argon2id credentials, owner Wi-Fi settings, country selection, an offline licence that binds on first activation, and no default admin.
Viewer permissions
Off, Open, and Invited access for watching and for flight data, local invitation codes, code revocation, guest-device removal, and restart recovery choices. Observed working on a laptop on the house network and on a phone joined to the Streamer's own Wi-Fi. Guest footage review and guest clip requests are separate planned work and cannot be handed out today.
HDMI crew screen
The Streamer recognises the connected monitor, reports its native resolution, and restores the Fit, Fill, or Crop chosen for that exact screen, with a standby photo or looping video between feeds. Driven on a real monitor with the live picture.
Buying, licensing and delivery
Checkout, payment, and the licence email run end to end: a purchase delivers a key to the buyer's inbox, with a link that retrieves it again if the email is lost. The Streamer image is downloadable, the key binds to one Streamer on first activation, activation works with no internet, and a lost or shared key can be revoked. Behind it: batch minting, idempotent claims, durable records, and an append-only audit history.
Customer image and first boot
The shipping image builds, passes 141 clone-safety checks twice, and has been written to a card and booted on a Pi 4 that had never run it: the Wi-Fi network appears on its own, the storage expands to fill the card, the licence activates, and the settings survive a reboot. Updates are signed and installed on the device.
Cosmik Batch Exporter core
The free MIT-licensed desktop app reads folders and Streamer shot lists, trims per file, queues horizontal and vertical variants, and runs the local Gyroflow CLI. Version 0.9.2, with its full test suite, typecheck, build, and real DJI/Gyroflow export checks passing.
Validation
Built, check still owed
The software exists. Each item names the observation that keeps it out of the completed column.
Flight Log, including the 3D flight path
Every flight is written down once a second on its own, and four views read it: the route flown back in three dimensions, the shared timeline, the link in detail, and the aircraft's own attitude. The data is trusted enough that the Streamer uses it to match a marked shot to the aircraft's recording, which it has done on hardware. What remains is a measurement, not a feature — how smoothly the 3D view runs on a real phone over the Streamer's Wi-Fi, an owner review on hardware, and a check of the flat-map fallback with 3D switched off.
Join an existing Wi-Fi network
Scan, join, leave, reachability reporting, and channel-safety behaviour are implemented and test-covered. The join itself has never been run on a real Streamer, which is the gate.
Ten-minute rolling buffer
The writer, rolling index, memory-backed ring, console controls, off-by-default behavior, and honest status copy are built. Turning a buffered moment into a permanent saved clip is not built.
Branded streaming destinations
Each destination can choose Branded or Pilot feed and can start the shared broadcast branch automatically. The end-to-end branded picture has not yet been watched at a real destination from the current Pi build.
HDMI live picture
Player, still/video idle screen, display identity, and presets exist; video standby is monitor-verified. The final live-feed hardware branch must still be checked.
Storage guard thresholds
20%, 10%, 5%, safety-floor pause, refusal, delete, and resume logic are host-tested. The complete physical fill-disk exercise remains.
First-contact setup choice
The forced owner/Wi-Fi wizard is implemented. Written legal sign-off must decide whether setup networking ships with the documented setup password or open.
Batch Exporter for macOS
The Windows installer is built, hosted, and downloadable today. The macOS package has not been built. The app is free and needs no key on either platform.
Planned
Accepted next work
Recorded product direction or backlog. These controls are not available to customers today.
Shareable client review page
A guest-safe link where a client can browse footage and submit timecoded requests without the owner console.
Frame-exact match confirmation
The automatic match is built and lands within about five seconds. The remaining work is the step where the pilot nudges it onto the exact frame, and reading a card deeply enough to tell whether the aircraft already stabilized the footage itself.
HUD-compatible broadcast branch
Rework input decoding so DJI Camera View Recording at 1080p60 can coexist with the framed and branded broadcast output.
Telemetry in the production picture
Add selected, proven flight data to the separate branded branch without changing the clean pilot path.
Update recovery after a power cut
Signed updates are delivered and installed today. What remains is the part that only matters when things go wrong: recovering the boot if power is lost partway through an update.
Save a frame while watching
A one-press button that keeps the picture on screen as a full-quality photo, including while reviewing a recording, without any of the surrounding interface in the shot.
Research
Prove before promising
Desired directions with an unresolved technical or product choice.
Saved viewer access for a regular venue
A named, reusable QR code for a place you fly often, that you switch on when you arrive and off when you leave, without setting up access from scratch each visit. It creates a saved credential that outlives a single session, so how it is revoked and what a photographed code can do have to be settled before it is built.
Cards that are not a DJI air unit
Action-camera and other cards have not been tested. Their file naming, segment behaviour, and whether a request that crosses two files can be resolved are all unproven.
Portable router ecosystem
Auto-detect an Ethernet viewer router, preserve Pi-AP fallback, name the supported router model, and verify final radio behavior.
Fleet and multiview
Bridge multiple Cosmik units, assign pilot identity, pull named streams, and compose a production multiview. The current Fleet page is groundwork only.
Broader camera-system support
The owner intends to support more camera systems. No additional system has been selected or tested, so the roadmap does not name one yet.
Alternative inputs
Wi-Fi Share Liveview, RTSP/ONVIF/UVC sources, and secondary picture-in-picture remain possibilities that require an input-by-input architecture and hardware proof.
Betaflight access
A browser-hosted configurator cannot reach a flight controller attached to the Pi through ordinary WebSerial. A proven Pi-side bridge would be required.
Deliberate exclusions
What this roadmap does not imply.
No dates
Order and evidence gates are recorded. Delivery dates have not been guessed.
No named cameras
Future compatibility does not become a product claim until a system is chosen and tested.
No fleet claim
A page or database shape is not a working multi-unit product.
No frame-exact claim
The bundle now names the aircraft's own file and the range on it, matched automatically. That match lands within about five seconds; the step where the pilot confirms it to the exact frame is not built.
No completed sale yet
$29.99 USD is settled and checkout is open at store.cosmikstreamer.com/buy, paid through PayPal. No customer has completed a purchase through it, and international sales clearance is not finished.
