Hi Gareth,
OK So with the PLUTO there is a USB <> microUSB adapter, you push it into your standard USB type A plug and it converts that to microUSB which you put into the USB port on the PLUTO. You might be better off hard coding the IP address in the 'sdcard' - look in config.txt for the following lines;
[USB_ETHERNET]
ipaddr_eth =
netmask_eth = 255.255.255.0
and set the ip_addr_eth to something free in your local subnet. I'm using a lenovo RTL8153 on mine and it worked straight away with no fiddling around needed. I did find some old USB<>eth adapter that didn't work with the pluto, I checked this by plugging it in and out, the reconnecting the PC to the PLUTO USB port and doing a 'dmesg' via SSH to see if the kernel recognised the USB adapter and got;
usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ci_hdrc
usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=17ef, idProduct=7205
usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=6
usb 1-1: Product: Thinkpad USB LAN
usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Lenovo
usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 000001000000
usb 1-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using ci_hdrc
r8152 1-1:1.0 eth0: v1.09.9 <-- this is the line that says the USB i/f is tied to eth0
Start with setting a static, check to see if you can get to
http://yoursetstaticip where you should see the PLUTO info page etc. If you wanted to get to the PLUTO when its connected to your PC and assuming your internal LAN isnt on 192.168.2.x, you should be able to do the 'share internet connection' on the PLUTO interface, then on your phone add a route to 192.168.2.x via the IP of your PC, Larix will then be able to stream to it. You wont be able to see it from your local LAN unless you do some sort of bridging / routing, that share internet connection isn't brilliant but it will work.
I'd recommend to start with that you install OBS on the PC to make sure that you have comms to the PLUTO and can indeed stream some video to it.
If you need further tips happy to chat it through on the QO100 n/b transponder.
