If you are using a single USB or IP camera, there were several small changes that should fix them in rc8. However if you have an older settings file you will need to set IsCamera1Enabled=1 in order to ensure that the ground side is aware that it should be listening for those video streams. You may also need to update the USBCamera line in the settings file, for example on Buster the omxh264enc element does not work and must be replaced with v4l2h264enc. USB cameras still use gstreamer at the moment, and gstreamer can be very tricky to get set up for a particular camera.
