Starting with Tower v3.2.1, you can pipe a custom video stream to the Tower video widget.

Notes:

This feature has been successfully tested with gstreamer running on an Ubuntu machine, and providing a h264 encoded video stream. The gstreamer pipeline used is:

gst-launch videotestsrc ! 'video/x-raw, width=1280, height=720, framerate=(fraction)24/1' ! x264enc ! rtph264pay ! udpsink port=<device_port> host=<device_ip>

Where <device_ip> corresponds to your device's IP address, and <device_port> the UDP port from which to receive the video stream.
