What new hop? You said you had the setup:

no, I have no cable setup, I just said, I know, how to setup when using a cable. Maybe I did not use the correct English idiom...
Yes, I obviously misunderstood your statement "it is working
with ethernet cable and crossover-cable."
Assuming that hostA can configure its wifi as an access point,
then you replace the cable with:
hostAP≡∈ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ∋≡hostB
That is, what I wanted to do.
Then use NGINX with RTMP-module listening on its standard port and streaming with RTMP from Computer A to Computer B to the standard port.
Everything without any AP or router between.
The stream can then be made visible with VLC or OBS on Computer B.
That is the plan, and as litle as possible between the two computers.
If you can do it via ad-hoc networking, that's fine by me.
The benefit of the method above is that you only have to
reconfigure one host, A, and leave B untouched: B knows how
to connect to an AP, so you can focus all your attention
on getting hostA to work, and test it with any normal wifi
device that happens to be on hand.
I do not know, if that is possible with wlan at all. However, it looks like I am always have to use an AP on one of the computers (as other users told).
I didn't say you couldn't do it with ad-hoc networking—I just said
that I couldn't see any benefit because, as I see it, you effectively
have a base station in hostA. (I'm obviously guessing that hostB might
be the drone.) So you configure hostB to find and connect to a fixed
AP, just as most hosts do in a home network: in this case, it's hostA
rather than a router. And hostA just waits for hostB to connect to it.
I intend to build a full preconfigurated livefile system based on debian, so that people with Windows-computers can boot it in the fields and can use it.
But - this will be a long way.
Cheers,
David.
