opencv has (limited) ipcam support via ffmpeg.

but you have to use the VideoCapture for this (even if it's just 1 file), imread won't do.

the Unrecognized or unsupported array type just says, the img from imread was empty.

adding a check for that case, is always a good idea!

opencv has (limited) ipcam support via ffmpeg.ffmpeg. it probably won't work on windows with opencv < 2.4.3.

but and you have to use the VideoCapture for this (even if it's just 1 file), imread won't do.

the Unrecognized "Unrecognized or unsupported array typetype" just error only says, the img from imread was empty.

adding a check for that case, is always a good idea!
