Hi,

It is my first question in this forum, after looking for a long time any solution. I'm using python 2.7 with OPENCV '2.4.13' (I already tried with 3.1) and I can't open streams. I already solved the ffmpeg problem (dll) and tried to run the local camera and after a local video with success.

could anyone help me? follow below code: PS: Windows 10, x86 rtsp link working (tried in the vlc player) ffmpeg working (tried to run a video in the code locally)

  import cv2, platform
#import numpy as np

cam = "http://192.168.11.146:81/videostream.cgi?rate=0&user=admin&pwd=888888"
#cam = 0 # Use  local webcam.

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(cam)
if not cap.isOpened():
    print("not opened")

while(True):
    # Capture frame-by-frame
    ret, current_frame = cap.read()
    if type(current_frame) == type(None):
        print("!!! Couldn't read frame!")
        break

    # Display the resulting frame
    cv2.imshow('frame',current_frame)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

# release the capture
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

When I try to run I get back

      C:\Python27\python.exe C:/Users/brleme/PycharmProjects/opencv/main.py
not opened
!!! Couldn't read frame!
warning: Error opening file (../../modules/highgui/src/cap_ffmpeg_impl.hpp:545)

Process finished with exit code 0

sorry :-s...

well, after a long time (probably 3 minutes) it returns the error bellow (nothing was loaded)

OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (size.width>0 && size.height>0) in cv::imshow, file ..\..\..\..\opencv\modules\highgui\src\window.cpp, line 261
Traceback (most recent call last):

well, I was checking the ffmpeg and trying to run in dos the:

ffplay http://192.168.11.146:81/videostream....

at least in the dos it recognize the & as an internal command. (would it be the source of the problem?)

[http @ 01ccbb60] HTTP error 401 Unauthorized 0KB sq=    0B f=0/0
http://192.168.11.146:81/videostream.cgi?rate=0: Server returned 401 Unauthorized (authorization failed)

'pwd' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

if you want to use that url from cmdline, you have to escape it with " , like:

ffplay "http://192.168.11.146:81/videostream.cgi?rate=0&user=admin&pwd=888888"
