How to use a URL as input in OpenCV
My project consists on making some operations on a streaming video in real time thanks to OpenCV using the video URL. I chose to change the color of the video(or its resolution, 2 easy codes) it worked perfectly when I generated a streaming video from my laptop camera. but when I put the URL as an input it didn't. here what the 2 URLs I am using look like
http://192.168.137.191:5000/feed1
http://192.168.137.191:5000/stream.html
and here is my code
import cv2
import numpy as np
cap = cv2.VideoCapture('http://192.168.137.191:5000/feed1')
while True:
ret, frame=cap.read()
gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
cv2.imshow('gray',gray)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows
