I've been trying to read a video (format of videos is mp4) and do some operations in every 30th frame. Firstly, It works OK. But after some frames, I see this error:

File "C:\Users\mustafa\Desktop\vidoe_deneme\opencv_object_tracker.py", line 22, in <module>
    frame = frame[:, :, ::-1]
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

I see this error on every video I've tried (Not only on a one video). What is the problem?

import cv2
from imutils.video import VideoStream
from imutils.video import FPS

cap = cv2.VideoCapture('k.mp4')
totalFrames = 0
# start the frames per second throughput estimator
fps = FPS().start()

print('before video')
# loop over frames from the video stream
while cap.isOpened():
    ret,frame = cap.read()

    frame = frame[:, :, ::-1]
    h, w = frame.shape[:2]
    rgb = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
    if totalFrames % 30 == 0:

        cv2.imshow("Frame", rgb)
    key = cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF
    # if the `q` key was pressed, break from the loop
    if key == ord("q"):
        break
    totalFrames += 1
    fps.update()
# stop the timer and display FPS information
fps.stop()
print("[INFO] elapsed time: {:.2f}".format(fps.elapsed()))
print("[INFO] approx. FPS: {:.2f}".format(fps.fps()))
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

When k.mp4 is finished, did you get same error?

Reading a frame can obviously fail sometimes, but your code does not check for it - and it should

@mvuori NO! Can you see screenshot? At the end of video, you will see debug.

@supra56 It doesn't finish. Error throws out before the end frame

Can you do resizer?

small_frame = imutils.resize(frame, width=640)
frame = small_frame[:, :, ::-1]

I've tried. I see same error on the last frame of the video.

using opencv's VideoCapture class with video files, you will receive empty / invalid frames if it reaches the end of th e movie. (that's expected !)

you HAVE TO check the ret value when reading frames, and either bail out of the loop, or reset the frame position, to start again

The error is self-explanatory. You are trying to subscript an object which you think is a list or dict, but actually is None. This means that you tried to do:

None[something]

This error means that you attempted to index an object that doesn't have that functionality. You might have noticed that the method sort() that only modify the list have no return value printed – they return the default None. 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable is the one thrown by python when you use the square bracket notation object[key] where an object doesn't define the __getitem__ method . This is a design principle for all mutable data structures in Python.
