Hello,

is OpenCV working under Win7 with Cygwin64 and FFMPEG support, so that it is possible to open a network MJEPG steram:

VideoCapture cap; 
cap.open("http://<cameraIP>:<cameraPort>/video?x.mjpg");

Anybody succeeded? Can you indicate how to make it working?

Cheers, AaWnSD

Good to make a topic for this, however my streaming experience is limited. I do know that ffmpeg isn't always working properly with OpenCV. Have you tried building without ffmpeg support and use another library for the streaming? LibAV does all you want under linux, there should be a windows alternative also.
