Hi, I am currently trying to apply computer vision processing to a video in raspberry pi B+. I use visual studio c++ and openCV in windows in order to run and test my code. After I make it work in windows, i transfer the cpp file along with the video in the pi and I build the executable from there. I am able to build the executable however when I run it nothing happens.

Is there something I need to install in the pi in order to play videos? please help

As far as I know, I think you would need to have OpenCV installed on the Raspberry Pi.

I don't think this is that you want to do but, If you are just looking to play videos, the pi has a default omxplayer that plays videos in full screen.

i have opencv installed in my raspberry pi. playing videos is actually just the first step, my true goal is to apply video processing to these videos

Can you try compiling the code using the gcc compiler and see if the binary created with that works?

Just to answer my own question. I finally made it to work. it seems ffmpeg support was not installed before making opencv. I just had to make sure sure that ffmpeg was checked in cmake.

I think this update was truly the key for playing videos sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libv4l-dev
