Matplotlib to replace imshow()

I have installed OpenCV 3.x with Python 3 and I am running these on Ubuntu 16.04, however since the video related functionality is not implemented and thus giving the error of "This function is not implemented", I am looking for an alternative to imshow(). I know that I can display a picture with Matplotlib, can we do the same with videos? If so, how?

Matplotlib to replace imshow()

I have installed OpenCV 3.x with Python 3 and I am running these on Ubuntu 16.04, however since the video related functionality is not implemented and thus giving the error of "This function is not implemented", I am looking for an alternative to imshow(). I know that I can display a picture with Matplotlib, can we do the same with videos? If so, how?

EDIT: So this is the command I used to build my OpenCV from source:

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D WITH_TBB=ON -D BUILD_NEW_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON -D WITH_V4L=ON -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=OFF -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -D WITH_QT=OFF -D WITH_GTK=ON -D WITH_OPENGL=ON -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv_contrib/modules  ..

Note that I have WITH_GTK=ON .

And this is the long output I have:
