I'm using a 3rd party python app which uses the opencv-python module to retrieve mp4 video and do object detection. However when I try to run this on my local fedora 28 desktop, I am unable to retrieve any video using a URL. The extracted code is basically like so;
import cv2
import numpy as np
import re
print(cv2.getBuildInformation())
url = "https://test-videos.co.uk/vids/bigbuckbunny/mp4/h264/720/Big_Buck_Bunny_720_10s_10MB.mp4"
vid = cv2.VideoCapture(url)
if not vid.isOpened():
print("not opened")
quit()
always returned "not opened".
However if I download the file, I can open it:
import re
import requests
resp = requests.get(url)
print("url is {}".format(url))
if resp.status_code == 200:
with open('Big_Buck_Bunny_720_10s_10MB.mp4', 'wb') as f:
f.write(resp.content)
vid = cv2.VideoCapture('Big_Buck_Bunny_720_10s_10MB.mp4')
if not vid.isOpened():
print("not opened")
else:
print(vid.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT))
returns:
url is https://test-videos.co.uk/vids/bigbuckbunny/mp4/h264/720/Big_Buck_Bunny_720_10s_10MB.mp4
frames in video are 300.0
The buildinformation returns this:

am I missing something that would allow retrieving Videos by URL?
