Can't initialize VIdeoCapture from file
111raigeki opened this issue · comments
Hello, I am trying to open a video using VideoCapture::from_file, but I can't get it to read the file properly. The project builds without any issues, but is_opened doesn't return true:
let mut cam = videoio::VideoCapture::from_file("data/test_vid.mp4", videoio::CAP_ANY)?;
let opened = videoio::VideoCapture::is_opened(&cam)?;//always false independent of file path or file format I've tried to do the same in python (3.10, opencv-python 4.9.0) and it works just fine. Capturing video from webcam also works fine.
Information:
- os: Mint 21.2
- way to install opencv: manual build (cmake)
- opencv version: 4.9.0-dev
- rustc version: 1.76.0 (07dca489a 2024-02-04)
- crate version: 0.88.8
It can be that OpenCV is built without mp4 support for example, but python is using the different OpenCV version that has this support. Please also post cargo build -vv after doing cargo clean, it contains a lot of helpful debug information that might aid in tracking the source of the issue down.
The codecs were indeed the issue - for some reason opencv did not recognize ffmpeg. Thank you for help.

I have the same problem, what codecs did you need to install?
