问题
i'm trying to take a video with webcam using opencv and python with a simple code
import numpy as np
import cv2
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
print('cap.isOpened')
if cap.isOpened():
print ('cap is opened')
while(True):
re,img=cap.read()
cv2.imshow("video output", img)
k = cv2.waitKey(10)&0xFF
if k==27:
break
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
it's working fine if i try to play an existing video such as .mp4 file. but when i try using a webcam i got an error
GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_get_state: assertion 'GST_IS_ELEMENT (element)' failed cap.isOpened
for more information i'm using odroid xu4 with ubuntu 16.04, webcam i use logitech c170 ( it work properly in webcamtest and using guvcview) thought it doesn't workon cheese and camorama.
need help about this please..

The following workaround has a reasonable chance of working:
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0, cv2.CAP_V4L)
The ability to select backends was added in OpenCV 3, see the VideoCapture()
docs.
The workaround switches the backend to V4L (from default GStreamer) for my OpenCV 3.4.4 build with GStreamer support on a 16.04 box. Here the output of the question's code with workaround after export OPENCV_VIDEOIO_DEBUG=TRUE
:
[ WARN:0] VIDEOIO(cvCreateCameraCapture_V4L(index)): trying ...
[ WARN:0] VIDEOIO(cvCreateCameraCapture_V4L(index)): result=0x20b1470 ...
cap.isOpened
cap is opened
If the workaround does not work for you, you can check whether your OpenCV build supports V4L
using print(cv2.getBuildInformation())
. Here the relevant section for my build:
Video I/O:
DC1394: YES (ver 2.2.4)
FFMPEG: YES
avcodec: YES (ver 56.60.100)
avformat: YES (ver 56.40.101)
avutil: YES (ver 54.31.100)
swscale: YES (ver 3.1.101)
avresample: NO
GStreamer:
base: YES (ver 1.8.3)
video: YES (ver 1.8.3)
app: YES (ver 1.8.3)
riff: YES (ver 1.8.3)
pbutils: YES (ver 1.8.3)
libv4l/libv4l2: NO
v4l/v4l2: linux/videodev2.h
