Hi
ReplyDeleteI can read the rtsp stream using opencv 3.1 (compiled with ffmpeg) in python. But after some time I start getting corrupted frames and after further time I get error while reading the frames. Have you encountered it? If it works fine for you maybe I should use the versions you are using.
