GoPro Live Preview with OpenCV in C ++

goprolive.cpp

#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>

int main()                                                      
{
    cv::VideoCapture cap( "http://10.5.5.9:8080/live/amba.m3u8" );
    cv::namedWindow( "GoPro" );
    cv::Mat frame;

    do {
        cap >> frame;
        cv::imshow( "GoPro", frame );
    } while ( cv::waitKey( 30 ) < 0 );

  return 0;
}

Hello, I want to access the goPro Hero 4 but I get this error:

GStreamer Plugin: Embedded video playback halted; module source reported: Not Found
OpenCV Error: Unspecified error (GStreamer: unable to start pipeline
) in icvStartPipeline, file /home/daniel/Downloads/opencv/modules/videoio/src/cap_gstreamer.cpp, line 380
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cv::Exception'
what(): /home/daniel/Downloads/opencv/modules/videoio/src/cap_gstreamer.cpp:380: error: (-2) GStreamer: unable to start pipeline
in function icvStartPipeline

You you have an idea about how to solve it?

Thanks

@snowbeto,

I'm trying to do the same thing as well. Have you had any luck in resolving this issue? Any leads will be helpful.

Thanks,
