OpenCV VideoCapture running on PyGame - repo ref https://github.com/radames/opencv_video_to_pygame

opencv_video_to_pygame.py

from pygame.locals import KEYDOWN, K_ESCAPE, K_q
import pygame
import cv2
import sys

camera = cv2.VideoCapture(1)
pygame.init()
pygame.display.set_caption("OpenCV camera stream on Pygame")
screen = pygame.display.set_mode([1280, 720])

try:
    while True:

        ret, frame = camera.read()

        screen.fill([0, 0, 0])
        frame = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
        frame = frame.swapaxes(0, 1)
        pygame.surfarray.blit_array(screen, frame)
        pygame.display.update()

        for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                sys.exit(0)
            elif event.type == KEYDOWN:
                if event.key == K_ESCAPE or event.key == K_q:
                    sys.exit(0)

except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
    pygame.quit()
    cv2.destroyAllWindows()

I am getting this error:
"ValueError: array must match surface dimensions"
What should I do?

Change screen size to your camera output size screen = pygame.display.set_mode([640, 480]) worked for me.
You can get size of frame easily E.g: print(frame.shape)

I can't thank you enough for this code. Keep it up.

Guys if anyone had this error

cv2.error: OpenCV(4.5.1) C:\Users\appveyor\AppData\Local\Temp\1\pip-req-build-kh7iq4w7\opencv\modules\imgproc\src\color.cpp:182: error: (-215:Assertion failed) !_src.empty() in function 'cv::cvtColor'

add frame = cv2.VideoCapture(0) below ret, frame = camera.read()

hi @angelman7 can't help much but it could be related to your camera image streaming,

Can you show it the other way too?
