是否可以使用OpenCV将视频从https://(例如YouTube)流式传输到python中?

This link有一个简洁的小例子,说明如何使用python的OpenCV库cv2将数据从摄像头传输到你的python shell中。我希望进行一些实验,并希望使用以下YouTube视频Feed:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCUqsPLvYBQ

我尝试按如下方式调整示例:

import numpy as np
import cv2

cap = cv2.VideoCapture('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCUqsPLvYBQ')

while(True):
    # Capture frame-by-frame
    ret, frame = cap.read()

    # Display the resulting frame
    cv2.imshow('frame',frame)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

产生错误:

WARNING: Couldn't read movie file https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCUqsPLvYBQ
OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (size.width>0 && size.height>0) in imshow, file /tmp/opencv20160107-29960-t5glvv/opencv-2.4.12/modules/highgui/src/window.cpp, line 261

是否有一个简单的修复程序允许我通过cv2将此视频Feed流式传输到我的python shell中?如果有其他库可以实现相同的目的,也不会绝对致力于cv2

您需要安装2件东西

  1. pafy(通过pip install pafy安装)
  2. youtube_dl(sudo pip安装--upgrade youtube_dl)

安装这两个软件包后,您可以使用youtube url播放视频。 请参考下面的代码

    url = 'https://youtu.be/W1yKqFZ34y4'
    vPafy = pafy.new(url)
    play = vPafy.getbest(preftype="webm")

    #start the video
    cap = cv2.VideoCapture(play.url)
    while (True):
        ret,frame = cap.read()
        """
        your code....
        """
        cv2.imshow('frame',frame)
        if cv2.waitKey(20) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
            break    

    cap.release()
    cv2.destroyAllWindows()

可以使用pafy(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pafy

import cv2, pafy

url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKX8uaoy9c8"
videoPafy = pafy.new(url)
best = videoPafy.getbest(preftype="webm")

video=cv2.VideoCapture(best.url)

@ incBrain将youtube视频下载到本地mp4的建议就是去的地方。以下是我在EC2上设置远程服务器环境的步骤,输出通过X11转发传输到我的本地计算机:

  • ssh -X -i "<ssh_key.pem>" ubuntu@<IP-address>.compute-1.amazonaws.com(注意-X选项是一个重要的补充。它是我们用来将输出从EC-2服务器传递到本地X11客户端的方式)
  • sudo pip install --upgrade youtube_dl(我知道,sudo pip很糟糕。我责怪网站说明)
  • 将YouTube视频下载到本地文件:youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUjF1fRw9sA -o motocross.mp4
  • python demo_cv.py

X11转发可能很棘手。如果您遇到任何挂断,this post也可能对您有所帮助。

您可以安装我的VidGear Python库,该库仅提供URL,即可将YouTube视频自动流水到OpenCV。这是一个完整的python示例:

# import libraries
from vidgear.gears import CamGear
import cv2

stream = CamGear(source='https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ', y_tube =True,  time_delay=1, logging=True).start() # YouTube Video URL as input

# infinite loop
while True:

    frame = stream.read()
    # read frames

    # check if frame is None
    if frame is None:
        #if True break the infinite loop
        break

    # do something with frame here

    cv2.imshow("Output Frame", frame)
    # Show output window

    key = cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF
    # check for 'q' key-press
    if key == ord("q"):
        #if 'q' key-pressed break out
        break

cv2.destroyAllWindows()
# close output window

stream.stop()
# safely close video stream.

#pip install pafy
#sudo pip install --upgrade youtube_dl
import cv2, pafy

url   = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvyTx01ZcQQ"
video = pafy.new(url)
best  = video.getbest(preftype="mp4")
capture = cv2.VideoCapture(best.url)
while True:
    check, frame = capture.read()
    print (check, frame)

    cv2.imshow('frame',frame)
    cv2.waitKey(10)

capture.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

试试这个,也适用于直播
