OpenCV load video from url

by

It seems that cv2.videocode is not a valid OpenCV API either in OpenCV 2.x or OpenCV 3.x.

Below is a sample code it works in OpenCV 3 which uses cv2.VideoCapture class.

import numpy as np
import cv2

# Open a sample video available in sample-videos
vcap = cv2.VideoCapture('https://www.sample-videos.com/video/mp4/720/big_buck_bunny_720p_2mb.mp4')
#if not vcap.isOpened():
#    print "File Cannot be Opened"

while(True):
    # Capture frame-by-frame
    ret, frame = vcap.read()
    #print cap.isOpened(), ret
    if frame is not None:
        # Display the resulting frame
        cv2.imshow('frame',frame)
        # Press q to close the video windows before it ends if you want
        if cv2.waitKey(22) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
            break
    else:
        print "Frame is None"
        break

# When everything done, release the capture
vcap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
print "Video stop"

Hope this help.
