Error With YouTube Live

[jbwps]

I'm running the example code to use a live YouTube stream as a video source, but am receiving an error:

"YouTube Mode is enabled and the input YouTube Url is invalid!"

I'm using the sample code verbatim, and only changed the YouTube URL to a live stream (https://youtu.be/Nk4HAS-HOr4) instead of the Rick Roll video.

I'm pretty sure all of my packages are up to date, including youtube-dl

@jbwps Thanks for pointing this out, A bug is discovered as follows:

Bug Summary:

https://youtu.be/Nk4HAS-HOr4 is a live stream video which do not support video only streams therefore resulted in NoneType video object from pafy and finally "YouTube Mode is enabled and the input YouTube Url is invalid!" returned in vidgear.

I'm working on a fix, Kindly wait!!

@jbwps Fixed! Kindly test testing branch by strictly following steps:

---

⚠️ This requires latest opencv-python or opencv-contrib-python binaries ( i.e. 4.1.1.26+)
installed on your machine. Install it from pypi as follows:

sudo pip3 install -U opencv-python  

For more info., see issue #14 ⚠️

---

 

1. Firstly, Kindly clone and install the testing branch as follows:

git clone https://github.com/abhiTronix/vidgear.git
cd vidgear
git checkout testing
sudo pip install .
cd

2. Then rerun the same algorithm with your URL (https://youtu.be/Nk4HAS-HOr4) as follows:

# import libraries
from vidgear.gears import CamGear
import cv2

stream = CamGear(source='https://youtu.be/Nk4HAS-HOr4', 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.

I'm using CamGear and the following live youtube url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWcV3g23c8Y&ab_channel=CNN-News18

After about 40 seconds, the livestream terminates and I get the following errors:
[tls @ 000001835c367600] Unable to read from socket
[tls @ 000001835c398580] Failed to send close message
[tls @ 000001835c394e40] Unable to read from socket
[tls @ 000001835c394ac0] Failed to send close message

@imranilyas Bug in FFmpeg, see Issue #133. Being worked on in issue #160

[imranilyas]

This is what comes up when I run print(cv2.getBuildInformation()) Since GStreamer isn't available, what can I use as a substitute for the backend parameter in the CamGear function? Video I/O: DC1394: NO FFMPEG: YES (prebuilt binaries) avcodec: YES (58.54.100) avformat: YES (58.29.100) avutil: YES (56.31.100) swscale: YES (5.5.100) avresample: YES (4.0.0) GStreamer: NO DirectShow: YES Media Foundation: YES DXVA: NO

@imranilyas Nothing else works for now, you have to wait for #160 to be resolved.
