View an RTSP stream in python with OpenCV

rtsp_stream.py

import cv2
import imutils
from imutils.video import VideoStream

# replace this with the url generated by the Wyze app
rtsp_url = "rtsp://<camera_name>:<some_uuid>@<some_ip>/live"

vs = VideoStream(rtsp_url).start()

while True:
    frame = vs.read()

    if frame is None:
        continue

    frame = imutils.resize(frame, width=1200)

    cv2.imshow('WyzeCam', frame)
    
    key = cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF

    if key == ord('q'):
        break

cv2.destroyAllWindows()
vs.stop()

Hi, I am reading a rstp stream using your code and it works fine but I keep getting the following warning.

[rtsp @ 00000207f9a02d40] Missing packets; dropping frame.
[rtsp @ 00000207f9a02d40] Missing packets; dropping frame.
[rtsp @ 00000207f9a02d40] Missing packets; dropping frame.

Any ideas why?

thank you soo much

@pteran2403 Did you find any solution for that problem? I encountered the same problem as yours and I couldn't find any solution anywhere online.
