Nice man!! exactly I was looking for on web. Saved my time 👍 )
I am doing this for rtsp stream.
And this way RTSP gets embedded in a web page.
Thanks

Hi,

Please can you tell me how you did it with an RTSP IP camera onto a web page? I've been researching for weeks to get this done!!

Great work, Igor!

Wolfgang, the program uses pipes (http://www.python-course.eu/pipes.php) to communicate the output to the server. When you disconnect from the port, it breaks the existing pipe, and when you reconnect, it breaks the previous pipe and starts a new one.

If you were running the script locally and the opencv output was displayed in a window, you could use the 'Keyboard Interrupt' to break the loop without any errors. That doesn't work in the browser because you've already used a pipe to get there.

tl;dr : that error is nothing to worry about, you'll pretty much see it every time you disconnect or reconnect.

Hi saif-data, Do you have any idea how to remove those broken pipe error messages? Try/Exception not work..
