OpenCV 4.2.0 with python3 and CUDA : Segfault on cv2.VideoCapture()

I encounter a problem with OpenCV that I have for several days now : it segfaults when calling the cv2.VideoCapture() function.

When launching my script (with GDB) :

extract-all_1   | Thread 1 "python3" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
extract-all_1   | 0x00007f83857fe33b in bool pyopencv_to<std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > >(_object*, std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >&, ArgInfo const&) [clone .isra.1286] ()
extract-all_1   |    from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cv2/python-3.6/cv2.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
extract-all_1   | (gdb) quit

When running my script without GDB, the container exits with code 139

I identified the problem occures when calling the "cv2.VideoCapture()" function :

def perform_video_extraction(video_path):
    input_movie = cv2.VideoCapture(video_path)
    nb_total_frames = int(input_movie.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT))
    [...]

Hints :

Here is my Dockerfile (CUDA 10.2 with OpenCV 4.2.0 built from source) : https://pastebin.com/raw/a42wtcRG

Here is what the cmake summary build returns : https://pastebin.com/raw/SFPUakyL

My config :

Have you any recommendation for debugging this problem ?

Thank you

I managed to debug the problem. Due to a stupid encoding issue.

Adding :

ENV LANG C.UTF-8

to my Dockerfile managed to make the container run (my original pastebin mentioned this line but after doublecheck, I didn't have it).

I was able to find out this idea because of this more accurate backtrace from GDB :

/opencv-4.2.0 being my install path

It seems like my filenames were not in a right encoding format.

Finally, I specify that pip installing the python binding directly works perfectly fine now this modification has been brought.
