Recently purchased a chromebook. I'm trying to use openCV in IDLE to access my camera however I am unable to get any video.
Cheese on linux cannot access my camera either.
The built in camera app on the chromebook works fine.
I used this code along with others of similar nature and none could access my camera
import cv2
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
if not cap.isOpened():
print("Error: Could not open video.")
exit()
while True:
# Capture frame-by-frame
ret, frame = cap.read()
if not ret:
print("Error: Could not read frame.")
break
# Display the resulting frame
cv2.imshow('Camera Feed', frame)
# Press 'q' to exit the loop
if cv2.waitKey(1) == ord('q'):
break
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
