"deface cam" on Mac with 1920x1080 webcam would freeze on first frame

On Mac with 1920x1080 webcam, "deface cam" will freeze on first frame. When using an older Mac with 1280x720 webcam no issue there.

There is a fix for frame grabbing using imageio.imiter, but I am not sure how to fix for the case of imageio.imread:

For example, this line will fail on 1920x1080 webcam:

for idx, frame in enumerate(iio.imiter("<%video0%>")):

This will pass on 1920x1080 webcam:

for idx, frame in enumerate(iio.imiter("<%video0%>", size=(1280, 720))):

Please help.

Found a workaround:

Instead of this:

for frame in read_iter:

Use this:

for frame in imageio.imiter(ipath, size=(1280, 720)):
