I think what you want to use is https://pkg.go.dev/gocv.io/x/gocv#OpenVideoCapture but your URL may or may not be correct. That part you will have to figure out yourself, since is also...

If OpenCV can do it, GoCV can do it, but that all depends on the installed libs on your system, the server, syntax, etc.

That does not mean that you have any particular libs used internally to OpenCV that may require separate installation, such as gstreamer or FFMPEG. Sorry I cannot be more specific....

No problem! It you get it figured out for your situation and have time to submit a PR for docs update someplace with what you have learned, I am sure...

`retrieve()` is actually not implemented, looks like it was overlooked. A PR to add this would be welcomed! Please see https://github.com/hybridgroup/gocv/blob/release/CONTRIBUTING.md#something-you-wantneed-from-opencv-does-not-appear-to-be-in-gocv

This is a new PR to address the static build issue on Linux: https://github.com/hybridgroup/gocv/pull/802 Windows will be worked on in a subsequent PR.

Hello @opuqo thanks for the contribution. I am just wondering is returning an error really needed? Or perhaps just return might be sufficient to avoid the issue. Mainly we have...

@shuidaan you can load whatever file on disk using `classifier.Load()`. As long as it is valid haarcascade file, it should work.

Hi @marktheunissen looking at this, I cannot remember why it I implemented in this way. Seems like an error on my part, probably should change to match the "real" api....

I have been wanting to do some more advanced things with gstreamer myself, specifically for decoding h264 video. So I find your experiments especially interesting.
