Live video from IP address

[sp5677]

I was wondering if there's a way of showing a live video in customtkinter, I know there is "tkvideoplayer" but that's only for normal video.

In ChatGPT it said to do this - it wouldn't be wise to use this code I think.

import cv2
import customtkinter as ctk
from tkinter import Label
from PIL import Image, ImageTk

# Function to capture and display frames
def update_frame():
    # Read a frame from the camera stream
    ret, frame = cap.read()
    if ret:
        # Convert the frame from BGR to RGB
        frame_rgb = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

        # Convert the frame to a PIL Image
        img = Image.fromarray(frame_rgb)
        img = img.resize((640, 480))  # Resize to fit the window

        # Convert the PIL Image to an ImageTk object
        img_tk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img)

        # Update the label with the new frame
        label.config(image=img_tk)
        label.image = img_tk  # Keep a reference to the image to prevent garbage collection

    # Call the update_frame function after 10 milliseconds
    window.after(10, update_frame)

# Set up the IP camera stream (replace the URL with your camera's stream URL)
camera_url = "rtsp://username:password@ip_address:port"
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(camera_url)

# Set up the main window
window = ctk.CTk()
window.title("Live Video Stream")

# Set up the label to display the video
label = Label(window)
label.pack()

# Start updating the frames
update_frame()

# Start the Tkinter main loop
window.mainloop()

# Release the camera when done
cap.release()
