Error occurs when capturing the Jetson TX2 onboard camera (dev/video0)

I am having a Jetson TX2 running JetPack 3.2

@mingqxu I used a USB-connected camera. I did notice that others have run into this issue as well such as here.

I am not planning to try to make this work with the in-built camera in the near future, but please comment back if you get it working and what kind of workaround worked for you.
