Capturing a Multicast UDP Video stream using OpenCV

Question

I have a multi-cast UDP Video stream that I need my OPenCV (Emgu ) 2.4.x app to capture and process (\"client\").

On the client, I can capture the stream using VLC

Answer 1

IplImage* frame;
CvCapture* pCapture;
pCapture = cvCaptureFromFile("udp://ip:port/path");
frame = cvQueryFrame(pCapture);

This will also do the job in case you don't have videoInput libraries
