Reading a video in streaming (from youtube or dailymotion,...) using its URL or id

edit

Thanks for answering :) but i need to open videos stored on the internet via streaming and process them with OpenCV

Well in that case you can use VLC to store the stream and then use VideoCapture::Open() to open the video. Tell me if this helps then I can edit my answer and you can accept it. :)

Thanks alot prakharmohan :) yes it is a good idea but how can i use VLC in codeBlocks ? and is it possible? infact i should process many URLs (Big Data) and i cant store all the stream in desktop, i mean i want to read only videos i don't want to store them!! what do you think?

You are using C++? You can always open the exe files using the system() method. And if you just want to open the stream you can use cvCaptureFromFile() as I have mentioned in my answer. It works provided you provide the correct link and have all the codecs. :)

Yes your answer helps me i ll try it, thanks alot prakharmohan :))))

Refer to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21378091/stream-record-program-vlc Also: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21399999/record-stream-username-and-password-using-vlc And: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21324785/ip-camera-access-using-opencv

And no, not an inconvenience. Helping helps :)

I tried cvCaptureFromFile() and i have these wornings:"compressed swf format not supported" and "error opening file <../../modules/highgui/src/cap_ffmpeg_impl.hpp:365>" so i think at first i should convert swf to avi no!!

I think if i install k-lite codec pack perhaps my problem will be resolved ;) i ll try :)

Yup, that is ffmpeg problem. Are you using Linux for development? Because in that case you can specify at the time of compilation that you want to use ffmpeg. If you are on Linux, give it a try.

No i'm not using Linux, i'm using windows 8 :( no matter i'll try thanks :)
