Error with webcam when compiling to Beaglebone Black

For more time than I am willing to admit, I have tried getting the Beaglebone Black up and running with OpenCV and a camera. However, having compiled OpenCV 4.0.0/3.4.6/3.4.0 manually and trying to initialize a camera using the Python bindings, it continue to fail.

Using v4l2-ctl I can both view and set formats etc. from the terminal, but when trying something as simple as

import cv2

vs = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
retVal, frame = vs.read()

this yields:

>> select timeout
>> VIDIOC_DQBUF: Resource temporarily unavailable

Camera works perfectly fine on a Raspberry Pi and my PC, and funny thing - on the Beaglebone I tried to install OpenCV using apt-get which made the camera work just fine.

So

sudo apt-get install python-opencv

which installs OpenCV 3.2.0 (without any hardware optimizations for arm) works..

Would any of you happen to know what I am missing here? Is there simply a bug in OpenCV or am I missing something for my build?

For more information I have attached my build overview below:

which looks somewhat fine to me.

Edit 1

I have now tried to compile OpenCV 3.4.6 with v4l2, ffmpeg and gstreamer1.0. This now gives me the error:

vs = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
