Description

OpenCV version: 3.0 built from git repo
OS: Ubuntu 14.04
Compiler: Gcc 4.8.2

I use the following code to create a video capture object of an RTSP stream based on a server on my network.

@ try {
m_cam = new cv::VideoCapture(m_address);
}catch(cv::Exception &e) {
emit log("Failed to open RTSP stream at: " + QString::fromStdString(m_address));
return -3;
}
if (!m_cam->isOpened()) {
emit log("Failed to open RTSP stream at: " + QString::fromStdString(m_address));
return -3;
}else {
emit log("RTSP stream opened at: " + QString::fromStdString(m_address));
}@

Sometimes the server works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, I get the following error at the command line:

[tcp 0x2432c40] TCP connection to 10.0.0.12:8554 failed: Connection refused@

However none of the checks above indicate that there is an issue, and then my program hangs when I try to read a frame.
The object clearly knows that the connection has been refused, thus at the very least isOpened() should return false.

Hi Daniel, please try again with the current master branch. The VideoCapture class had a (now fixed) bug which was most likely the reason for your issue.

Daniel, please check if the problem is resolved with the Philipp's fix.

Sorry I've changed jobs and no longer have access to the same rtsp server to test this.
