St.video() doesn't show opencv-generated mp4

🎈 Using Streamlit

Hello there,

I am currently trying to show a video which is generated by openCV’s VideoWriter and codec mp4v.
The video is indeed there and playable locally, but st.video() won’t show it.

I tried with st.video() argument being either:

  • Local path to video
  • IOBytes format
  • np.array

None of this was successful, do you have any idea why ?

Thanks a lot,

Virgile

My bad, I just got it.

OpenCV’s mp4v codec is just not supported by HTML5 Video Player at the moment, one just need to use another encoding option (most likely x264 for mp4 videos).
