title: Python: Panasonic network stream not recognized using OpenCV
body: <p>I am trying to read a stream from a Panasonic network camera (WV SFV481) using Python and openCV. However the stream does not seem to be recognized since <code>cap.isOpened()</code> returns <code>False</code>. Here is what I tried (The turned off lines are the different adresses I tried to capture the stream):</p>
  <pre><code>import cv2
  
  #cap = cv2.VideoCapture('http://169.254.5.128:581/1')
  #cap = cv2.VideoCapture('admin:12345@169.254.5.128:581/1')
  #cap = cv2.VideoCapture('admin:12345@http://169.254.5.128:581/1')
  #cap = cv2.VideoCapture('http://169.254.5.128:581/live/index.html?Language=9')
  #cap = cv2.VideoCapture('admin:12345@169.254.5.128:581/live/index.html?Language=9')
  #cap = cv2.VideoCapture('admin:12345@http://169.254.5.128:581/live/index.html?Language=9')
  
  if cap.isOpened() == False:
      print(&quot;Error File Not Found&quot;)
  while cap.isOpened():
      ret, frame = cap.read()
      
      if ret == True:
          cv2.imshow('frame',frame)
      
          if cv2.waitKey(1) &amp; 0xFF ==ord('q'):
              break
          
      else:
          break
  cap.release()
  cv2.destroyAllWindows()
  </code></pre>
  <p>Thanks in adnvance, I really appreciate any help!</p>
