Hi guys,

I'm trying to stream some video file (.mp4). I wrote a node:

#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>

#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    cv::VideoCapture cap("chaplin.mp4"); 


    cv::namedWindow("A_good_name", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);


    if(!cap.isOpened() )
    {
        std::cout << "\nCannot open the video file.\n";
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    double fps = cap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FPS); //get the fps

    int waitKeyValue = 10;

    while(true)
    {
        cv::Mat frame;


        if(!cap.read(frame) )
        {
            std::cout <<"\n Cannot read the video file.\n";
            return EXIT_FAILURE;
        }

        cv::imshow("A_good_name", frame);

        int key = cv::waitKey(waitKeyValue);

        if(key != -1)
            std::cout << key << std::endl;

        if(key == 32) //space button for pause
        {
            if(waitKeyValue)
                waitKeyValue = 0;
            else
                waitKeyValue = 10;
        }

        if(key == 27) //escape button for exit
            break;
    }

    cap.release();
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

my CMakeLists.txt looks like this:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15.2)
project(task)

SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++14")

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  roscpp

  message_generation

  image_transport
  sensor_msgs

install(DIRECTORY include/${PROJECT_NAME}/
  DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_INCLUDE_DESTINATION}
  FILES_MATCHING PATTERN "*.h"

)

I moved video (chaplin.mp4) in my code directory, but when I enter

$ rosrun task playVideo_node

I get:

init done
opengl support available

Cannot open the video file.

Then I tried to move video in execute file directory, but problem is same. Does anyone has suggestion what should I do?

Thanks in advance.

rosrun executes with the cwd in your current directory so relatively links should be relative to your current path. Not the source or executable directory.

For others reference roslaunch uses ROS_HOME Related roslaunch question Reference roslaunch XML node attributes

I understood, thanks.
