Description
I am using cv.VideoCapture but my video has come from a web service and is in a buffer (e.g. as base64). Do I have to make a temp file so that I can pass a path to VideoCapture or is there some other neater way? I’m using cv.imdecode for images with no need for a temp file.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Node.js bindings for cv.VideoCapture and compare their accepted inputs with the cv.imdecode path described in the issue. Determine whether buffer input is supported or what project change would be needed, then define a validation case showing video capture without a temporary file.
