Error [tcp @ 0x27a4a00] Port missing in uri

Python

I am using OpenCV with Python to transmit an IP camera in the browser with Flask.

In Local works very well, but on the Web server with Apache (Ubuntu 18.04) I receive an error: [tcp @ 0x27a4a00] Port missing in uri

I am using this code:

index.html (Under directory ‘templates’ of Flask)

<html>
  <head>
    <title>RTSP web streaming</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>RTSP web streaming</h1>
    <h3>XND-6080RV (ip:192.168.2.196)</h3>
    <h4>python webstreaming.py --ip <host ip> --port <host port></h4>
    <img src="{{ url_for('video_feed') }}">
  </body>
</html>

app.py

# initialize the output frame and a lock used to ensure thread-safe
# exchanges of the output frames (useful when multiple browsers/tabs are viewing the stream)
outputFrame = None

        # cv2.namedWindow(('IP camera DEMO'), cv2.WINDOW_AUTOSIZE)
        while True:
            ret_val, frame = cap.read()
            if frame.shape:
                frame = cv2.resize(frame, (640,360))
                with lock:
                    outputFrame = frame.copy()
            else:

            # encode the frame in JPEG format
            (flag, encodedImage) = cv2.imencode(".jpg", outputFrame)
 
            # ensure the frame was successfully encoded
            if not flag:
                continue
 
        # yield the output frame in the byte format
        yield(b'--frame\r\n' b'Content-Type: image/jpeg\r\n\r\n' + 
            bytearray(encodedImage) + b'\r\n')

@app.route("/video_feed")
def video_feed():
    # return the response generated along with the specific media
    # type (mime type)
    return Response(generate(),
        mimetype = "multipart/x-mixed-replace; boundary=frame")

# check to see if this is the main thread of execution
if __name__ == '__main__':
    # construct the argument parser and parse command line arguments
    ap = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    ap.add_argument("-i", "--ip", type=str, required=False, default='192.168.2.226',
        help="ip address of the device")
    ap.add_argument("-o", "--port", type=int, required=False, default=8000, 
        help="ephemeral port number of the server (1024 to 65535)")
    ap.add_argument("-f", "--frame-count", type=int, default=32,
        help="# of frames used to construct the background model")
    args = vars(ap.parse_args())

    t = threading.Thread(target=stream, args=(args["frame_count"],))
    t.daemon = True
    t.start()
 
    # start the flask app
    app.run(host=args["ip"], port=args["port"], debug=True,
        threaded=True, use_reloader=False)
 
# release the video stream pointer
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

I repeat: In a local port Since my Raspberry Pi works perfectly the transmission, but, on the AWS Ubuntu Web server 18.04 the rest of the Python / Flask program works well minus the transmission. The transmission is loading and does not show anything, and in console, I put that error.

always put full error message (starting at word “Traceback”) in question.
There are other useful information.

You could also print url which code uses on server - to check if it has PORT.

And last think: some servers may block access to external resource - to block spamers/hackers/bots.

EDIT:

If you use IP 192.168.2.196 to access camera then it will not work.
It is IP in LAN (Local Area Network) and it can’t be accessed from Internet.

I already solved this problem. The password had #@ at the end and apparently OpenCV did not distinguish between the pass and the port interception (pass@ip). Solution: remove # @ from password.
