Couldn't connect to webcam.

I was able to install and run the webserver. But After i set the line and click "start count" button, the message "intializing neural network..." show in the screen and get stuck.
And i get the following error on the terminal
Couldn't connect to webcam. : No such file or directory darknet: ./src/utils.c:256: error: Assertion 0' failed.
video file: -address
Using PC to test the system. OS: ubuntu 16.04 GPU: GTX1060 CUDA 9
The darknet was already installed, so i did not install it again. Is the error happening because of that?

Hi @bmabir17,

we are not using the the standard darknet.
Have a look at this block https://github.com/moovel/lab-opendatacam/blob/4fe02e51b1adf728320bb7393ebbdd1b158f8bdd/install/install.sh#L131
or here:
https://github.com/moovel/lab-opendatacam/blob/master/README.md#install-darknet-net

It is also important that you have specified the absolute path to your darknet-net files in the config.json (see: https://github.com/moovel/lab-opendatacam/blob/master/config.json)

let me know if this solves the problem 🙂

Thank you @florianporada , i have solved the issue by using the given darknet repo. Btw, can i use the video stream of an ip camera? Is there a configuration for that? Or do i have to change it in cv.videostream() ?
