certain functions in libhighgui doesn't work

[Lucio Carreras]

Binary package hint: libhighgui-dev

cvGetCaptureProperty(...) seems to have no effect. No matter which property is chosen, the function always returns 0;

cvSetCaptureProperty(...) also doesn't work. There's no way to set the pointer to a specific position in the avi file.

Under Windows these functions work without problems.

I'm using Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04. But these functions also didn't work on earlier releases.

I have the same problem.

I'm using Kubuntu Intrepid 8.10.

Same with Jaunty.

cvCreateFileCapture() fails opening video files too. The same code in windows works fine.

I'm on Karmic and have the same problem as well:

- calls to cvGetCaptureProperty() always return 0

I'm using the Python bindings: python-opencv

Forgot to add this:

python-opencv 1.0.0-6.2ubuntu1
