Webcam stream from Julia

[aamini]

I'm trying to start experimenting for my final project; specifically with grabbing real-time video from the webcam. I'm able to do this with FFmpeg on the command line; however I am looking for a way interface this directly with Julia (so I can grab real-time images within Julia).

I found a package, VideoIO (https://github.com/kmsquire/VideoIO.jl), which is supposed to do exactly this. I am able to add/build the package in Julia 0.4 and 0.5 but unable to open the webcam interface.

I was wondering if there is anyone in the Julia Lab that I could talk to for help with this (and/or anyone in the class that had a similar problem). For more details on my error I posted an issue to the actual package: JuliaIO/VideoIO.jl#88
