I took back a python project that uses openCV to show images in a separate window. The project is in Python 3.8 and I am upgrading it to Python 3.12. I also updating openCV from version 4.4.0.46 to version 4.11.0.86. The project consist of a local web server with Flask that can do various operations depending on the API call. One API call result in the following set of lines of code: window_name = "projector" if cv2.getWindowProperty(window_name, 0) >= 0: cv2.imshow(window_name, full_screen_frame) else: cv2.namedWindow(window_name, cv2.WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN) cv2.moveWindow(window_name, window_move[0], window_move[1]) cv2.setWindowProperty(window_name, cv2.WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN, cv2.WINDOW_FULLSCREEN) cv2.imshow(window_name, full_screen_frame) cv2.waitKey() In the 4.4 version, I can call this API multiple times and everything works fine. In the 4.11 version I have an exception on the getWindowProperty call. I fixed it using a try/except clause and the image shows just fine. But when the API il called again, the code stop executing a the getWindowProperty line, as if the waitKey is blocking the execution. I have another API that closes the window with cv2.destroyAllWindows() but it also frezze on that line with the version 4.11 I don’t understand this change of behaviour. Do you know how to solve this issue? Thank you Continue reading...
