How to retrieve filename from OpenCV's VideoCapture() in Python?

Question

After we've created VideoCapture with cv2.VideoCapture(filename) how can we retrieve filename ? Looks like get() method with propId is not what I'm looking for

Answer 1

sorry, but you cannot retrieve the filename from a cv2.VideoCapture.

(also, webcams or ip captures wont even have one)

since the filename is in your code, you need to cache it in a variable instead.
