Video stream camera IP with openCV - ERROR

I am trying to obtain the video from an IP camera but I obtain this message instead:

    WARNING: Couldn't read movie file 
"[http://IP_ADDRESS:PORT/videostream.cgi?user=ADMIN&password=pass][1]"

I have imported all of the opencv's libraries to my project. My object "cap" has a valid value when I use: VideoCapture cap(0); But when I try this with HTTP, it's not working.

My code is:

VideoCapture cap("[http://IP_ADDRESS:PORT/videostream.cgi?user=ADMIN&password=pass][2]");

if ( !cap.isOpened() )  // if not success, exit program
{
    cout << "Cannot open the video file" << endl;
    return -1;
}
else {
    cout << "OK" << endl;
}

Thanks.

Just disable password and try again, I heard that OpenCV does not support password-protected streams. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7574554/stream-video-from-ffmpeg-and-capture-with-opencv – Haris Apr 10 '14 at 12:32

Haris, consider posting this as an answer. – ouflak Apr 10 '14 at 12:40
Same error without password @Haris – Matthieu Apr 10 '14 at 12:48
Yo may need to disable pass word. – Haris Apr 10 '14 at 13:00
@Matthieu Pass dummy parameter as video extension like, `IpCam.open("http://IP:8080/?dummy=param.mjpg");` – Haris Apr 10 '14 at 13:03
