*Problem description: *When I try to use ffmpeg's v4l2 in kali to capture
the video stream of the computer camera, ffmpeg will get stuck, and then
use the shortcut key ‘’ctrl + c’’ to terminate the program, an error will
be reported: “Finishing stream 0:0 without any data written to it.”.
Please help me to solve this problem, thank you very much!
