Worked on the opencv/opencv repository to address a regression in the RTSP/FFmpeg video capture path, focusing on improving streaming stability and reliability. The primary contribution involved fixing a conditional logic issue so that the default RTSP TCP preference is correctly applied when no FFmpeg capture options are specified, resolving inconsistent behavior in empty-option scenarios. This targeted bug fix enhanced the predictability of RTSP streaming for downstream users and improved code maintainability. The work was implemented using C++ and leveraged expertise in FFmpeg and video capture, reflecting a careful approach to code health and runtime consistency within the project.
