If you do it naively your video frames will buffer waiting to be consumed causing a memory leak and eventual crash (or quick crash if you’re running on a device with constrained resources).

You really need to have a thread consuming the frames and feeding them to a worker that can run on its own clock.

Sorry for the newbie question

Under windows, say that I have an RTSP stream (or something similar)

Would you use a single python script with which one of this multithreading solutions?

1 import concurrent.futures

2 import multiprocessing

3 import threading

That's not how loop devices work on Linux.
