This is on a rather old Ubuntu Studio (18.04) with Python3, and after loading the specified requirements from requirements.txt with pip.

Thanks for the issue (and for letting me play with your display). I'll look into it.

What is the output of pip3 list | grep vidgear?

If the vidgear module version is older than 0.3.2, please try pip3 install --upgrade vidgear

[gavanfantom]

Vidgear is 0.2.4 is what I have. Trying to ugprade it with pip yields the same version.

It seems that vidgear 0.3.2 requires Python >= 3.8. I have Python 3.6.9. Perhaps that's the problem?

That's probably it. Python 3.6 has reached EOL Dec 2021 and is no longer receiving security updates.
