Frozen cameras in OpenCV

I have tried to place two cameras to be able to take snapshots in both, I have even put a button to activate one and then the other but one way or another whenever I activate both together or deactivate one and activate the next one the window freezes. I attach the code that I was building if you have any suggestions on the matter I would greatly appreciate it. I have little knowledge of Python in general so keep it a little friendly.

I run code and it never freeze window.
The only mistake which I found is: you fogot 1 in word visualizar1 in line lblVideo1.after(20, visualizar) in function visualizar1 - so when you start second camera then after tries to run code for first camera and it can't update image for second camera and it may look like it freeze.

Trouble calling a camera capture function tkinter

I am trying to create different radio buttons for different methods of uploading an image. I created a function for running a camera and showcasing it with a button to take a picture. Whenever I call this function it works. But when I try to call it inside tk.radiobutton I get the following error.
_tkinter.TclError: image "pyimage77" doesn't exist
Here is my code. I try to create a function called camerachoice which creates a window for the camera. #

OpenCV w/ Tkinter : Lag & window problems

I recently started using opencv with tkinter, and I started to have some problems that I can't seem to fix by myself...
The following code is supposed to play a video file while being able to choose which sub-directory you want to sort the file in. The problems I started to have is that the number of frames per seconds seems to act weird, since some clip I play seems "lagging", or don't have the right fps.
Secondly, the code seems really messy, and thus buttons "disappear" after clicking on one for a moment.
And finally, I tried to do something so the buttons get as big as possible to fill the x axis on the bottom of the window, while the main frame, with the video playing, stays the same same size (so the video is supposed to stay in the middle, adapting his height and width to the frame size without changing the ratio) but that doesn't seems to work too.
Any help will be appreciated
PS: I am using Python 3.8 with openCV 4.1.2

Python Tkinter OpenCV PIL image resize to fit label

I am trying to resize my webcam output to fit into the label but I couldn't really make it work. If you decided to try and test the code I have put a blue background in the label as a guide on how large you will need to resize the webcam output.
The code is:
from Tkinter import *
import cv2
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
isrunning = 0
def start():
global isrunning
if isrunning == 0:
global cap
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
isrunning = 1
lmain.grid(row = 1,column = 1)
def show_frame():
_, frame = cap.read()
frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)
cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGBA)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)
lmain.imgtk = imgtk
lmain.configure(image=imgtk)
if isrunning == 1:
lmain.after(10, show_frame)
show_frame()
def Stop():
global isrunning
isrunning = 0
lmain.grid_forget()
def main():
Stop()
Reset.invoke()
stopFunc.invoke()
root = Tk()
lmain = Label(root, width = 800, height = 600, bg = "blue")
stopFunc = Button(root, text = "stop", command = Stop)
Reset = Button(root, text = "Reset", command = start)
Main = Button(root, text = "Stop", command = main)
Start = Button(root, text = "Start", command = start)
Start.grid(row = 0, column = 0)
Main.grid(row = 0, column = 1)
root.mainloop()

I have tried your code, and I change some code here:
from Tkinter import *
import cv2
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
isrunning = 0
def start():
global isrunning
if isrunning == 0:
global cap
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
isrunning = 1
lmain.grid(row = 1,column = 1)
def show_frame():
_, frame = cap.read()
frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)
frame = cv2.resize(frame, (800,600))
cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGBA)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)
lmain.imgtk = imgtk
lmain.configure(image=imgtk)
if isrunning == 1:
lmain.after(10, show_frame)
else:
cap.release()
show_frame()
def Stop():
global isrunning
isrunning = 0
lmain.grid_forget()
def main():
Stop()
#Reset.invoke()
#stopFunc.invoke()
root = Tk()
lmain = Label(root, width = 800, height = 600, bg = "blue")
stopFunc = Button(root, text = "stop", command = Stop)
Reset = Button(root, text = "Reset", command = start)
Main = Button(root, text = "Stop", command = main)
Start = Button(root, text = "Start", command = start)
Start.grid(row = 0, column = 0)
Main.grid(row = 0, column = 1)
root.mainloop()
As you can see, I add one line: frame = cv2.resize(frame, (800,600)) to re-size the image.
And I found that after I add this line, here was an error occurred when I pressed the "Stop" button. So I try to use the cap.release() to release the camera every time when you pressed the "Stop" button. But I don't have webcam to test this code now, I can not ensure it will work when you re-start the stream. Hope it helps.

Python OpenCV output on Tkinter label deletion

I am trying to delete a Tkinter label that is currently displaying a webcam stream made by OpenCV. I eventually made it to happen but not with the way I wanted because it just stops the stream but the last image outputted by the stream is still present. The code is this:
from Tkinter import *
import cv2
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
def Start():
width, height = 800, 600
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
cap.set(cv2.cv.CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, width)
cap.set(cv2.cv.CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, height)
def show_frame():
_, frame = cap.read()
frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)
cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGBA)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)
lmain.imgtk = imgtk
lmain.configure(image=imgtk)
lmain.after(10, show_frame)
show_frame()
root = Tk()
lmain = Label(root)
lmain.pack(side = RIGHT)
Button1 = Button(root, text = "Start", command = Start)
Button1.pack(side = LEFT)
Button2 = Button(root, text = "Stop", command = Start)
Button2.pack(side = LEFT)
root.mainloop()
You may notice that the function I used to stop it is the same function I used to start it, that is because I am very clueless as on how to stop it.

The code is:
from Tkinter import *
import cv2
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
isrunning = 0
def Start():
global isrunning
if isrunning == 0:
global cap
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
isrunning = 1
lmain.pack(side = RIGHT)
def show_frame():
_, frame = cap.read()
frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)
cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGBA)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)
lmain.imgtk = imgtk
lmain.configure(image=imgtk)
if isrunning == 1:
lmain.after(10, show_frame)
show_frame()
def Stop():
global isrunning
isrunning = 0
lmain.pack_forget()
def main():
Stop()
Button1.invoke()
Stop()
root = Tk()
lmain = Label(root)
Button1 = Button(root, text = "Start", command = Start)
Button1.pack(side = LEFT)
Button2 = Button(root, text = "Stop", command = main)
Button2.pack(side = LEFT)
root.mainloop()

I have tried your code, and I add some code here:
from Tkinter import *
import cv2
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
isrunning = 0
def Start():
global isrunning
if isrunning == 0:
width, height = 800, 600
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
cap.set(cv2.cv.CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, width)
cap.set(cv2.cv.CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, height)
isrunning = 1
lmain.pack(side = RIGHT)
def show_frame():
_, frame = cap.read()
frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)
cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGBA)
img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)
lmain.imgtk = imgtk
lmain.configure(image=imgtk)
if isrunning == 1:
lmain.after(10, show_frame)
show_frame()
def Stop():
global isrunning
isrunning = 0
lmain.pack_forget()
root = Tk()
lmain = Label(root)
Button1 = Button(root, text = "Start", command = Start)
Button1.pack(side = LEFT)
Button2 = Button(root, text = "Stop", command = Stop)
Button2.pack(side = LEFT)
root.mainloop()
You can find that I add a global variable isrunning to let the function show_frame check every time. If the variable isrunning is equal to 0, the function will stop. And I also add the function Stop as the callback function of the "Stop" button which contains the code lmain.pack_forget() to remove the label.
Since the label will be removed every time when you click the "Stop" button, I move the code for adding the label to the Start function. Hope it helps.
