 You must be sure to run it in a not dark environment outside with enough light for your webcam, otherwise cv2 on macOS will output an array with mostly zeros and it will stop events from generating as there is not enough light change spotted in the picture. 
 
 This is a weird bug actually that comes from the IEBCS library, which does not provide the fallback for cv2 img as NoneType. It might also be caused by how Apple webcams work in their hardware.

 ## GCC version below 10
 
 AEStream relies on modern compiler features and requires at least GCC 10 and CMake 3.20. To update GCC to version 10 on Windows the recommended approach is to install the MinGW-w64 toolchain which provides up-to-date GCC builds for Windows. MSBuild might also fail due to exceeding the maximum path length limit (260 characters) on Windows, which means that your folders can not be deeply nested (actually a hilarious fail, who even set that limit).
