Research direction
The failure is reported in FaceDetectionMin.py at cv2.VideoCapture(0), with the same result for a video path. Start by reproducing that entry point and inspecting the installed cv2 package and VideoCapture binding; done means identifying the root cause and verifying a fix for both camera and file input.
