OpenCV and GoPro - empty frames in the VideoCapture stream

Question

I have a GoPro Hero 3+ (black) that is connected to a video capture card (AverMedia Game Broadcaster HD). I just want to get the video stream in OpenCV. There are no problems with the Logitech webcam. The code used is below.

VideoCapture cap;
cap.open(0);

waitKey(300);

//cap.set(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 1280);
//cap.set(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 720);

if (cap.isOpened()){
    cout << "Cam identified" << endl;
}

namedWindow("dst", 1);

while (1){

Mat frame;

if (!cap.read(frame)) {
    std::cout << "Unable to read frame from video stream" << std::endl;
    continue;
}

imshow("dst", frame);

[...]

}

The following happens with GoPro: OpenCV can open VideoCapture ("Cam identized"), but cannot read any frames (only gray screen and output: "Unable to read frame from video stream"). I also checked this with frame.empty () ;.
