Question

Hi,

I'm working on windows phone 8.1 and using MediaCapture to capture image and then decode to scan QRCode but mediacapture freezes my phone and need to restart it and not able to achieve which i did in windows 8 which is working fine so please suggest.

Answer 1

Hello,

Are you using a Nokia phone to test? Are you getting an error from the MediaCapture API?

There is a known issue in the camera driver on some (but not all) Windows based Nokia phones. We are currently investigating the issue and understand the root cause. We are currently working with Nokia and other partners to resolve this known issue.

I hope this helps,

James

Answer 5

I am also having lots of troubles with this. At the moment, I can only provide manual focus in my app, because auto values are leading to app crashes.

I hope you will be able to sort this out as soon as possible (now that you are Nokia ;-)).
