Public bug reported: We recently added a QtMultimedia video capture backend to Oxide so that we can make video capture for WebRTC work on the phone. However, whilst this works fine on desktop, no cameras are detected on the phone because QCamera::availableDevices() returns nothing.
It seems that this functionality hasn't been implemented in qtubuntu- camera (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/qtubuntu- camera/trunk/view/head:/src/aalcameraserviceplugin.cpp#L43). Chromium does depend on the ability to enumerate devices, and there's a public facing API for this as well (https://developer.mozilla.org/en- US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices). ** Affects: oxide Importance: High Assignee: Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson) Status: Triaged ** Affects: oxide/1.11 Importance: High Assignee: Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson) Status: Triaged ** Affects: qtubuntu-camera (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: oxide/1.11 Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: oxide Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: oxide Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: oxide Assignee: (unassigned) => Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson) ** Changed in: oxide/1.11 Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: oxide/1.11 Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: oxide/1.11 Assignee: (unassigned) => Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson) ** Changed in: oxide Milestone: None => branch-1.12 ** Changed in: oxide/1.11 Milestone: None => 1.11.1 ** Also affects: qtubuntu-camera (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to qtubuntu-camera in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1508972 Title: Can't enumerate cameras on the phone Status in Oxide: Triaged Status in Oxide 1.11 series: Triaged Status in qtubuntu-camera package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: We recently added a QtMultimedia video capture backend to Oxide so that we can make video capture for WebRTC work on the phone.
