Camera option

[apo000]

How can i use the Camera option?
When i press "Capture" nothing is happening (this happens also in the demo http://cirocosta.github.io/qcode-decoder/)

Thank you.

The problem here is that qcode-decoder uses a deprecated browser API. I get the following console error when trying to run the example:

getUserMedia() no longer works on insecure origins. To use this feature, you should consider switching your application to a secure origin, such as HTTPS. See https://goo.gl/rStTGz for more details.

The library most likely still works when browsing with an encrypted connection (https).

Navigator.getUserMedia() has been deprecated for all browsers as seen on MDN.

Also on Firefox, qcode-decoder still uses the (even older) deprecated navigator.mozGetUserMedia which has since been replaced with navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia. This should be updated in

I've tried setting up HTTPS and the problem persists. Using Firefox mobile the selection of camera happens BEFORE loading the full page, so the browser manages to tell qcode-decoder what camera to use. Instead, using Chrome mobile, where the browser doesn't ask what camera you would like to use, the switch doesn't work.

I've tried looking into the code to set the VideoFacingModeEnum property to "environment" as stated in https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/getusermedia.html#dom-videofacingmodeenum-environment but couldn't make it work.
