I am trying to integrate a Camera/Viewfinder in my all qml/pyOtherSide App, and was using the example provided by the harbour-advcompogallery harbour-advcompogallery App.

Apperently, the Camera seems to not work with the sailfish-qml launcher, since it throws an error upon activating:

[W] QCameraPrivate::_q_error:171 - Camera error: "Failed to link 'viewfinder bin queue' to 'viewfinder bin capsfilter'."

is there a way around this other than using a compiled launcher binary? In the compiled advcompogallery app it seems to work, but not in the sailfish-qml launcher.

Thanks

Rather a question for the sailfish devel mailing list?

i've sent it to the mailing list, too. Hopefully it will be adressed. Also, I have tried using qmlscene, it throws the same error, and on my linux Laptop it displays the Webcam totally fine. I guess its an issue with the port of the qmlscene runtime of SailfishOS.

I got a response on the maling List: https://lists.sailfishos.org/pipermail/devel/2015-March/005902.html

Its true, using only Sailfish.Media and QtMultimedia 5.0 worked perfectly fine:

import QtQuick 2.0
import Sailfish.Silica 1.0
import QtMultimedia 5.0
import Sailfish.Media 1.0
