Camera App suddenly not working "Capture failed"

[Salah]

@aimar Thanks for your reference, this issue should be solved with the new upcoming OS version 24.04.

[arubislander]

@Salah "should" as in, you hope it will be, or "should" as in, you have tested it on 24.04 and confirmed that it works?

@arubislander For @Salah EVERY bug get's fixed with the release of 24.04

[arubislander]

@kristatos If that is the case, I am afraid they will be sorely disappointed...

[Salah]

@arubislander Should as a hope I presume.

[Salah]

@arubislander Let us be optimistic then and encourage who are putting their efforts and sweats to make this OS more and more functional my friend.

Thumbs Up....

@Salah

Suppose that I want to debug the issue - where should I start looking for? Where is the backend (camera driver + software) used by the camera app?

[arubislander]

@ptrkrysik Do you use Waydroid? Did you share / link your Pictures or Videos folder with the container? In any case, can you check the permissions in those directories?

[ptrkrysik]

@arubislander I'm using waydroid. So do you think it might be an issue caused by waydroid?
My immediate reaction was "of course the phone wasn't running waydroid when it happened".
But currently I'm not that sure, as the only way to reliably reproduce the issue is to start waydroid and then start UBPorts camera app. After first video the camera stops working.

P.S. regarding sharing Pictures or Videos - I didn't setup sharing of those folders with waydroid. Pictures and Videos made on waydroid don't appear there.

@ptrkrysik I don't use waydroid myself. But there have been some permissions issues with other users who do use it, so that is why I asked.
