Re: Spectralworkbench accessing front cam only

Including Public Lab's spectrometry mailing list. Perhaps someone there will be able to help with the Samsung Galaxy S5 camera selection problem.

Hi would appreciate some help.  Prior tobuilding the desktop version I wanted to test out the simple cell phone design.....but when I try to use spectralworkbench on my Samsung galaxy s5 via chrome, the program accesses my front camera and there is no option I can see to switch to rear facing can. Am I missing something obvious? Can someone provide any input?

Hi -- this is an unresolved bug we haven't made progress on recently; https://github.com/publiclab/spectral-workbench/issues/57

(formerly, and with more detail, at https://github.com/jywarren/spectral-workbench/issues/248, but the two are linked together)

Basically, Chrome has it's own way of changing webcam selection via a JavaScript call, and while we implemented it, it seems only to work on Chrome Desktop and not Chrome for Android. 

If anyone is able to attempt a fix on this, it would be *deeply* appreciated. 

Jeff

Oh, and I almost forgot - the workaround is to use Firefox or Opera for Android.
