Cam isn't working on certain android browsers since a few days

[ArthurReinhart]

I have a qr reader web app, it was working fine on all browsers, but it seems after a recent update has stopped working.

The demo and my app are still working on edge and opera, but in phone browser, chrome and firefox it doesn't show any image, but a notification says chrome / firefox are capturing video

For solution look at Thread #171 "Invalid asm.js: Type mismatch in assignment [instascan.min.js]:18"

[HerbertDobernig]

Solution of Thread #171 still works after update to Chrom 71.0.3578.98

I tried that solution, but still having the same problem, no errors are thrown at all, just there is no image and the phone notification still saying the camera is being usied by chrome / firefox, edge and opera still working fine

Actually it doesn't work at all in any mobile browser i tested so far

Since this project is abandoned, does someone know any fork currently working or some working alternative?

@ArthurReinhart Permission by the browser? it might only work on https

I have the same issue on many android devices, after searching a couple of days for a good replacement library for scanning QRcode on mobile browser in pure Javascript i found ZXing library and i use it instead and its pretty good. You can find an example here : https://www.codepool.biz/html5-barcode-reader-javascript-webassembly.html.
