  1. Windows 10 Camera APP preview get frozen using USB camera.


    HI,


    There is a simple scenario, a USB camera connect to a PC and the Camera APP preview for long time.

    After about dozens(sometimes hundreds) of hours, the Camera probably get frozen.

    The UVC frame format is mjpeg.


    I find 2 conditions of this issue.

    1. It will not occurs without using MediaCapture.AddVideoEffectAsync, just preview by using MediaCapture.StartPreviewAsync.

    2. When USB device isochronous transfers drops one packet, part of jpeg frame, it happens.


    Accrod to the USB Specification, The timely delivery of isochronous data is ensured at the expense of potential transient losses in the data
    stream.

    So whether there is any bug in Windows.Media.Capture? And any way to walk around the camera frozen issue?

    :)

    Windows Camera app no longer works


    On my ASUS G74SX-3DE Notebook, Windows Camera no longer works after the app update(s) recently.

    It would start up with:

    Windows 10 Camera APP preview get frozen using USB camera. [​IMG]


    I have no idea who makes the camera for the device and ASUS doesn't provide Windows 10 drivers except the camera works fine with other apps.

    Windows installs a driver with the device listed as:
    USB2.0 UVC 1M WebCam
    in device manager with driver version 10.0.10240.16384 and the date

    USB\VID_13D3&PID_5134&MI_00
    USB\VID_13D3&PID_5134&REV_0725&MI_00

    is the device ID's

    Change the camera that the Windows 10 camera app uses.

    From http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/camera-app-faq:

    1. Open the Camera app.
    2. Swipe in from the bottom edge to see the app commands.
      (If you're using a mouse, right-click within the app.)
    3. Tap or click the Change camera button.
