Bug Description

Am I missing something else? All I get is this:

python2 qtqr.py

QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap
WARNING: no compatible input to output format
...trying again with output disabled
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "qtqr.py", line 709, in decodeWebcam
    qr.decode_webcam(device=device)
  File "/home/silent/.qr-tools/qrtools.py", line 209, in decode_webcam
    proc.init(device)
zbar.UnsupportedError: ERROR: zbar processor in zbar_processor_init():

Not really sure, first time I see that error. Is your webcam detected
properly?

Yeah, the webcam works fine in all other applications. And it's detected fine by qtqr as well. It just doesn't work. I select the camera, and click OK, and it does this.

Do you happen to have a Logitech QuickCam?? Seems to be a known bug for
ZBar, the library we are using to decode using the webcam.

Could you check using zbar directly if it works, please?

Thanks in advance.

No, it's a '123 BisonCam NB Pro'. That's what it shows up as in qtqr anyway.

zbar does this:

zbarcam /dev/video0
WARNING: no compatible input to output format
...trying again with output disabled
ERROR: zbar processor in zbar_processor_init():
    unsupported request: no compatible image format

It does the same thing with an external webcam.

I'm sorry, it a compatibility issue of zbar. You should probably report the
problem to them, I can't help.
