Public bug reported: At the moment when an application that started the camera stops becoming active, the camera remains running and other applications can't use it.
The system should automatically detect when an app is being deactivate and stop the camera, as a minimum. To be symmetric, when the app gets activated again, it should also restart it. However this might not be as simple since the camera might have been re-configured by other apps so if we want the process to be full automatic the state of the camera configuration should be saved and restored as well. ** Affects: qtubuntu-camera (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to qtubuntu-camera in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1375163 Title: Stop and restart the camera automatically when app changes active state Status in “qtubuntu-camera” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: At the moment when an application that started the camera stops becoming active, the camera remains running and other applications can't use it.
