Hi all,

thanks for OTA-10, has (sort of) fixed some things for me. Most
importantly the camera access in the webapp-container, which is now
available.

Unfortunately, the changes has introduced at least one new bugs in
both the webbrowser-app and the webapp-container: (documented for the
appear.in app at [1])

- The video image is mirrored for some reason (at least on my bq E5).
This seems to be a general problem of the changes introduced to the
webbrowser-app.

This also could mean that WebRTC is generally broken in the
webbrowser-app showing a mirrored camera image instead of a regular
one (as before OTA-10). Is this bug tracked already on LP?

Please note that camera selection in webapp-container is also still
missing in OTA-10, which is a critical feature WebRTC powered webapps.
I hope this really really comes to the platform with OTA-11. Sweet
video calling in an app may be something people on Ubuntu Touch may
have been waiting for (and who cares if it's not Skype when it works
better anyway).
