I am using the prebuilt binaries in the releases page in Windows, and I get this error when I try to run the qrscan command:

error: qrscan: Could not get device property Devices: Not Found

Hi, I have only tested it on Linux. Thanks for reporting. I'll probably need to redirect the issue to https://github.com/l1npengtul/nokhwa. Could you please provide more info such as your hardware (about info) and windows version?

What info do you exactly need? I am running Windows 11:

Can you test it yourself on Windows and see what doesn't work?

Currently, I only have a Linux machine, I left my Mac back at home. So, can't test on Windows and Mac. VM is probably not the way to test hardware stuff. Created issue here: l1npengtul/nokhwa#53

Could you please mention the model of the webcam?

I have 3 DirectShow webcams: GoPro Webcam, OBS Virtual Camera, and NVIDIA Broadcast. And I have the ManyCam Virtual Webcam for use in UWP applications.

In a similar case, I have tried zbar from MSYS2, and the ManyCam Virtual Webcam worked.
