Image capture on some Nokia phones

[maranoid]

Hi all
I have a problem with image capture on following devices:
Nokia 5130 xpress music
2690,nokia
Spice-m6460
Nokia x2-00
C1-01 Nokia
Nokia 2370

This is my code:
Start player:

private Object startPlayer() throws IOException, MediaException {

        Object item = null;
        try {
	    String supportedDevices = (String) System.getProperty("camera.resolutions");
	    String[] resolutions = Utils.split(supportedDevices, ' ');
	    String[] device = Utils.split(resolutions[0], ':');
	    String phoneDefaultCamera = device[0].trim();
	    m_locator = "capture://" + phoneDefaultCamera;
            m_objPlayer = Manager.createPlayer(m_locator);
            m_objPlayer.realize();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
	    m_locator = "capture://video";
            m_objPlayer = Manager.createPlayer(m_locator);
            m_objPlayer.realize();
        }

        m_objVideoControl = (GUIControl) m_objPlayer.getControl("GUIControl");
        if (m_objVideoControl != null) {
	    try {
		item = m_objVideoControl.initDisplayMode(GUIControl.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE, null);
		if(item == null || (item instanceof Item))
		    item = m_objVideoControl.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_DIRECT_VIDEO, null);
		m_objPlayer.prefetch();
	    } catch (Exception e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
		// Quirk for Blackberry
		item = m_objVideoControl.initDisplayMode(GUIControl.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE, "net.rim.device.api.ui.Field");
		m_objPlayer.prefetch();
	    };

            return item;
        }
        return null;
    }

Capture:

byte[] data = null;
	String phoneDefaultEncoding = "";
	String preferredEncoding = PREFERRED_IMAGE_ENCODING;
	try {
	    String supportedFormatStr = (String) System.getProperty("video.snapshot.encodings");
	    if (supportedFormatStr != null) {
		String[] formats = Utils.split(supportedFormatStr, ' ');
		phoneDefaultEncoding = formats[0].trim();
	    }
	    try {
		try {
		    // First try to get snapshot in format we prefer
		    m_snapshot = preferredEncoding + "&width=640&height=480";
		    data = ((VideoControl) m_objVideoControl).getSnapshot(m_snapshot);
		} catch (MediaException me) {
		    // Workaround for phones with rotaded by 90 deg camera
		    m_snapshot = preferredEncoding + "&width=480&height=640";
		    data = ((VideoControl) m_objVideoControl).getSnapshot(m_snapshot);
		}
	    } catch (MediaException me0) {
		// Can't get snapshot in preferred format, so, use phone default
		// TODO: use getSourceHeight()/getSourceWidth() to determine image ratio
		preferredEncoding = phoneDefaultEncoding;
		try {
		     m_snapshot = preferredEncoding + "&width=640&height=480";
		    data = ((VideoControl) m_objVideoControl).getSnapshot(m_snapshot);
		} catch (MediaException me) {
		    // Workaround for phones with rotaded by 90 deg camera
		     m_snapshot = preferredEncoding + "&width=480&height=640";
		    data = ((VideoControl) m_objVideoControl).getSnapshot(m_snapshot);
		}
	    }
	} catch (Exception m) {
	    // Last try
	    try {
		 m_snapshot = preferredEncoding;
		data = ((VideoControl) m_objVideoControl).getSnapshot(m_snapshot);
	    } catch (Exception e) {
		//This is the end
	    }
	}

We have a lot of users worldwide and try to support as many phone models as possible. But currently we experiencing problem with these models.
What's wrong?

Hello maranoid,

and welcome to Nokia Developer Discussion Boards!

Could you clarify more in detail about what kind of problem are you experiencing with the affected devices?

As r2j7 said, more details are needed.
My first guess is related to the capture locator. On Series 40 phones (at least on older models) the correct one for snapshots is capture://image
