use pictures instead of camera

[salsa2k]

There is any way to use pictures instead of the camera?

Thanks

It's a good idea. What do you have in mind? To upload an image and decode it?

yes, correct, some devices like Amazon Tablets don't have a camera barcode scan. Would be nice to be able to take a photo and use it to decode.

On one of the other html5-qrcode libraries, they use file input as a fallback which seemed a good way to handle this (additionally as another callback for debugging this would also be helpful).

An easier idea would be to allow passing a ref to an img element instead of only being able to pass it to a video element -- that way you wouldn't have to worry about implementing any sort of upload input/element
