Windows support tips

[dotMorten]

I noticed it states Windows isn't supported. I do see the camera view works on Windows, but I never actually get it to scan anything.
I figured I would share my crude little Windows scan version - you should be able to incorporate that (it doesn't even require underlying ZXing engine to scan, and works very fast. Use as you please (this uses a Window but just use the MediaElement in the Maui renderer and you should be good to go):

using Windows.Media.Capture;
using Windows.Devices.PointOfService;

namespace BarcodeScanner
{
 internal static class WinUIBarcodeScannerWindow
 {
     public static async Task<string?> ShowScannerUI()
     {
         BarcodeScanner scanner = await BarcodeScanner.GetDefaultAsync();
         if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(scanner.VideoDeviceId)) // No camera
             return null;

         ClaimedBarcodeScanner claimedScanner = await scanner.ClaimScannerAsync();
         claimedScanner.IsDecodeDataEnabled = true;
         await claimedScanner.EnableAsync();

         await claimedScanner.StartSoftwareTriggerAsync();
         var settings = new MediaCaptureInitializationSettings
         {
             VideoDeviceId = scanner.VideoDeviceId,
             StreamingCaptureMode = StreamingCaptureMode.Video,
             SharingMode = MediaCaptureSharingMode.SharedReadOnly,
         };

         var mediaCapture = new MediaCapture();
         await mediaCapture.InitializeAsync(settings);
         Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.MediaPlayerElement elm = new Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.MediaPlayerElement();
         var source = Windows.Media.Core.MediaSource.CreateFromMediaFrameSource(mediaCapture.FrameSources.First().Value);
         elm.Source = source;
         Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Window w = new Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Window();
         w.AppWindow.Resize(new Windows.Graphics.SizeInt32(640, 480));
        
         w.Content = elm;
         try
         {
             w.Activate();
             await source.OpenAsync();
             elm.MediaPlayer.Play();
             TaskCompletionSource<string?> result = new();
             claimedScanner.DataReceived += (s, e) =>
             {
                 var data = Windows.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicBuffer.ConvertBinaryToString(Windows.Security.Cryptography.BinaryStringEncoding.Utf8, e.Report.ScanDataLabel);
                 result.TrySetResult(data);
             };
             w.Closed += (s, e) =>
             {
                 result.TrySetResult(null);
             };
             return await result.Task;
         }
         finally
         {
             w.Close();
         }
     }
 }
}
