Camera app starts, but is all black, with an error telling WindowShowFailed 0x80131502

Code snippet

await CrossMedia.Current.TakeVideoAsync(new StoreVideoOptions
         {
            Directory = "Test",
            SaveToAlbum = true,
            Quality = VideoQuality.Medium
         });

Screenshots

This seems to be a problem in earlier versions of the plugin as well. Probably not introduced in v5.

I'm pretty sure this is a windows bug. I have the exact same issue. If I launch the camera app separately, go into video, make a quick recording, then go back to my app and launch TakeVideoAsync, it magically works.

Same issue here. Like @patrickabadi said, if I launch the camera app on its own, and go back to my app and launch TakeVideoAsync, it works.

I'm running into this problem too. Has anyone found a solution or workaround besides manually launching the Camera app and switching to video?
