Possible PhotoCapture Bug
I'm looking for some help in understanding how the PhotoCapture class is working. I've found that it gets into a funny/bad state if the webcam is in use (live streaming to the portal for example) when my app calls StartPhotoModeAsync. In this case the callback is never called, not even after the web cam is released and available but photo mode seems to be partially started. By partially I mean that a call to StopPhotoModeAsync fails with the message that photo mode isn't started but call to StartPhotoModeAsync also fails with a message that photo mode has started. And disposing of the PhotoCapture object has no effect on this state.
Feels like a bug, but I'd like to know if anyone else has encountered this. I'm only concerned about it because I'd like to make my app as robust as possible. Meaning, I want to be able to recover from bad states.
