Not sure whether it is me being in the UK, but out of all the things Ive tried to scan, the only things ive had recognised is a couple of books
My brother has an iphone and his app recognises pretty much everything he scans in
I havent used the buddy option, only the external links
If it's the latter then please send me some images, if it's the former, the yeah that may well be - we need more backend plugins to do lookups of decoded EANs

Sorry I should have been clearer, the images captured produce the results required, ie the barcodes scanned decode successfully its the weblookups that dont produce the results
Im not sure what the iphone uses, other than it goes on the internet to search the results

I also don't know. Amazon should perform reasonably, but over here one can't easily perform EAN lookups afair.
There are certainly a number of online sources we could use for lookups, take a look at the web.c code in the gtk+ version of mbarcode (they are only partial, but give the base url). When I get some time I'll try writing some more lookup-plugins (unless some of you lot beat me there
)

There is a bug in the packaging. The plugins don't depend on the mbarcode application, so you can install the plugins without the application. Normally if you install a plugin the application get's installed, too.

I have the vcard plugin installed(i think part of the qrcode plugin), but doesn't seem to work. I searched this thread, but didn't see anything about it.
Is it supposed to work(i.e. add contact to address book)?
vcard text is recognized and I have a button to open vcard
