This doesn't work for me either. I don't her a black screen, but looking at the QR code through the camera just does nothing. Looks like it's not being recognised.
Disappointed that in 2 months there has been no response to this.

You know what I did to fix it? I downloaded an app from F-droid called Binary Eye. It scans codes so much better than my phone's native app. Highly recommend it.
