Videos taken in portrait mode are not rotated properly on Android TV #70
Comments
Hi. Could you please send me the example file? |
I've looked into this a little more, and it looks like that if I try to play any video taken in portrait, it becomes streched as shown in the screenshot. If I then press the back button and retry to view, the video plays back as it's supposed to (in the correct orientation). Then same can be done by moving to another video/photo and back to the video I'm trying to play. An email should be coming your way with a sample (used WeTransfer so the link will remain valid for a week) |
Thanks, I've received your sample. |
So far, I have not been able to reproduce the issue on my devices, but I'll keep it in mind. |
Quick update: I've recently got my hands on a Nvidia Shield, which is more powerful than my TV, and I can't reproduce this issue on it. |
When I searched for a potential cause of the issue, other developers blamed device-specific video codecs that can't handle rotation metadata properly. Maybe modern codecs on phones and NVIDIA SHIELD have the proper handling. Was it easy to install the app on this device? |
I see, that makes sense. Yeah, as easy as any android TV, I sideloaded it just fine with a USB stick. |
Hello, I have the same issue with a Sony Bravia 2023 TV. |
Hey @YoranSys and @linosgian, the latest release has the player library updated, which may fix the issue. Consider checking it out. |
I just tried that on Fire TV stick and same issue... portrait video not getting rotated properly..... I tried browsing my photoprism library on Web on FireTV and that is working fine.... |
Sad :( |
Hello, I have the same issue with a Sony 65X91J XR TV. |
This problem can be fixed use a external player like mpv-android |
What is wrong?
Any video on an Android TV, plays back stretched and not rotated to fit on the screen.
The same videos work fine on several android phones I've tried.
