Hello everyone,

I’d say this is a continuation of the following thread:

Video rotating when played on tv General Discussions

When video is recorded on portable devices, its always recorded the same way, but a “rotation” flag is saved in the file. On playback, the rendering device is expected to rotate the video appropriately for display. TVs are notoriously bad about aspect ratios and rotation flags. You haven’t given much info about the type of playback device you are using. Three things you can try that might help - Disable Direct Play on the playback device. That will allow Plex to repackage the video stream in…

My setup:
Server version 1.41.3.9314 (Running on Ubuntu)
Plex Web player version 4.145.0

App’s
Plex version 10.26.0.2578
Plex Photos version 0.2.0 (1084)
Plex TV version 10.26.0.2578

I have managed to isolate the issue on Plex Android apps.
When a video recorded on the phone is being played through Plex Web player, it is correctly orientated.

When played through any of the above-mentioned apps, this is the result:

If I turn on conversion, orientation changes but is still not correct:

I am willing to troubleshoot the issue. Let me know if there is anything else that you might need to fix this.

Warm regards,
Dragan
