8 months ago I had a similar problem. I wanted to start VLC full screen / minimal interface on my Pi4 for an rtsp stream from a Reolink camera. If I started VLC manually and selected the minimal interface and full screen options it did display correctly. But if I tried it using command line options (specifically --fullscreen) it came out inverted.
For me, the solution was to add --qt-fullscreen-screennumber=1 so the final command reads
/usr/bin/vlc --started-from-file --qt-minimal-view --qt-fullscreen-screennumber=1 --fullscreen rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.1:554/h264Preview_01_main
So you might try changing your VLC startup to include that option
Hope this helps.
Raspberry Pi 4, 2gb, Bullseye OS, 5” touch screen 800 x 480 connected via DSI.
I want to use the display upside down for wiring reasons, so I go to pi dropdown menu - display configuration - right click my primary display and set orientation to inverted - reboot.
Everything looks fine (pygame is inverted and all other apps are inverted) until I launch vlc (via CVLC —fullscreen mode) the video ignores the inverted display setting and plays the video upside down.
Is there a setting that I need to change within VLC player? I’ve tried to go to video filters orientation 180° and it doesn’t work. also tried to send the video filter settings via cvlc and it doesn’t invert the video. Any ideas?
Also have a similar issue with full screen photo slideshows (skin tones turn blue, but only in full screen mode)
