[BUG] Vertical videos rotated and stretched

[andrzej-r]

Describe the bug Vertical videos are displayed on a vertical canvas (correct) but are rotated 90Deg CCW and stretched vertically to fill the canvas.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Play back a video that was recorded on a mobile phone held vertically

Expected behavior The canvas orientation is correct but the video content should not be rotated, in which case vertical stretching would not be needed.

My setup (please complete the following information):

• Android OS version: 9
• Device: Sony Bravia
• Immich app version: 1.18.1

Could you please upload an example video to this album? https://giejay-immich.duckdns.org/share/MW5mEqx2jClEEwLeZuQvBVL28MwwJCeJchXvBjyK5MvA_jEU693CdI1lmRPLc_BmBCU Password: vertical

Done.

There is also a minor issue with the preview thumbnail - it is displayed horizontally (orientation is correct, the image looks zoomed in).

[giejay]

Hmm. For me, it's playing it like this:

That's fine right? For you it's 90 degrees turned?

[andrzej-r]

Yes, your screenshot looks correct (same as in the web or android Immich app). On my TV however the canvas shape is the same but the contents is rotated 90Deg CCW and video is stretched to fit the canvas.

Ah yes, this was a screenshot from an emulator using Android 11. When using my Sony Bravia with Android 9, I see your issue. I had the exact same issue when playing the media with Plex, some time ago so not sure if there's a solution. I will do some research

I upgraded the exoplayer dependency to use media3, but the issue persists. I didnt find another solution yet so I will probably open a GitHub issue at the media3 repo

Hi, have you perhaps received any feedback/update from media3? Thanks
