Automatic screen orientation does not work? #890

Important information

Android version: 12

mpv-android version: 2023-11-30-release

Description

On Settings > User Interface > Screen Orientation, I have it set to "Automatic" but if I play portrait videos, it still turns landscape. I was hoping that it will detect the aspect ratio of the video playing and automatically turn it landscape or portrait accordingly but right now, all videos play in landscape.

Maybe this can help. Mpv doesn't seem to abide by rotation metadata and decides orientation based on resolution and aspect ratio. Here is a sample video with such metadata

Mpv plays this in landscape mode with black bars on both sides.
