Please provide any additional information below.

If I rotate the device 90 degrees to landscape mode the video player will
rotate and return back when I rotate the device back to the correct position.

This is not a yFrog bug.

We observe this issue due to current iPhone OS behavior. In iPhone OS 3.1 and 
earlier, MPMoviePlayerController is implemented as a full-screen 
movie player only. Full-Screen implies landscape, because videos are usually 
more wide than high. This behavior will be changed starting from 
iPhone OS 3.2.

See:

MoviePlayerController_Class/MPMoviePlayerController/MP
MoviePlayerController.html

More over, the application uses built-in to Safari movie player to play a video.
