rotate movie by pressing hot-key

added Component::Video: filters Difficulty::easy Severity::normal Type::feature Version::master git + 1 deleted label

changed milestone to %1.1.12

Is this feature abandoned? I am new to VLC project and i would like to give it a try because it doesn't seem difficult.

Noone has worked on it.

I have successfully coded this feature. I can send a patch for it.

When and how will the patch of stef.orovas be made available? I am looking forward to seeing it officially implemented as soon as possible. Maybe it could even be uploaded somewhere in the meantime?

Thank you very much.

We've not seen the patch.

Sorry for the delay. I was waiting for the project's approval. I will send it as soon as possible.

Stef, any news about the approval?

I tried to code this feature but my code was not accepted. Sorry but i can't continue since my questions about my code were not answered by the mailing list.

If you really want this i can send you a copy of the vlc project in which i coded the rotation hotkeys.

These are bad news. I would really like to have this feature implemented in the main version.

I you could spend some time to send me your project, that would be great. Can you attach it here, or do you have some webspace where you can put it on? I don't like to share mail e-Mail in a public place.

That's a feature I really need and I'm waiting for it for years now, I wonder why your code was rejected? ...but also why such feature is still not yet implemented in VLC?. Maybe we can start a branch spin-off of VLC project, based on your code and call it VLC-Extreme or something :-)

Anyway, missing hotkey to rotate the video is annoying, especially for photos because VLC simply does not respect EXIF and all my slideshows of photos+videos from iPhone are simply a waste of time because all media files are rotated randomly due to the fact that VLC does not automatically rotate based on video/photo metadata... what a shame. Anyway, also other recent changes to VLC started to be annoying that I'm thinking to switch to other media player, I think the UX has been recently destroyed with newest versions... but that's different story.

First, VLC 2.2.0 will respect EXIF to auto-rotate your movies (it's not called EXIF, but anyway). Then, there has been almost no UX changes in VLC since years, so you really seem dishonest in your comment.

A hotkey would not solve the problem of (not) reading the orientation field from the EXIF meta-data, unless you would press the key (multiple times) for each and every single image...

VLC needs to parse the EXIF orientation field, is all. That is outside the scope of this bug report.

Ok, sorry, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit about UX, apologies - I just don't know to keep playlist floating in different window and on top, and I'm almost sure that was doable before. That's great news on the VLC 2.2.0! Thanks.

Anyway the hotkey would be anyway a good feature to have. And the above is not in scope of this report.

If you have UX issues or regressions, file a bug report.

With 2.2.0, the hotkey shouldn't be necessary.

Ok, shouldn't be, but note that iPhone sometimes writes wrong information about the video rotation and sometimes it's flipped vertically, f.e. when recording is started with phone still in the pocket and when it was not set up for shot yet, that's quite common with my videos ;-) One can edit the video using QT to fix this, but anyway - the hotkey is still a handy feature because of that fact.

Btw. I've just downloaded nightly 2.2.0 and my photos are not rotated correctly (flipped vertically), the MacOS Preview shows it rotated properly.

I use the rotate option for video pretty often and would like to see this added. thanks

+1 for a rotate function.
