            Bug ID: 361829
           Summary: rotated mp4 videos ("Orientation" flag) are not played
                    back in the correct rotation angle
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.14.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Preview
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: jens-bugs.kde.org at spamfreemail.de

I have a lot of videos shot on iPhones or iPads in portrait mode. These are MOV
(or MP4) files which have an "Orientation" metadata flag set. In iPhoto they
are displayed correctly rotated, but in Digikam 4.14 they are not. (I can't
test Digikam 5 because even on my Virtualbox Kubuntu 15.10, Digikam 5beta5
packages by philip5 flatly refuse to preview or show videos at all right now.)

I would wish for Digikam's player (phonon, gstreamer, ...) to correctly respect
the "Orientation" flag in MOV and MP4 files (I don't know about other video
formats) and to display the videos correctly.
If required, please reassign this bug to the correct project if Digikam itself
cannot do anything about this.

Thank you!

Reproducible: Always
