Also I remember @chrisbaume a while back mentioned using mediainfo lib github.com/buzz/mediainfo.js(demo mediainfo.js.org) and that seems to return a rotation attribute 😮

Hi @pietrop

Running a test locally with a phone recording does suggest we aren’t using the rotation metadata which confirms your results.

Looking back at previous issues - https://github.com/bbc/VideoContext/issues/155 - the challenge is that we don’t have access to the rotation metadata within JavaScript.

I’d certainly welcome a pull request/contribution if you find a sensible approach or workaround that we can document. Otherwise, this is something I’ll note as TODO.
