When allowing users to upload videos to Stream, we have no way to know whether a video was filmed in portrait or landscape mode.
Does Cloudflare process this data on the backend to render the video in the player correctly, or is the automatic orientation a native behavior of the <video> element in browsers?
Can the API be extended to provide basic EXIF data such as the orientation that the video was recorded in?
Okay, today I realized that Cloudflare definitely does process EXIF data correctly on the backend, because it’s able to place the watermark in the correct orientation when requested.
This might go from a feature request to a bug report, since the dimensions reported on the result.input object are incorrect (width and height should be swapped when the video is uploaded in a 90 or 270 degree orientation.)
Hi there, we are aware of this bug report. We’ll update the community once we’ve addressed the issue.
We’re still working on fixing this.
This is now fixed @weaver. Thanks again for the report. result.input{height, width} now matches the actual video output for all new video uploads if the rotation is provided with EXIF metadata.
