1116469 - Video trailers are playing upside down on imdb.com on the Sony Xperia Z2

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[Catalin Suciu [:csuciu]]

Nightly 37.0a1 (2014-12-30)

Go to www.imdb.com and play a movie trailer while device is in portrait mode 

Result: The video is played upside down

So far, I was able to reproduce this issue only on Sony Xperia Z2 10.1" (Android 4.4.4) while device is in portrait mode.

Only on IMDB? What about other media tests? Inspecting their player should show the reason for this easily.

I can reproduce this on my personal phone (LG G2, similar hardware to Nexus 5).

Comment 4

[James Willcox (:snorp) ([e-mail]) (he/him)]

Pretty sure this is caused by bug 1100699

Comment 5

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

Might be two different bugs here (one specific to IMDB/Xperia) the rest due to a Graphics regression, but I can only reproduce the MP4 video flip on trunk. Catalin, can you re-check why you marked everything affected.

Comment 6

[Catalin Suciu [:csuciu]]

The IMDB issue affects all branches.

The issue reported in bug #1117777 reproduces only on Nightly. Other branches are not affected.

Just saw this on ebaumsworld. Nightly 37, Android 4.4, HTC One m7.

Is this still reproducible with bug 1117777 fixed?

Comment 9

[Catalin Suciu [:csuciu]]

Yes, this is still reproducible on the latest Nightly (2015-01-11) and on all other branches

This is working for me, even specifically on the Sony Z2 tablet. Do you guys have Flash installed? Do you see the normal HTML5 video controls?

Comment 11

[Catalin Suciu [:csuciu]]

I'm still able to reproduce this on Sony Z2 10.1" (4.4.4). The videos are Flash (Flash is installed and there are no HTML5 video controls).

As mentioned in comment #0 this is reproducible only when playing videos in portrait mode.

Comment 12

[James Willcox (:snorp) ([e-mail]) (he/him)]

OK, I can reproduce on the Z2, with Flash, in portrait. This is very strange.

Attachment: Correctly orient Android Flash video surfaces

I am not really sure how this ever worked to begin with, but it's clearly busted now that bug 1100699 landed.

Comment 14

[James Willcox (:snorp) ([e-mail]) (he/him)]

Actually if this really is in all releases, bug 1100699 has nothing to do with it. I would say 1037147 may be at fault.

Comment 15

[Catalin Suciu [:csuciu]]

I've just installed the Nightly from 2014-04-01 and the issue is still there. This is not a recent regression.
