video landscape mode

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi

I’m making game. I want to play video between game levels. Game is played in landscape mode.

Question: how to prevent orientation changing during playing the video. When I set available orientation modes in configuration file it works only for graphics. When I play video and change device orientation to portrait, video also goes to portrait mode.

Thanks for any help

Hi.

It’s me again. I know I’m annoying but anyone has problem with video orientation?

I was looking for setting in build.properties for info.plist. I used:

iphone =
{
plist=
{
UIStatusBarHidden=true,
UISupportedInterfaceOrientations = {
“UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft”,
“UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight”
}

},
},

Nothing helped. When I turn device into portrait mode video player also chenge its orientation to portrait. Please help me.

Hi Marcin,

I’m having the same problem. I added the same to my build.settings and added a config.lua file with the following but neither prevented the video from playing in portrait mode.

application =
{
content =
{
width = 320,
height = 480,
scale = “letterbox”,
audioPlayFrequency = 22050
},
}

Somebody help us!!!

I have this for my game and it works perfect:

settings =
{
orientation =
{
default =“landscapeRight”,
},

iphone =
{
plist =
{
UIStatusBarHidden = true,
UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = true,
UIAppFonts =
{
“Harrowprint.ttf”
},
},
},

} [import]uid: 11809 topic_id: 6183 reply_id: 25827[/import]

well, lucky you.

I copied you code to my build.settings file and when I switch from landscape to portrait video also rotates. It doesn’t work.

@elisabeth: I added to features request orientation lock for video. Maybe they’ll find it intresting and they’ll add it to next version.

Hi Marcin,

Thanks for adding ‘orientation lock’ for video as a features request.

It will definitely up the quality of Corona games.
