Video Orientation on iOS

Audio and Graphics
#1

Hi.

Is it actually possible to set the video orientation when you play it, besides setting it up from the build.setting ?

i have been trying to create a multi-app that launches an introductory video before launching the app, but i got some problems while the video is playing. 

I have set the orientation to (‘landscapeLeft’, ‘landscapeRight’), and it works for other iOS devices, but it only get problematic on iPhone/iPod  4 devices below, it still able to play the video in portrait mode.

has anyone been able to find a workaround?

no one?

There are 2 calls for playing video. what di you refere to?

#4

the media.playVideo

media.playVideo( "your video here", false)
#5

Then answer is no. This function calls native player so not good for your purpouse. Check native.newVideo()

Remember that Corona is constanly getting better. A lot of things (not all due to platform specification) can be outdated or solved :slight_smile:
