Auto-rotation based on metadata not working

[dez691]

Hey all,

I have a video with the metadata property "rotate=90" that is not getting auto-rotated by VLC.

I know the video has this metadata because I added it myself with ffmpeg, using this command: "ffmpeg -i $INPUTVIDEO -metadata:s:v rotate="90" -codec copy $OUTPUTVIDEO"
I have verified the file in VLC, and the metadata is present. Playing the file in a Google Chrome window works fine, and the video is rotated.

Is this a bug? I researched before posting this, and it sounds like VLC should support auto-rotation based on metadata

Thanks
