Playing video filmed by Huawei Honor 8x phone using VLC 3.0.8 Win64 i can not rotate it and it stays "one the side"

Codecs and format: sadly VLC does not know how to copy it textually - [url]http://imgur.com/a/jais4Ji[/url]

When starting video playback:

Code: Select all

When pressing STOP button one more line is logged: directdraw error: SetThumbNailClip failed: 0x800706f4

When trying to engage rotation the following is logged: [url]http://pastebin.com/fwmpBmfW[/url]

The most intriguiing to me seems

Code: Select all

main debug: no video converter modules matched

p2p-enabled VLC 2 fork is rotating video OK, when asked to do so. Plays non-rotated by default.

VLC for Windows Store does auto-detect rotation and rotates it.

VLC Win64 then "half-rotates" it: it rotates the outpur viewport, does not rotate the video, then tries to squeeze non-conforming non-rotated video into rotated viewport.

After comparing VLC 3 and VLC 2 settings....

If to unpin DirectDraw output it seems to start working in VLC 3.0.8 too.
So, something is broken with DirectDraw output???

Maybe this thread better moved to Windows-specific section (did not know it when starting it)

Is it better if you turn hardware decoding off ?

Nope, when i uncheck one or both DirectDraw hardware checkboxes (in simple mode, did not try advanced mode, maybe there would had been more handles), stop video and start it again - it still shows the same distortion and inability to rotate. But, this made me find GUI inconsistency...
