Currently, VLC displays videos in the wrong orientation when they were taken with a rotated smartphone. This is a big problem because many smartphone users record videos with the phone in a portrait orientation. The rotation EXIF tag exists with the purpose of allowing the video player to display the video in the correct orientation. VLC should read the video's rotation EXIF tag and rotate the video display if it was taken with the phone rotated. The code for rotation already exists within the Transform effect, it just needs to apply it based on the EXIF tag.
