Rotation is broken in VLC 2.2.0.

Postby biffster » 24 Mar 2015 05:03

Go to Tools => Effects and Filters => Video Effects => Geometry and check the Rotate box. When you turn the compass around, you'll see the image cant about 5 degrees and that's it. No (more) rotation. Actually it looks like the compass angle allows the image to be set to 0 to 5 degrees rotation. Just a guess but perhaps this is a degrees vs. radians problem (off by a factor of 180/pi).

The transform checkbox works to rotate the image by 90 degree increments.

Windows 7 SP1 x64

Download the rocket video (3.31mb) from http://pagalworld.io/freshmaza/files/download/id/130461, and follow my original instructions as to checking the "rotate" box. I just tried it on a fresh installation of WIndows 7 SP1 x64 on Vmware, and it reproduced the problem. It did rotate once properly, but then immediately broke as I turned the wheel back and forth and checked and unchecked the box.

Are you --REMOVED BY ADMIN--? I provided that video as part of the instructions to reproduce the problem, since you claimed you couldn't reproduce it, and it may be video format specific (though I doubt it).

If you're not interested in fixing problems when I go the trouble of reporting them, and tell you they reproduce in a fresh VMware install of windows, perhaps you shouldn't be responding to bug reports?

Please do not insult the developers. He played the video you provided and it worked for him just fine. Please provide your logs (from the command line start vlc with the -vvv option) and upload your logs to either the forum or Pastebin.com .
If we can simulate real life so accurately, then isn't our reality maybe just one great big simulation as well?

It seems indeed that it is broken on some setups (I could reproduce it). Please file a proper bugreport, and calm down.

It should be fixed in 3.0.0 and 2.2.1
