Preview/Streaming is rotated upside down on Nexus 6P

[mmaschenko]

I have found that specifically on Nexus 6P camera is rotated upside down for some reason.

• In portrait or landscape?
• Front or back camera?
• Which view are you using? SurfaceView, TextureView, LightOpenGlView or OpenGlView?

OpenGlView, front and back camera, portrait/landscape, livestream/preview

If this is only with nexus 6P you can do it in onCreate method:

if (is6p) {
    openGlView.setCameraFlip(false, true);
}

I would like to add that with the Nexus 5X we experience the same behavior. As far as I have been able to tell, this is in the preview only, using a SurfaceView. This is with version 1.5.1.

Try use openglview with camera1 and camera2 and use setCameraFlip. Other way could be change rotate in prepareVideo method only with nexus 5x and with camera2.

I had a nexus 5x years ago and I know that camera is rotated for some reason(I think this is a hardware problem). Unfortunately I haven't this device anymore so I can't find a valid solution to work with all devices (Maybe it is not possible with surfaceview).
If the problem persist the only way is develop a method to rotate only preview with openglview and lightopenglview.

Thanks for the quick reply. I followed your advice and changed my standard SurfaceView to the OpenGLView. I then check for the model type and apply the vertical flip if necessary. Am I correct in that this is necessary? Or should it work out of the box with the OpenGLView? As a note, I am using RtmpCamera1 for compatibility reasons.

Also, I don't know how much the emulator differs. But I use a 5X image in the emulator and the preview there is fine. So probably hardware issue?
