As a channel developer, can I ask the
Video Scene Graph node to rotate the video it's currently playing? For example, to turn a portrait video to landscape mode, and vice versa?
The
Poster node does allow for rotation and scaling, but the
node doesn't seem to have equivalent functionalities that can be used via the SDK. I did try replicating the rotation code that is working for me with images on
Posters (using the
rotation field), but the
Video node simply disappears from the screen, and no error is signaled (I am debugging via Telnet on port 8085.)
My guess is that rotating multiple frames per second on a streaming video could be taxing for Roku devices. Unfortunately, in my case, video transcoding or other transformations are not possible.
