I am aware that the recomend procedure would be to create a new thread, but I do think it's pertinent to resume with a follow up question in regards to video orientation:

I'm using a Raspberry pi5, reproducing horizontal (1920x1080p) video/images on a 40inch TV rotated clockwise (vertical)

I've tried many things, including editing the config.txt but to no avail achieving the video orientation that I was looking for (vertical)

The only way that I can 'put' my horizontal videos to play in vertical/portrait mode is when I change the video settings individually - through editing the orientation flag from "from metadata" to "90°". It stays that way (vertical) until I reboot the system and it definitely doesn't stay that way on future new videos - meaning that for new videos I would have to manually change video orientation flag for each one.

Thing is: I want to enforce the vertical mode to all videos, including future new ones, since my TV is already rotated.

So far I've been using a script I created using ffmpeg to automatically rotate my videos before uploading them into my Raspberry, but obviously I would really prefer to rely on Kodi mediaplayer settings to default orientation to vertical.

Has anyone found a way to do? To preset Kodi Mediaplayer orientation to "90°" instead of the default "from metadata"?

Perhaps changing the default output resolution of my RPi to 1080x1920?

Thank you in advance.

Tldr: I'm looking for a way to change default Kodi mediaplayer orientation flag from "from metadata" to, for example, "90°" without having to change those settings manually and individually for each video.

Dear community,

I'm trying to find a way to increment a auto-rotate feature.

It just so happens that i have a vertical screen and for it to correctly display a horizontal imagem i have to manually rotate the image prior sending it to my computer running besides the TV.

Most of the times, its a short video clip running and for that matter (and also to speed things up a bit) I've created a script using ffmpeg that auto rotates the movie by 90º counterclockwise.

But hey, rapaz, you can manually rotate the video using your keyboard inside Kodi it self. True, but it only stays that way until i run another video or restart the system.

So, in other words what I'm searching for is a way to change my system config in order to always have a (horizontal) movie clip or image vertically rotated by the system it self (Kodi) without having me to always rotate each one of them before sending it to the machine.

Is it possible?

Thank you for your attention.
