Help: camera rotation stopped working

MarceCastro · November 11, 2024, 11:12am

Hi,

This is my setup:

My camera feed used to be rotated to the right. But, the “Camera stream rotation” option stopped working a couple days ago (no upgrade/update).

If I select the “roration right” option and press “update”, the camera rotates but it goes back to “not rotated” after a second.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I have the same issue now. It started after I upgraded to HA 2024.11. Could it be related to the new “speedy cameras” WebRTC feature?

Thanks for the info. I’ve been taking a look at that feature, but I can’t find a connection. I might open a ticket in GitHub.

I’m also having the same issue. When I updated from 2024.10.4 to 2024.11.2

Let’s hope someone from the HA team sees this:

Mine just got fixed with 2024.11.2

MarceCastro · November 25, 2024, 12:54pm

Problem is back with 2024.11.3

HA_Newbie_101 · November 30, 2024, 4:44pm

Same problem here…

HA Green
Core 2024.11.3
Supervisor 2024.11.4
Operating System 13.2
Frontend 20241106.2

I rotate one (of a number) of cameras in the configuration to correct the view because the camera itself is physically rotated. When I open/refresh HA the view usually opens as desired (portrait) but very quickly falls back to the landscape view. I only noticed/tried setting up the rotation in the last few days so can’t say if it worked and then stopped working at some time.

Using ONVIF integration but this ‘feels’ like a frontend issue (3rd party software has no issue rotating image)…
Happens on Laptop Tablet and Phone…

I am loving the reduced video delay from the recent webRTC upgrade! Anecdotally I reckon it is less than half a second behind live events.

Additional information I discovered…
On my Android phone when I click on the relevant image on the home page (defaulting to landscape and not rotating as set/desired) it opens in the popup window and shows a correctly rotated portrait image that can work for extended periods - sometimes minutes, sometimes seconds and sometimes not at all.

On a linux laptop trying to open the popup in Firefox and Chromium it can appear correctly for a few seconds but quickly reverts to landscape.

MarceCastro · December 3, 2024, 10:48am

In my case, when I click on the stream window, it just keeps the rotation for less than a second
