🐛 Mirror issue with front camera about react-native-vision-camera HOT 6 OPEN

Mirroring is intentional. This is how VisionCamera works.

For Video files it just isn't really simple - what if you flip camera devices from front to back while recording? Is the video now mirrored or not?

The back camera does not mirror the video, only the front-facing camera does. Typically on stock camera app (on my iphone), the camera preview appears mirrored, but when saving to a file, it is flipped back.
While I can manually flip the video, there is no indicator to determine if the video is mirrored, unlike PhotoFile which has an 'isMirrored' field.

That's not what I said.

A video file cannot have an isMirrored flag because you could switch from back <-> front while recording. One stream is mirrored, one isn't.

So what could you suggest? My usecase is quite simple, only need front camera.

I think I could add a prop like isMirrored that controls mirroring for photos and videos. But this is a bit complex due to orientation, and I don't have the time to add that right now. If you want to sponsor this, I could add it. DM me for details.
