Video Capture Mirroring about streampack HOT 8 CLOSED

@ThibaultBee Just wanted to bump this to see if you had any thoughts

Hi,
Sorry I was off for last couple of weeks.

Why are you trying to mirror the camera?
What surface (preview or stream)?
Is there something wrong with how StreamPack handles the orientation? I have seen a fork where someone try to mirror the video. 🤔 Is this related with #73?

We found this only happens with the front camera. Our end goal is to have the preview surface stay as-is but the stream be mirrored. Reason being is that our use case is more users using the front camera to record themselves do an activity. When watching your self, the way the surface is as of now is what we would expect to see. But, as a viewer of the stream it feels wrong.

This screenshot is a great example. As a streamer, you would expect the screen to not be readable. But, as a viewer you would expect to see it correct as if you were looking at it, in this case mirrored.

What version are you using?
I am pretty confident it won't fix your issue but I made few changes on the main branch in March which haven't been released yet.
And in the master branch, the issue might be in the OrientationProvider or the CodecSurface of the VideoMediaCodecEncoder.

Finally, IMO it is a bug! 🐛

@ThibaultBee Thanks for the info - I will likely not be able to dig back into until late next week. Will keep you posted on what I can find.

Hi,

I started to work on this. See PR #85

Unfortunately, I am not satisfied by the result yet because the during the transition from back to front camera (or front to back), there is a small amount of time were the mirror is applied on the wrong frame.
I would like to mirror only at the exact frame.

Ok, it seems better.
Could you test #85?

Released in 2.6.0.
Please reopen the issue if it is not fixed.
