Hello everyone/anyone
I wonder if I can get any help or advice on the following.. When I video horizontally in FB messenger, about 90% of the time my Huawei Nova 2i will upload the video as a vertical video, as if I filmed it vertically, cutting off the sides.... While obviosuly a first world problem, this is SUPER frustrating and I can find no clues anywhere so far as to how to fix it...........
I'm running Android v8, security patch 1st February 2019 and I believe FB messenger is up to date.
thanks if you can

Interesting subject and I don't know the answer but I suspect FB messenger is geared towards vertical video. I hate VV and even though apps like Snapchat relish and promote it, it should be banned from the face of the planet. You are quite right to record vids horizontally (in most cases).
Apart from my hatred of VV when watching on a TV or computer monitor (any device with 16:9 horizontal), most people have not considered the stereo sound when playing back vids on such devices. On your Huawei Nova 2i (and most Android phones including Samsung) you have a microphone at the top and one at the bottom. This gives stereo sound when recording vids. Not much point if one mic is pointing at the sky and the other at your feet.
I blame Apple for this. Most iPhones have the stereo microphones at the bottom about 1" apart. That's not much use either but Snapchat and others started there.
So with your Huawei Nova 2i, keep doing horizontal vids as you watch iPhone uses record mono audio.
I hope you find a solution to your issue.

Well, it looks like the folks at ooVoo have been listening to our feedback about the problems with the ooVoo app. Apparently, they have released a new version of the app and it works just fine....no more sideways image from the front-facing camera on the Tab. I installed the PC app on 2 different laptops and doing video chats between my Tab and the laptops worked great. The video windows at times, showed some pixelation and there was some occasional audio noise. You do have to keep the Tab in a portrait orientation, but that's no issue. Overall, I was pretty pleased with the results. Right now, everything is free so you can't lose.
hi fellow note users.
I found a small bug in the os/touchwiz/s-pen setup.. I bought my note as it actually lets.me create content. And it works for really great so far. I screenshoot, crop and paste away. I took some screenshots of a video playing in Mobo player. Worked great. Was going to take a screenshot of a flash video playing on youtube. No go. Html5 video is a no go for me as well. I tried both im several browsers for youtube and the youtube app. I just get a black screenshot. That is in my book a BIG hole in the hole s-pen feature.
Is there a way to fix this?
Is it just on my note?
Should i tip off samsung about it if its not just on my device?
My guess is that it's more about rights management and licensing than a software bug
I think this is pretty standard behaviour with flash in any OS.
well I would like to know if the camera when set to video mode could somehow be set to never shoot video in the "up and down" look, I only it to show in the normal widescreen mode that is 1920x1080
once the video is started it cant be changed but if you start the video while pointing the camera down it could be started as in the wrong format
the same goes for the normal camera pictures I never want anything other than the format I set it to
are there any known roms that have something like this for the camera app
lastly I should maybe ask if since I have only watched the video/pictures on the phone if it were on a computer could it actually be 1920x1080 video, like the phone shows it sideways and the accelerometer in the phone makes me turn it sideways to watch it without having black lines - but would a computer ignore that and just have normal video?

There is an app called Video Rotate that will turn the video from portrait to landscape. I've used it for a few videos I recorded in portrait and it works flawlessly. Aside from that, you just have to remember that to get the proper viewing on playback and take advantage of this awesome screen and on your PC, you have to record in landscape( Side) and not Portrait( Up).
The computer will see it exactly as it is on your phone. You can rotate the video but if you recorded it in portrait, once you rotate it to landscape it will still have the portrait aspects. I'm pretty sure there is an app to stretch it to fit landscape but then you lose resolution on the video. The only way to get the proper video is to shoot it in landscape
so when its shooting in portrait mode is it actually 1920x1080 just portrait or is it some strange resolution than then when rotated and shown on a 1920x1080 display will be noticeable
I know the iphone video recording in portrait is not the same as landscape just turned portrait - a friend told me his iphone sometimes records like that and he tried to rotate it and it ended up looking like it was altered, not the same as if it was shot in landscape so it was like changed he said

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtI_OfPT7I0- Perfect example of why not to shoot video in portrait mode.
so why is it even still an option to shoot in anything other than landscape
is it to hard to just remove this option from all phones - I cant see a reason why anyone would want to record in portrait mode anyways
attn all developers of roms out there - make this a feature, stop the camera from even being able to record in anything other than landscape

That's easier said than done. It can probably cause more harm than good. It's an option. Both ways work and will play back fine on the phone. It's just an unwritten rule that all video should be shot in landscape for optimal viewing or for uploading/playing back on a PC. However, on your cell phone, sometimes shooting in portrait works because you get to capture more of a field of view from top to bottom as opposed to side to side. Landscape limits your abilities to shoot certain things from top to bottom so that's why you have the option. You just have to be conscious of this when shooting your videos.
Why would you want to record or watch a vertical video that just makes no sense. What's next companies start making vertical TV and PC monitors we can not let this continue to be a trend would you want to spend money to go see a vertical movie in theatres? Ironman 3 in vertical 3D come on think about how dumb that sounds.

Some people like to take vertical video regardless if it's wrong or not. On your phone it looks normal but once you upload it that's when the fun begins. However, you can't stop people from shooting video the way they prefer. I just don't want to hear the complaints afterwards if they they indeed record it vertically and are not happy when they upload it.

My friend was obsessed with recording vertical videos than get mad when they looked like **** on YouTube I'm like of course they going look like **** duh stop recording vertical videos. So I made him turn his Tv to the side and asked him do that look stupid he agreed and never recorded a vertical video again. I'm like this don't buy a smart phone and treat it like a 90s flip phone. Who wants to watch a video with two big ass black bars on the side.

Hi,
How's the text reading experience on the S7 Edge in portrait mode, using apps such as Google Play Books, Kindle or Pocket? I'm afraid of light reflections / glares at the edges (very apparent in stores' artificial lighting) and text distortion when using narrow margins.
I don't have a ton of data to support, but I read for quite a while at my daughters gymnastics place, with horrible bright artificial light with no issues and the edges had no distortion or other noticeable effects to me. (Google Play Books). By the way, the book I just finished was Ready Player One (right in my childhood wheelhouse), can't wait to see Spielberg's take on the movie.
Thanks for you feedback (btw, I have also enjoyed this book). Anyone else who can share their experience?
I just got back from the store where I loaded some previously prepared 1440x2560 screenshots. The ones from Google Play Books and Pocket seemed OK, but on PDFs and mobile websites with little to no padding the glare and distortion were quite prominent, same as in Youtube in landscape mode - so I'm still not convinced

Wow... No one even decided to say that they've used up all the codes (-_-)...
Anyways, I tried your free version on my Nexus 5 and it works pretty well! It does drain the battery a lot more than I thought it would though.
Anything with a 3d environment background is a drain on the phone battery (overheats it too)
I personally use vr players with no background or 3d surroundings. All you need is the video screen.
Hello sir,Expried codes..please share new...
Did you make this with Unity3d?
If so, could you add this https://github.com/m-tukiok/UnityPluginDisplay4k to it, please? Even if you have to make it into a different version of the app.
I'm willing to pay for the pro version and make a donation if you do!
I'd love to have a native 4k VR player for my XZp that doesn't require messing with adb.
VU showing video that is mismatched positionally on right and left eye
hey fam.i am using a tecno camon cx air and i am having an issue in that the video on the right is not exactly the same in positioning/mismatch as the video on the other eye causing some blur and uncomfy viewing experience.what can i do?i am using VU pro latest versionconfused:
check out my twitter @Kay_e_veemusic i will show you a screenshot of my screen, i can't post a link here since i am new..will appreciate your help
It's a shame the codes are expired this deserves five stars for sure! I have a couple of feature requests:
Please add the ability to play network videos! It is essential that I can launch videos to VU Cinema from a file manager (total commander in this case) the same as any other video player. It would also be nice to be able to browse network videos from within the app.
Bluetooth controls need to be refined. Please add the ability to either map the controller or add basic seek and volume controls to the D pad. Sometimes it is easier to tap forward a couple times to relocate my place in a movie than try to navigate the very inaccurate seat bar. The only app I have seen tackle VR controls well (and I've tried them all) is VR Theater by coach games. If you were to merge the graphics from VR Cinema with similar gamepad controls to VR theater it would be the perfect app!!!
Please continue development it's really great! ?
[Just purchased, well worth it]
On one plus 5, After the update 5.0.4 it has stopped working.video screen is blank while pictures can be seen.kindly help on it.
