seems like it should be simple enough but cant find a way to watch a video in portrait mode. I tried the stock movie and video player and mobo player and both of them automatically go into landscape mode when i play a video and no way to go to portrait.
*I'm watching a video shot on a cell phone in portrait mode (narrow and tall) and it only uses about a 1/4 of the screen when in landscape instead of full screen portrait which is how i want to
some players support it some dont. just make sure auto rotate is on...
all you can do...

I'm using ADW Ex and I can watch videos how ever I want to with auto rotate.
Also, you can change it in your browser's settings.

Possible with some players, and not with others (like the Samsung stock video player).

Shot some video over the weekend for the first time with the O2X. Was shocked to find that the recorded footage did not auto-rotate when transferred to my PC and played back, Am I missing something?
If not is there a way to rotate the footage and keep the 'quality' as I've converted to AVI and then rotated in Windows movie maker and the quality is pretty crap even on DV-AVI
You are missing that video are not the same as pictures and does not have features to "rotate"
Video are defined in specifik formats - you do not have a viewing option for landscape or portrait like you do for pictures. Video are allways in specific landscape dimensions, like 1280x720 pixels or 640x480 etc. and allways played back in landscape format.
So video should allways only be recorded holding the phone in landscape mode, never in portrait mode.
So I noticed, just like OP. But is there any way to rotate the video without quality loss?

no thats not possible
rotating a video means reencoding and cropping to a correct videoresolution
Ah, yes... It figures when you need to crop... Thanks for the info.

Hi guys,
I have this problem with videos I record on Note. The videos are rotated 90 degrees when i play them on my PC. Any media player its the same case. I'm on Windows 7. The video plays properly on the phone though. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Make sure you record the videos in this position either the portrait mode holding in a manner that the home button side is towards the ground and in the landscape mode holding in a manner that the volume keys face the ground.
hmm.. thanks.. ill try that.. that could be the reason i guess..

This doesn't work. My video still plays sideways when recorded in portrait mode with the home button at the bottom. Any other ideas/solutions?
You should not record videos in portrait mode. Always use landscape orientation. Otherwise the videos won't play correctly on pc. If you have got movies that you recorded in portrait mode you need a software to change the orientation of video in order to play it correctly.

Would you recommend a particular software to change the orientation of the videos, our even better, an app?

Windows Live Movie Maker can do it. Just load the video there and from the effects, apply the rotate by 90* (degree) effect then save the new video. There might be an easier solution, but that's the best I could do with some videos I had before.
Is it possible to make a video call (tango, skype, etc) and stream from the camera on your wrist ?
I would think it's possible, but would a bit awkward with current position of the camera. Gear2 might have a camera on the face.
You can. Requires Bluetooth tethering. Skype smashes the battery and doesn't behave particularly well. The problem with camera apps not designed for gear is that the default screen is turned 90degrees. Native Gear apps have this accounted for

Wonder if the Xposed module App Settings will display the camera correctly in portrait if you force the app to always portrait mode.... ? Seems to do the trick for other apps that default to lanscape mode. i.e. Netflix, games , etc...

I haven't tried. Would assume it would just stay at 90' to the natural direction of the app

Yeah, it may just work. Netflix for example, launches in portrait mode, then when you start playing a movie the screen rotates 90' to landscape. When you use App Settings and force portrait mode, it keeps the screen from rotating when you start playing a movie and displays it the correct way.

Ah.. that's a bummer then.
Would the battery last 2 hours of continuous streaming, without burning your wrist?
I made a Skype call on my watch. i needed the Bluetooth tethering of course. The other person could see everything my camera saw on the watch and also could hear the audio.
Yep. I did a Google Video Hangout the other day at Disneyland while on the roller coaster. They saw the whole thing and were mighty impressed with the video quality.
Is there a way to make video fit to screen with no black bars on each side when on full screen or landscape mode. My phone is currently rooted as well. Thanks

You may want to reword the thread as a question. It seems more like a statement that you have already figured this out. Just a thought.
I don't know if this works as i don't have recieved the phone yet, but try to copy the youtube link and paste it here.
stretch.site
It has sliders that let you chose your own aspect ratio. Maybe you can reach fullscreen in that way?
i think the only way you can do it is to root, install xposed, and make changes with per app settings. that should work i think
I currently download the youtube video with TubeMate, then open the clip with MX Player Pro or KMPlayer. In MX Player Pro it's possible to enable pintch to zoom, so you can over-zoom until there are no black bars visible. KMPlayer allows to zoom in a bit, which for some youtube videos is sufficient to remove all black bars, but not for the youtube videos that have black bars encoded in the video already.
Anyone successfully changed the Youtube DPI with an xposed DPI changer, to allow overzoom?
Because the aspect ratio is different, it won't happen natively. Like the other poster suggested, you need to zoom in the screen to chop off the top/bottom of the video.
just bumping this thread. Has anyone come up with a solution for per app? would love to be able to pinch-zoom native in the app.
Some apps like Netflix scale pretty damn well, most shows will take full advantage of the screen and movies will zoom to fit the width (leaving very narrow black bars), whereas youtube and iplayer leave these little black edges left and right... is a shame.
I just tried the latest guardians of the galaxy trailer and it played in full screen, i was trying to so what size that video is. Maybe new videos on YouTube are going to start being played in different ratios since the new up coming phones are 18.9
You can do it without root on every video on Youtube !
Just activate the "Magnification gesture" setting and then triple tap whenever you want to "zoom in" a Youtube video,it will still crop a little part of the video to make it full screen if the ratio is not the same though.

Native app feature from Youtube app version 12.44.54. Updated today and works fine.

Somthing I noticed a few times on my Note 9 was that some times my media files would play very dark. Now this would only happen with 10 bit Hevc files.
So I did some trouble shooting and found that whenever I start and exit the camera in "Photo" mode this would happen.
I have put a pic for a 10 bit hevc video paused on the phone, in both instances all settings are the same, the pic titled "No Black Crush" is before using the camera and the other after using the camera and exiting in Photo mode. From the pic we can see that one pic is significantly darker and details are lost (eg. White spots on the sign and some background stuff).
The only way to fix the black crush is to restart the device.
Would really appreciate if some one out there that is using an Exynos version and plays 10bit hevc videos on the phone would help in testing some stuff out.
Edit - Ok so I guess some more info is in order.
Device info - Note 9 Exynos (Model SM-N960F) on latest official build and NON ROOTED
To replicate issue download the video in the link (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QR-5JEWNOFI3nbvbLR_80Z7BgA37Dil_)
1. Restart phone
2. Play the video using stock video player (keeping Video Enhancer on makes noticing the bug easier as screen is brighter, Video Enhancer off should also work)
3. Open stock camera and make sure "Photo" mode is selected and then exit staying in "Photo" mode (switching camera modes wont let the bug show up.)
4. Play the clip again. BOOM everything is a dark mess.
5. Restart phone and play the clip again and everything looks clear again

does changing the the screen mode from adaptive display to amoled cinema or even basic help at all?
if you get inconsistent results then it would seem that is would have something to do with the "auto" nature of the display mode. moreover the ambient lighting in the room you are watching might also be a cause. adaptive brightness might produce different results and might be tied the the screen mode as described above.
so remove auto brightness and put screen mode to Amoled cinema or even basic if you really want to compare apples with apples.

Since I have been seeing this behaviour for some time now I have actually checked to see what was triggering it. Changing the screen mode does not help. Also in the pic I attached the brightness level is the same since adaptive brightness is off.
Now I understand where you are coming from but this is not a screen illumination issue. If I play a H264 file everything works fine no black crush even HEVC files which are not 10bit play correctly, the issue is only with 10bit HEVC files.
Oh and am not sure if you are aware as to what "black crush" is, it basically is the tendency of amoled panels to make dark areas so dark that u loose details in the video. In the pic I uploaded u can clearly see that one pic is significantly darker than the other even though all settings are kept exactly the same even the brightness levels are the same but dark areas appear much too dark when the bug is triggered.

so i forgot before leaving for home to do the test while having access to an other phone taking a picture of both scenarios so that i could analyze both pictures. but by testing it right now doesn't seem to make any difference.( picture seems ok.) but i am using a custom rom and kernel and system is heavily modded so who knows that might have had an impact. also when you do switch from camera to video, do you remove the camera app from memory( remove it from recents? i left it and no change)
for what's it worth im on a july build...
ill try again tomorrow this time taking before and after pictures

Ahh so I should have mentioned. Am on July official build, non rooted (still have 2 months on the warranty). I guess rooting and a modified system would have an impact on the issue but thanks for testing out. Out of curiosity what is your setup? Which custom rom and kernel are u using and what extra addons if any.
