Database Develop

Need Dev Assistance to rotate video from camera 90 degrees.

Hey Folks - I could use some help here I am stumped.
I am working on a project to launch one of my model rockets and stream the launch video live via USTREAM (using an LG Revolution modified to be onboard). The issue is USTREAM sets the camera to landscape mode so the phone needs to be held in the landscape position for the video feed to be oriented properly for viewing. The problem is I need the phone to be oriented in the PORTRAIT position due to size limitations of the rocket itself.
USTREAM does not offer the ability to rotate the video stream.... so I was wondering if anyone (dev?) can write a middleware app that will force the camera output to be rotated 90 degrees before the application layer receives the stream? Is that even possible?

FYI: I have tried rotating the camera physically but the connector ribbon is too short and doesn't afford the flexibility for such a move. Creating an "extension" cable is also not in cards since the plugs are nano-sized surface mount.
Thanks in advance...

I have no idea how to do that but please let us know about the launch. Awesome project!

This really does not belong in Development so I have gone ahead and moved it. The project does sounds interesting and I wish you good luck.

Launched the rocket and As-droid-naut this past weekend (minus the LG) - here is the thread I started in the General area if you want to see what I'm up to:

Dashcam
Did you find a solution?
I have tested a lot of dashcam-apps (f.i. 640x480) and the phone in mounted in portrait, the video is only in portrait (480x640). On the pc i have to transform it 90 degrees.

Camera gets its positioning from the accelerometer. Need to somehow fool the camera into thinking it is vertical all the time.

Thanks for the quick response.
That is not the problem. (It is easy, to rotate the video later (and maybe crop) on the pc.
My phone camera has 8 MP CMOS (Landscape 3264x2448 or Portrait 2448x3264)
I need only the upper 720x480 (or better of the 2448x3264) and not 480x720.
The lower part of the video is waste. (only the dashboard, what is not very interesting)
(If I rotate my phone 90°, i see only the dashboard and a little bit of heaven, but no street.)
A higher mounting of the phone holder is not possible.
The best solution is a dashcam-app with a possibility of selecting a video area. Why is it so difficult to program?

My Quark keeps it's settings just fine, as does my wife's. What you are talking about it seems is it's not keeping your 4:3 or 16:9 settings. That is what determines whether it's higher megapixels or lower, for both the front and rear cameras.
Let's just talk about the rear camera for now, since the issue is identical.
16:9 will be 15.5MP. Only 4:3 (which is NOT widescreen) will give you the "21MP" setting for the rear camera.

Are you perhaps changing that ratio yourself and not realizing that are also changes 21MP back to 15.5MP?
Forget megapixels for a minute. Do you WANT 4:3 (standard) pictures or 16:9 (widescreen)? Nowadays, widescreen is generally preferred.
I SUSPECT you are changing to 21MP -- then you see the picture ratio is set for 4:3 and so you then change THAT to 16:9 -- not realizing YOU are now actually changing the 21MP back to 15.5MP... The settings are directly related, and I think you are changing them, not realizing that.
In the Moto G4 camera APK I am using on my Quark, that setting is "combined" so it's obvious it's related.
In the Quark native camera settings (screenshot below), I'm not sure it's explicitly stated. It is stated in the user manual and on the Motorola/Verizon support page (from which I took the screenshot at top).

Best Camera Features of the Honor Play

Best Camera Features of the Honor Play​
The Honor Play's camera is way better than other shooters in the same price range. Try these features to get the most out of your Honor Play camera.
1. Aperture Mode
The trick to creating a great wide aperture effect is having a phone with a great camera and software that can accurately differentiate background object from foreground objects. The AI NPU chipset makes all the difference in this area. The phone's ability to identify different objects and and use the dual-cameras to recognize depth, means the Honor Play can create extremely effective aperture mode effects. Get creative with this mode and see what kind of shots your can get.

}
2. Portrait
Portrait mode is done extremely well on this phone. If it's your first time using portrait mode, know that it's basically your phone detecting the outline of your head/body and blurring the background. The quality of this popular effect comes down to your phone being able to accurately trace your face and remove it from the backdrop.
The Honor Play's large 16MP selfie camera lets you take really detailed selfies that look amazing. Try out the portrait mode with your selfie camera and you're going to be really impressed with the results.
3. AI Mode
AI mode was the main feature advertised in this phone. Toggle it on and try it out. It can really bring out the color in some of your shots. If you don't like the way the effect looks, you can toggle it off afterwards in your galley. I have this feature toggled on at all times, since there's really no reason not to. Your original image is always preserved without the AI, so you can get rid of it later on.
4. Video Format (H.265) (H.264)
You can choose the format in which your videos are encoded. You have the option of H.265 or H.264. The H.265 option will give you a more compressed video resulting in a smaller file size. The H.264 option is a less compressed format and will have slightly higher quality video.
Go to Video > Settings > Video Size > Format. to access this option.
5. Edit Your Camera Menu
With all the different camera modes built into the default camera app, it's nice to be able to customize which modes your have quick access to.
From your camera app, go to More > Edit then you can rearrange all of your different camera modes.

WhatsApp's camera issue

When I'm using WhatsApp's camera, it takes the 2nd camera by default, however after take the photo it shows me the photo taken by the principal camera. I would like that WhatsApp take the principal camera instead of 2nd by default. Any idea how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advanced

I suppose you are in android pie?
If so it's a known bug and I think xiaomi is the only one able to correct that
Someone reported in latest miui beta it was fixed, I tried but it wasn't ?️

No that specific bug is actually fixed in beta 9.1.24, at least in china sources / xiaomi.eu.
Both Whatsapp camera preview and resulting picture is the same as miui camera.
maybe not in global beta 9.1.24 ?

Not fixed for me. I'm on xiaomi.eu 9.1.24

Then clear app data and reinstall?
Afaik when that bug was active whatsapp preview looked like 2x zoom in miui cam and its currently far less than that

I'm on a fresh install of 9.1.24. just installed WhatsApp. It's still zoomed in. Also have blue or red tint.
Just reinstalled. First picture is MIUI Camera, second WhatsApp Camera http://imgur.com/a/zx8hHJq

Thats odd because the whatsapp bug was about the camera PREVIEW being zoomed in.
The resulting pictures were always fine
*edit*
Ok now I see what you mean, that's a different or new issue though.
Both preview and resulting whatsapp picture are slightly zoomed in. Like 1.2-1.3 zoom in MIUI camera.
During the known MIUI bug in 9.1.17 and earlier whatsapp camera preview was at 2.0 zoom.

So who's fault? Whatsapp? Xiaomi or both?

Create beautiful panormas?

So, I have the Mi9TPro with LineageOS and the ANX Camera.
I tried to make some panorama shots, but despite me holding the phone very stable and having good light conditions, the panormas still end up pretty choppy.
Are there any settings I can fine tune or different apps I can use?
The phone has a good camera, so I am sure it must be possible to make some decent panoramas too?

This is panorama shot from factory ROM and factory camera app:

My panorama shots dont even looks closely as good as this one. They are all choppy and distorted on the parts where the frames are connected.
I am using AnxCamera 158.

Can I ask, why did you install custom ROM? Is it much better then factory? I'm using factory ROM with NOVA Launcher.

I have done a few panorama pictures with the standard photo app and some Photo Sphere using a recent gcam by Urnyx05. The phone is running the latest xiaomi.eu beta. I always use a tripod for panoramas (and for night shots).
I am uploading them there https://yadi.sk/d/nZsnB5lPtvsMkw
Some are acceptable (as long as you like the distorted tripod on them), some not (where there are power lines that are cut in the sky). I guess that the sensor was not aligned with the vertical tripod axis.
Try to watch the photo sphere pictures on your phone. It follows the rotation of your phone.
