2. Click the video stream on the card
3. Set upt "camera strem orientation" to "rotate righ"
4. Click "Update"

Is there any workarounds now?

Not that I know of :-(

[TixoRebel]

Problem still exists in 2024.12.2

[iglooom]

Was it fixed in 2024.12.3 ? Mine is working okay now.

[TrasteCC]

Updated to 2024.12.4. Issue still persists for me

If i changed the preload setting at the same time (i enabled it) the orientation setting seem to persist (for now...)

Not working for me 😭

[margorjon]

If you disable it first, then enable it again together with the orientation setting, does that work? I tried this after updating to 12.4

Kind of. I only works when I press the play button and the window pops up. But it does not rotate when I first access the tab (target behavior).

Thanks, though

[margorjon]

Yeah, same as for me, and it rotated correctly in my picture glance card which was the goal for me. But clearly there seems to be some sort of bug here. Edit: Now after a restart, i can't seem to get it to work again...

[TrasteCC]

Anybody can take a look at this please? Some others users experiencing this behavior: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/help-camera-rotation-stopped-working/793325/5

This unfortunately didn't work for me

Yeah, I've encountered times when it does not work to.

If I do som repeat reloads and disable+enable efter what I've done what i did above with the setting, then it usually starts to work eventually. But it resets after every reboot of the os.

[TrasteCC]

Still not working in 2025.1.3

Anyone got it working?

Thanks!

[TrasteCC]

FINALLLY FIXED with OS 14.2 and Supervisor 2025.1.4.

The described issue only happens if you use a WebRTC stream, which has been available and has been the preferred stream since 2023.11+. I will look into it in the next days.

Hi! Any news about this? sorry, no pressure, just curious :-) Thanks!

[edenhaus]

I'm working on it; it's not so easy to solve without transcoding it. Currently looking around for a good solution If possible, the easiest solution is to change the orientation directly on the camera and disable it on HA for now.

Thanks for the update! I'll wait for the fix, since my Reolink camera does not offer a 90 degree rotation feature (it sucks!).
