Moonlight streaming does not respect display horientation on Raspberry pi

Hi, I am using a Raspberry pi with the screen rotated, and while the game selection menu appears correctly, the streaming does not.

In Moonlight embedded there is an option to rotate the streaming, perhaps we could have something similar in Moonlight-qt?

Thank you!

the screen reports back, that it is defaulting to 10:16, moonlight seems to ignore the rotated display and flips it

Does this work now if you use the HEVC codec?

I'm having a similar issue on KDE with. It's a chuwi hi10x, by default it as a portrait resolution. when it's docked, by default it's rotated. moonlight-qt does not obey auto rotate either.

if it helps, I have set the panel_orientation flag, but well, linux will be linux, and it seems like weston is the only wayland DE that obeys that. but moonlight-qt does work properly there. is it possible that QT is only looking for the default orientation of the compositor?

I believe my issue to be an upstream sdl issue, I just modified mpv's sdl example to add fullscreen and it exhibits the exact same behaviour. filled a report here https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/7439
