Air 3.0 Android Front Cam upside-down

Dear Adobe Community,
I am working on an app where I grab the video from an android (2.3.3) device, and stream it to a recording video server. My app is written in AS3 with Flash Pro CS5.5, so I first publish that, then use the adt command line to compile using the Air 3.0rc SDK for a runtime bundled version. The rear camera works perfectly fine, meaning, when I hold the phone in landscape mode, video displayed in the video object is right side up, and when I hold the phone in portrait mode, the video on screen also turns, also right side up. When I switch to the front cam, however, the video displays fine on screen in landscape mode (right side up), but when I hold the phone in portrait mode, the video turns upside down. I tried flipping the video object vertically, which fixes the 'right side up' issue for the front cam in portrait mode, but all other positions turn upside down. Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue? I am using the 3.0 SDK release candidate version to compile.
p.s. I have auto-rotate turned off, and position in portrait mode when I compile the apk. I tried swiching to landscape mode, but same result.
Any help or hints are greatly appreciated.
thank you,
Alex

Hi bjsr12345,
That was quite a long time back. Unfortunately, even today, if your target platform is below ICS (Android 4), that rear camera orientation issue is still present. You can adjust so that you flip the video object within your app if it's upside down (say, when you are recording a video and allowing the user to change between front and rear cams mid-stream), but there is no way to change the orientation of the video itself, sans adding some lines of code in a native Android code itself, not through Air. Hope this helps.
Alex

  • IPhone4S Camera Upside Down after 5.0.1 Update

    The 5.0.1 Update was pushed to my iPhone this afternoon.  Naively, I loaded it and rebooted.  Although I appreciate the Camera that made an apprearance on the lock screen, unfortunately, it now displays in reverse orientation.  And, when I take a picture-- it's upside down.  When I turn the camera to shoot, ALL of my pics are upside down.  No matter WHAT direction I hold the camera in--they ALL turn out upside down. This is HORRIBLE.
    Can I get the old OS back, is there a fix (BACK to the way it was), or should I just return to the AT&T store?
    Thank you.

    I finally worked around Apple's problem.  I synced my iPhone 4 phone with another computer.  Lost my apps and music on the phone but still had my music database of almost 3,000 tunes.  I then synced with another computer with the updated iTunes software they just sent out.  Then had to rebuild my apps and music on the phone.  I used Tune-Up plug-in to help with the music with covers and dupes, etc.  It took me till 1 am last night but it's now working and syncing ok. I have about 1,000 tunes on the phone now, with no dupes and 95% of the cover artwork. Without Tune-Up it would take me a week to get the dupes out and covers for all the albums. I think the problems started when Apple tried to send the update directly to the iPhone rather than thru iTunes like they had always done before.  I turned off the cloud and am syncing and backing up with my computer and home sharing is turned off. That method worked very well for the last few years.   It seems like the combination of home sharing, the cloud and 5.0.1 software caused a lot of problems.  Hopefully I have it under control now, or at least until the next software update.  It was a major pita.

  • Blurry image in Android front camera

    Hey All,
    I've been beating myself with this for a while, I need some help.
    I am using the device's front camera. In iOS it's working great. In Android - I get this fuzzy image that shows me the front camera 3 times with black and white stripes (See image).
    Here is my camera / video display related code:
    <s:VideoDisplay id="vid" x="10" y="15"/>
    private function getFrontCamera():Camera
       if (Camera.isSupported == false)
                                                      return null;
                                            var numCameras:int = Camera.names.length;
                                            if (numCameras == 0)
                                                      return null;
                                            if (numCameras == 1)
                                                      return Camera.getCamera("0");
                                            if (numCameras == 2)
                                                      return Camera.getCamera("1");
                                            return Camera.getCamera();
    var LocalVideo:Video = new Video(vid.width, vid.height);
    LocalVideo.attachCamera(cam);
    vid.addChild(LocalVideo);
    Note: This does not happen in Motorola for example, on other Andoird machines - it does.

    I ran into this problem after android update on some samsung devices.  I found that setting gpu render mode to Direct in the application.xml file clears it up, hope it does for you.

  • Firefox Hello with camera upside down (with linux Mint 17)

    Hello, I'm running Firefox 36.0.1 and I tried the new Hello addon. Unfortunately my camera appears upside down. This was the same problem I had using Skype and I had to update libv4l and than worked. Now for Skype it's still working but for Hello the problem is back. (I'm using linux Mint 17)
    Any suggestion?

    Hi,
    I asked in the mozilla irc channel #media and had some help:
    the app_name should just be "firefox"
    /usr/bin/firefox
    However it was noted also that this looks "like a driver/lib issue. So it probably works for any program which accesses the camera (as long as the program hasn’t the libv4l build in)."

  • X1 - Windows 8 - Camera upside down

     Hey guys,
    First time poster. Upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and now the Webcam is upside down. Ive tried:
    Machine is a Lenovo X1.
    - Reinstalled the driver
    - Loading drivers in XP mode
    - Trying diffrent drivers.
    I just cant seem to get the thing to be the right way up. 
    I see that there are a number of people with this issue and it would be great to get it sorted out. When you narrow your driver search on Lenovo's site down to W8 it doesn't have a driver to be able to download.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    [Moderator edit: veiled profanity]

    I had the same issue with a DELL XPS 12 in "almost tablet mode" which is when you flip the screen but  dont lay it flat on the keyboard (not sure what the mode is called).  Its kind like laptop mode but with the screen facing outwards - perfect for watching movies on a plane.
    to fix it on the xps 12 I went into the mode (tent mode for you) and with it upside down open up the Intel HD Graphics option via the Intel Control Center and rotate the display to 180 degrees - I also saved the settings as a profile called "flipped" instead of "normal".  The Intel smarts seem to hold these settings for the flipped mode but revert back to "normal" settings when I return to normal laptop mode. 
    Only issue is that in flipped mode my hard start button is now at the top of the screen even in tablet mode - not too much of an issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • IMac iSight Camera Upside-Down?

    I just got a new iMac C2D 2.4GHz 24" and when I got to the screen where it asks to take a Snapshot to use as my Account Photo the image appeared upside down. I then figured it might work correctly in Photo Booth but it appears that it does not. When I open Photo Booth it shows my picture upside down.
    I downloaded iGlasses to see if rotating it would fix the problem and it does, but I'd rather not have to set that up and pay 10$ to correct something that shouldn't even be happening.
    Is there anything that I can do? Is there a setting I could change?

    Hi SkawtS
    Sound like the iSight may have been installed upside down at the factory???
    I would take it or send it back for a replacement right away... here's the link to [Contact Apple Support|http://www.apple.com/support/contact>

  • Duplex Printing, front on back and upside down...

    Dear Bob,
    I have a problem with a LaserJet CM2320 MFP fxi, running Windows XP SP3.
    When printing a single page it is ok.
    When printing a (word)-file with e.g. 4 pages, the first page is printed on the backside and the second page on the front, and both are also upside down... Putting the paper the other way around in the printer doesn't solve the problem, because the single-page-print will be messed-up...
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Kind regards,
