SMPlayer Support Forum

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (64-bit) on an AMD FX-60 (dual core 2.6 GHz). It is pretty slow by today's standards, and it took some time to find a video player which wouldn't sputter. I tested about 6 players and only SMPlayer played my 1080P H.264 iphone videos well on this system. I have SMPlayer version 21.1.0 (revision 9475) installed.

I noticed that there is a +-90 deg. rotation feature, but not a 180 deg. feature. Would you be willing to add a 180 deg. feature? Unfortunately, the iphone rotational information which gets saved to the .mov video file is not always correct. So while it can be tempting to use other software which auto rotates the videos based on the saved rotational information, even that software will get it wrong if iPhone saves it wrong.

Much appreciated.

Isn't that the same as enabling the options "flip image" and "mirror image"?

That error comes from mplayer. Do you have the same problem if you use mpv as multimedia engine instead of mplayer? (preferences -> general)

Although using the mpv engine doesn't cause a crash with hflip and vflip, the image becomes heavily distorted when used [in SMPlayer], to the point that it is not watchable. I have mpv v0.30 installed.

Are you willing to implement a single action vflip/hflip and/or a transpose=1,transpose=1 feature? There have been two other users on this forum who have requested it in the past.

Added that option in svn 9494.

Great, thank you. I'll keep an eye out for the Debian/Ubuntu package.

When a new version is released but I don't know when that will be.
