Error during device orientation

Wowza GoCoder SDK
1

Hi.

I have a problem during device orientation.

I use GoCoder SDK in a fragment loaded by an Activity.

I can start the app in portrait mode but the fragment that use the SDK is locked in landscape mode.

If I change the device’s orientation when I click the button that start the fragment I get this error:

If I click the button in portrait mode and wait the fragment is fully loaded I have no problem.

Same if I click the button with device in landscape mode.

There is a way to intercept the orientation changing during the fragment’s loading?

Thanks in advance

By default @DarthXander, the live stream will maintain the orientation of the device when the broadcast began. However, there are some settings you can adjust and I will direct you to that documentation.

https://www.wowza.com/docs/wowza-gocoder-sdk-faq#does-the-sdk-support-switching-between-portrait-and-landscape-orientation-while-streaming-

You can adjust some settings to reflect the following: same as device, always landscape, always portrait.

I think to have resolved the problem (but I must do some testing) placing this code in the onDestroy and onBackPressed methods of my fragment.

try {
    goCoderCameraView.stopPreview();
    goCoderCameraView.clearView();
}

catch (Exception e) {}

goCoderCameraView is the WOWZCameraView object that I use in my fragment.

It’s like something remains active in the view after the endBroadcast called in the WOWZBroadcast Object.
