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:
2019-10-08 17:38:19.655 4148-4148/it.tim.videolive.pslte E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: it.tim.videolive.pslte, PID: 4148 java.lang.RuntimeException: set display orientation failed at android.hardware.Camera.setDisplayOrientation(Native Method) at com.wowza.gocoder.sdk.api.devices.WOWZCamera.autoDetectOrientation(WOWZCamera.java:1160) at com.wowza.gocoder.sdk.api.devices.WOWZCameraView.doConfigChange(WOWZCameraView.java:1164) at com.wowza.gocoder.sdk.api.devices.WOWZCameraView.onConfigurationChanged(WOWZCameraView.java:1187) at android.app.Application.onConfigurationChanged(Application.java:130) at android.app.ActivityThread.performConfigurationChanged(ActivityThread.java:5001) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleConfigurationChanged(ActivityThread.java:5200) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleConfigurationChanged(ActivityThread.java:5124) at android.app.servertransaction.ConfigurationChangeItem.execute(ConfigurationChangeItem.java:42) at android.app.servertransaction.TransactionExecutor.executeCallbacks(TransactionExecutor.java:108) at android.app.servertransaction.TransactionExecutor.execute(TransactionExecutor.java:68) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1831) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:106) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:201) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:6806) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(RuntimeInit.java:547) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:873)
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.

You can adjust some settings to reflect the following: **same as device** , a **lways 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.
```auto
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.
