We need this as soon as possible please. We are really struggling and we are live.

@RealDrewKlayman If you are willing to help test, you can checkout my fork. I wouldn't deploy to production until you're comfortable with how it behaves.

@arivera-skycred Hi, I'm trying it and it doesn't update my job templates.

[arivera-skycred]

@romcok I am not sure if it will work in an update scenario. I tore down the entire CloudFormation deployment and tried from scratch and it worked. The only issue I noticed was with the Encode lambda function. For some reason the Layer that is added during the CloudFormation is not properly utlizing the latest aws-sdk which is required for the Rotate: AUTO param to work. I had to manually upload the layer for it to work.

See this for more help with that: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53786393/210039

Uf, thanks, but this is little hard to update.

Do you know where mediaInfo.video[0].rotation comes from? I don't see it in srcMediaInfo. I think it set me the landscape video to portrait because the rotation property is missing.

event.rotation = mediaInfo.video[0].rotation; // == undefined

event.isRotated = (event.rotation !== 0 && event.rotation !== 180); // == true

[romcok]

Finally it works.
I had to map the rotation attribute to MediaInfo class and change cf custom resource.

@romcok glad it works for you now. It was a tedious update to be sure.

We just released a new version of the solution (v5.0.0 - https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/video-on-demand-on-aws/), and thanks to this PR by @rromanchuk (#27), you can now specify an inputRotate parameter to the workflow (/~https://github.com/awslabs/video-on-demand-on-aws#source-metadata-option).
