Flutter Camera Plugin Landscape Video on iPhone

Question

Video does not capture in the right orientation when running the Camera Plugin example app on my iPhone X in Landscape. It works well in Portrait.

Till support lands in the official package, I have had success with flutter_ffmpeg to set proper metadata.

const int AV_LOG_ERROR = 16;

final FlutterFFmpeg _flutterFFmpeg = new FlutterFFmpeg();
_flutterFFmpeg.setLogLevel(AV_LOG_ERROR);

/// The :s:v:0 after -metadata is the stream specifier,
/// which just tells ffmpeg to which stream it should add the metadata.
/// :s stands for the streams of the input file,
/// :v selects video streams and the number is the stream index,
/// zero-based - so this will select the first video stream.
/// The -c option specifies the codec
/// to be used, with copy for just copying the streams, without re-encoding.
final String looselessConversion = '-i $videoPath.mp4 -c copy -metadata:s:v:0 rotate=90 $videoPath-processed.mp4';

try {
  final int returnCode = await _flutterFFmpeg.execute(looselessConversion);

  if(returnCode == 0) {
    // delete the origina video file
    await File('$videoPath.mp4').delete();
  } else {
    throw _flutterFFmpeg.getLastCommandOutput();
  }
} catch (e) {
  print('video processing error: $e);
}

Because I am not encoding the video (just editing metadata) the process completes in less than 10ms for any length of a video file.
