Firefox Camera Upsidedown Marker not working

[doschuster]

Accoording to the old project the issue "There's also an issue with Firefox on Android where videos are rendered upside down - but that's fixed from version 40 onwards." is in this version.
The old repo https://github.com/buildar/awe.js works fine but in this repo the camera is rendered upside down in firefox.

The marker is working in my laptop with the webcam but not in Android.

Hi @doschuster can you please provide a link to a working example of this issue and ideally a screengrab and details of the browser and version. We haven't seen this issue on any of the current browsers and would love to know if it's happening again.

Hello,

i've just tried it with one of your examples https://github.com/awe-media/awe.js/tree/master/examples/marker_ar

On my smartphone with Firefox 52.0.2 on Android 7.1.1 and on my tablet with Firefox 52.0.2 on Android 5.x it is upside-down.
On my laptop also with Firefox 52.0.2 everything works fine.

With Chrome everything on all devices works fine.

Has it something to with the camera? On my smartphone and tablet im using the back camera. On my laptop i only have a front camera. Seems to me that Firefox + back-camera is causing the issue?

In your old repo there was the issue buildar/awe.js#12 said that it is fixed in FF 40+. The examples in this repo are working fine in my Firefox on mobile with back-camera.

Hi @doschuster you're absolutely right 8( It looks like this issue has returned. It was resolved earlier but is clearly a problem again now. I've raised a bug with mozilla and you can track it here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1357968

Please feel free to add info to that to help the mozilla team verify/track down the issue

awe.js also needs an update as Firefox have updated their WebRTC API now too - so we'll push an update for this soon. But I don't believe this is directly related.

Ah okay thanks for your reply. So it isn't directly a bug in awe.js. Hopefully Mozilla will fix this soon.

Btw. great framework. Im using it for my bachelorthesis for an AR control of a vacuum cleaner robot. Hate native Apps.

Hi @doschuster thanks for the feedback - would love to see what you create. And yep native apps bite 8)

BTW: We'll leave this issue open until we've confirmed that Mozilla have resolve the underlying issue.

This github repos is now focused on supporting the development of apps using awe.js on the awe.media platform. You can still access our older awe.js library as the deprecated branch, however we no longer support that code.
