By pulling a photo from a smartphone, the orientation tags are not evaluated

[bgewehr]

When pulling photos from smart devices into the media node, it does not evaluate the orientation tags so that the portrait photo appears in landscape. Can I do something from my (user) side to correct the orientation or would you have to fix that in the code?

Never thought about that possibility. We don't analyze the media file (be it an image or a video), we just hand a file over to the browser, and the browser is the one responsible for rendering.

Looks like we can instruct the browser to take a look on the EXIF data and rotate it itself. I'll try that out later (you can also try out by adding that CSS property on your browser's developer console), and then we can add it to the node
