I have just bought a new WD TV live hub 1T.

but I got surprised when I found that all my videos taken through my digital canon  cameracorder and my smart phone like iphone or galaxy S are not played correctly (they are rotated).

please I need to know how we can solve this issue, it is really very annoying and push me to refund the product

You’re gonna have the same problem with any other brand of media player.

 

How did you film the footage ?  Camera Held in the Upright (Portrait) Position ?

 

Does the Hub play it rotated with black bars on the left and right side of screen ?

 

Try a test and hold the Camera ‘Horizontally’ (aka Landscape) and film a short clip and copy it to the Hub and look at the results.

 

The Live Hub (or any other media player cannot auto rotate film footage when shot at a different orientation (Portrait) to play correctly on a 16:9 display)
