Serious problem: iphone 5s GoCoder videos get rotated and distorted ?!

Hello,

I am testing livestreaming using Wowza and GoCoder. Today a very strange thing happen:

  • first video was fine

  • after that all videos were rotated and distorted

No changes were made to the camera on the tripod (iphone 5s, IOS 8.0.2, latest GoCoder).

The VOD files were rotated and distorted, I have uploaded one ok file and one rotated/distorted file to Dropbox.

Video settings: 640x360, 700 kbits/second.

I really would appreciate if anyone can help me here. I like a lot the manual control of transmission rate and video resolution in GoCoder, but clearly this is a showstopper if the videos get destroyed like this.

I am answering my own post…

The only thing I can think of is IOS 8.0.2 which is really new so far. Perhaps the GoCoder app does not work ok on IOS 8.0.2. I have not seen this rotation/distortion on IOS 7.

Has anyone used GoCoder without problems on IOS 8 ?
