🐛 Front camera recording is inverted when going from Back to Front camera during recording on Android about react-native-vision-camera HOT 4 OPEN

@mrousavy I think I figured out the issue -- at least doing this change fixes it for me:

In this file:
node_modules/react-native-vision-camera/android/src/main/java/com/mrousavy/camera/core/CameraSession.kt

I commented out line 308:
val video = VideoCapture.Builder(recorder).also { video ->
// Configure Video Output
// video.setMirrorMode(MirrorMode.MIRROR_MODE_ON_FRONT_ONLY)

And the issue was resolved. I think this is because in my use case, the recording starts using the back camera and the CameraX must set a certain orientation, and when I switch to Front camera during the same recording the orientation is not updated to relative to Front camera, so mirrorMode causes the inversion.

I'm not sure if there is a way to adjust the code to check if the orientation is correct before applying the setMirrorMode or maybe this is the desired behavior just an issue with CameraX as you say.

Thanks.

What does inverted mean? Please attach a sample video.

Here is a screen recording using the Android Pixel 6 Pro API 34 emulator. The same happens on physical device:

Okay, this is a CameraX bug then, nothing I am doing explicitly - could you create a bug report in the Google CameraX issue tracker about this?
Thanks!
