Android Miniclient Screen Orientation

[snorth87]

I just discovered the greatness of the Android SageTV Miniclient. I works really well on my Galaxy S7, but my case has a built in kickstand that happens to hold the phone upside down for the current orientation of the miniclient. Is there any way in android or in the miniclient to get it to flip the display?

I'm sure it could... You should open a defect on the miniclient tracker...

The challenge is that I disabled screen rotation since the client UI is landscape only... but that disabling of the screen rotation is likely what is preventing the app from adjusting when you rotate upside down.

There's an app out there that might help you out, it can force the screen rotation in various ways (always rotate, landscape rotation only, things like that) that might be a good work around for you. Looks like there are a few of them now: Ultimate Rotation Control

Thanks! Tried it out and it seems to work well.
