Hey everyone, MMM-Selfieshot only allows for an image preview in landscape mode. Is there a way/ unconventional configuration option to change into portrait mode? This would come quite handy as my mirror (as most mirrors) is also in portrait orientation and I am building a 3D-printed socket that also allows to put the camera into portrait orientation. Best, Hendrik

@hclaus This module’s features are dependent on node_webcam module, but that module is just a convenient wrapper of lower-level applications like fswebcam or ImageSnap . Anyway, node_webcam itself has no feature about it. Frankly said, I’ve already requested that feature to the developer of that node module ( https://github.com/chuckfairy/node-webcam/issues/38 ) for my own purpose, but he hadn’t yet. There could be several solutions; Rotating the picture on display of MM (Just with CSS it could be done, but the file itself is not rotated, so if what you need is the picture itself, this is not a perfect solution) Rotating the picture file after shooting (Another post-process is needed. Fortunately, Just one picture’s rotating takes not so long time - Some SBC might not have enough power to process fast) Taking photo itself with rotation. (To achieve this, Independence from node_webcam module might be needed. But not a big deal.) I’ll consider options and make a solution for this. But you need to know one thing. At this moment, the module’s owner is in anotherone, not me. So I’ll make a PR but acceptance would be on his hands. (Maybe we could have other branch or special dedicated clone for you when the PR is not accepted.)

Anyway, this is a universal solution, because I don’t know your screen resolution, direction, background padding/margin, wanted photo size, etc.
With specific conditions, it would be deadly simpler.
