Screenshot showing correct rotation of thumbnail, but incorrect rotation of playback

Some videos that include rotation in their metadata are displayed incorrectly in the preview player, although the thumbnail image is rotated correctly. See attached screenshot. Example video (10.5 MB, too large to attach) can be downloaded from: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1598DPy8qzdeYL4Lwpn9RAQ9sdMplrIX0

The video will play in the correct orientation. Either read the metadata again from the video or you clicked the right mouse button in the video window, then the video will be rotated clockwise.

Ah. "Reread Metadata" in the Item menu does indeed correct the orientation. Thanks!
