ffmpeg - set metatag to .ts file - ffmpeg

Question

i have a .mp4 video, that is recorded in iphone4s.This video file contains 'Rotate - 180' metadata.
When i am converting the .mp4 file to .ts using ffmpeg. I lost the 'Rotate' meta tag.
The ffmpeg command that i have used is given below.
ffmpeg -i input_file.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -vbsf h264_mp4toannexb output_file.ts
is there any one know how to set 'Rotate' meta data to a .ts file ?
or
any other way to copy all meta datas in the input .mp4 file to output .ts file
Thank you

Nothing seems to work to add the rotation metadata to .ts files with ffmpeg. Only re-encoding works.
My input file has a rotation value of 90.
Terminal command:
./ffmpeg -i input_file.mp4
Metadata:
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'input_file.mp4':
Metadata:
major_brand : isom
minor_version : 0
compatible_brands: isom3gp4
creation_time : 2013-08-27 21:25:13
Duration: 00:00:21.33, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 16820 kb/s
Stream #0:0(eng): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p, 1920x1080, 17011 kb/s, 30 fps, 30 tbr, 90k tbn, 180k tbc
Metadata:
rotate : 90
creation_time : 2013-08-27 21:25:13
handler_name : VideoHandle
Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: aac (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 121 kb/s
Metadata:
creation_time : 2013-08-27 21:25:13
handler_name : SoundHandle
The following attempts did not get the rotation value to copy over:
./ffmpeg -y -i input_file.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -bsf h264_mp4toannexb output_file.ts
./ffmpeg -y -i input_file.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -bsf h264_mp4toannexb -metadata rotate=90 output_file.ts
//------ even manually specifying the metadata as the first video stream does not work: ------//
./ffmpeg -y -i input_file.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -bsf h264_mp4toannexb -metadata:s:v:0 rotate=90 output_file.ts
Even though you can manually inject metadata like:
./ffmpeg -y -i input_file.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -bsf h264_mp4toannexb -metadata TITLE='Test Title' output_file.ts
This does work, but requires re-encoding, which is really inefficient compared to video and audio codec copying above.
(1 == 90 degree CW rotation)
./ffmpeg -y -i input_file.mp4 -vf "transpose=1" output_file.ts
