Define video and poster URLs in embed tag

I have a site that just displays 360 videos. I want to be able to define the video and poster URLs inside the embedpano call, not inside the XML.

Source code

embedpano({
			swf:"krpano.swf", 
			xml:"video.xml", 
			target:"pano", 
			html5:"auto", 
			vars: {
				posterurl: "poster.jpg",
				videourl: "video.mp4|video.webm"
}});


Obviously the above doesn't work, and I've tried a few different variations. Is there anything like this possible? Right now the posterurl and videourl are only available inside the tags<krpano><plugin name="video" posterurl="xx" videourl="xx"></krpano>

Hi,

use the 'fully classified' names:

Source code

vars:{
  "plugin[video].posterurl" : "poster.jpg",
  "plugin[video].videourl" : "video4.mp4|video.webm"
}

Best regards,
Klaus

sub-selectors

Klaus, thank you so much. This worked.

The platform-specific selectors generated errors though:

Source code

vars: {
  "plugin[video].posterurl.ios":"<%=@poster%>",
  "plugin[video].videourl.ios":"<%=@video%>",
  "plugin[video].posterurl.no-ios":"<%=@poster%>",
  "plugin[video].videourl.no-ios":"<%=@video%>",
}


Is there a different syntax for these types of properties or is it just not supported? It could be easy enough to just do the platform checks in JS.

Hi,

these device attributes are features of the krpano XML format itself - they will be resolved during XML parsing. Using it when directly setting the values isn't possible.

Best regards,
Klaus
