Hi Tuur

If you want to use krpano only you could preload a larger file (~5MB) and measure the loading time within the onloaded-event. A simple GT or LE-routine could then deliver a slow/fast-var which could be used for further actions. This way you could either use smaller or bigger pano-tiles etc. by loading the corresponding XML-file or by using txtadd to set specific filenames.

Yeah...there´s always a catch between fast loading times and high quality-content

My best advice is to create a special pause-event for such things, like an interesting welcome-message, welcome-image etc. which keeps the viewer busy and interested for a few seconds while the tour is doing it´s magic in the background. Another way would be to load a bunch of small files (multiple copys of one image i.e.) for a certain amount of time (10 secs i.e.) and then count the number of images that were be loaded during that time. Each loaded image could add +1 to a var in the onloaded-event and the final number would than be a usable speed-indicator. A technique I use for the background loading of a 3D-map inside krpano btw

I did some research too some time ago, but detecting the users connection speed requires always some kind of data to be loaded in the background. There is no direct detection which delivers such infos - as far as I know.

Good luck

Hi!)

What if use a very small video in the background (say, size about 3 Mb) and check its http://krpano.com/plugins/videoplayer/#loadedbytes parameter after 5 or maybe 10 seconds and see how many bytes were loaded and so have some idea aout connection speed.
