I would like to play one video in two seperate places at the same time.
At the moment I load the video two times in different videoplayer plugin nodes. The first (name=video) is used for a video panorama, the second (name=videobar) is used as an overview video of the whole 360° scene, so it is just a flat video placed on the background of the stage.
Is there a way to reference the video from the first plugin in the second videoplugin to avoid the double loading?
At the moment I also have a second issue. The performance is not good when both videos are played at the same time. Are there typical pitfalls I should avoid when I play two videos at the same time?
In general i try to create something similiar to this video
Following are the relevant pieces of my code.
<plugin
name="video"
url="plugins/videoplayer.swf"
videourl="imp.mp4"
pausedonstart="false"
loop="false"
... />
<image>
<sphere url="plugin:video" />
</image>
<plugin
name="videobar"
parent="BGLAYER"
url="plugins\videoplayer.swf"
videourl="imp.mp4"
align="bottom" x="0" y="-13%"
width="100%"
height="prop"
pausedonstart="false"
loop="false"
...
/>
