youtube videos in krpano

Hi,

yes, it should be, but only as <plugin> or NOT-distorted <hotspot>,
to use it as distorted hotspot, "bitmap access" would be necessary, but Youtube doesn't allow that!

best regards,
Klaus

hmm...
i've used a devalvr to embed the youtube video, check it here. is that some sort of non-distorted type, or they did it somehow else?

thanks

Hi,

yes, but DevalVR is not Flash!

the Flashplayer has security restrictions which can't be broken by Flash itself
youtube would need to allow the access explicitly in their crossdomain.xml file, but this is not the case,

are there any other sites that allow this.

is it ok to pull a flv file from another server? distorted

But terms of use of the youtube doesn't allow you to use the films in another way except youtube.com service.
I think...

there is no problems with server - you just need to make properly configuration, check develvr forum.
anyway, devalvr have a lot of functional restrictions, so my choice is krpano

well, i've asked the owner of this video. anyway - there is no problem with embedding youtube video on any page in the internet, so why can't we embed it into panos?

it's a Security Limitation from the Flashplayer,
access to data on external domains must be exlictily allowed by the "crossdomain.xml" file on other the domain,

e.g. here is the crossdomain.xml file from youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/crossdomain.xml :

<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*.youtube.com"/>
<allow-access-from domain="*.ytimg.com"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

it only allows access for swf files which are on youtube itself,
(maybe you can ask youtube if they would add your domain here )

Quote from Tim2420

then add video hotspot to your pano with the link to the downloaded file

downloaded videos that are on your own domain are working of course,
