VR mode is playing video in IOS UIWebView

Hello,

I have an issue in UIWebView in IOS when I enter VR mode.
The white screen video is playing and restarting again and again.
I have checked krpano example, the same issue.

What could be the reason?

Thanks

Hi,

that's the 'ios wakelock' hack - it play a 'hidden' video in the background to avoid that Safari would let the device go into sleep mode.

There are two solutions for custom apps (both should be applied):

Enable the 'allowsInlineMediaPlayback' setting in your app:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/…nemediaplayback
This would avoid that the browser would open the build-in fullscreen videoplayer when playing the 'wakelock' video.

And better also disable the 'wakelock' hack of the krpano WebVR plugin:
https://krpano.com/plugins/webvr/#mobilevr_wakelock
and disable the device-sleep-mode directly in your app.

Best regards,
Klaus
