krpano 1.19-pr14

Thank you Klauss!

That did the trick and now it's working OK.

Oder es wurde eine Demo-Version getestet - durch die zufälligen Wasserzeichen und die JPEG-Kompression kann sich die Dateigröße bei jedem Durchlauf um einiges unterschieden...

Sorry, es war tatsächlich eine Demo-Version, da ich zum Zeitpunkt an meinen Zweitrechner saß und nicht darauf geachtet hatte...

Hi Klaus

I'm very happy to see in this release some support for displaying stereo panos on 3D TV.

But side-by-side anamorphic mode is not enough. You should at least provide over/under anamorphic as well -- it usually gives more satisfactory stereo.

And for 4K passive 3D TV (which will soon be the standard for home theater) the interlaced format is much the best. I urge you to add that to the next release. It is easy to implement as a shader.

Best,
-- Tom

Hi klaus.
There seems to be a problem with the control bar on both iOS and Android.

On my Galaxy S8+, there's no initial view of the Gyroscope icon until I rotate my phone from Portrait to Landscape, or the other way around. There's also no 4 arrows for rotating the image ever shown either.

iOS 11.2 (iPad Air 2) also has the exact same Gyroscope issue, but does display the 4 arrows for moving the image fine.

On various Android Tablets, the Gyroscope icon won't load at all for me.

Kind regards
James.

Hello Klaus,

thank you for the steady development.

Unfortunately their occured a bug in this release, which regards the Samsung VR Browser.

When I start the WebVR Example and click on Start VR, the Browser goes fullscreen, but Web VR isn't initialized.
In the console the warning: submitFrame must be called within a VRDisplay.requestAnimationFrame callback. is logged.

Klaus: Sorry, not sure what you mean - and related to the event processing nothing had been changed. With which version do you compare your case?

I mean some custom events are called twice on first load. This is a quick example, I inserted this code in a tour created with MAKE VTOUR (MULTIRES) Droplet:

<events	name="test_event" keep="true" onnewscene="trace(hello!);"/>

Which on first load renders this at console:

INFO: krpano 1.19-pr14 (build 2017-12-01)
INFO: HTML5/Desktop - Firefox 57.0 - WebGL
INFO: Registered to: Imagen360.com
INFO: hello!
INFO: hello!

After first load just got one "hello!" on all other scenes but twice at first one. And I found this to hapen as well with onxmlcomplete event but not with onnewpano or onpreviewcomplete.

Haven't looked this at detail but you may want to check it out.

HI, there is a bug in pr14, whe mobilesacle is not set (so 0.5 by default) then hotspots width edge different than center are offset by 25% the height or width of the hotspot on mobile.

Barebone here

hi, Klus, I've added code to xml file and put options.swf in plughin folder as usual, but the options interface doesnt show up at the right corner when I load the tour.xml to krpano Tools.exe , please advise. ths!

My virtual tour has about 150 panoramas and the new VTourEditor very slowly loads when adding a new hotspot.
toureditor.html was much faster, but now it does not work anymore (flash problem). Is there a way to speed up a new VTourEditor, or make the old one with flash is working for me again?

Thanks in advance,
midhat

Actually, toureditor.html is still working by using Safari for windows (with windows seven)

Quote from klaus.krpano

I will look to make that faster.
Using the Flash vtoureditor.swf plugin is still possible, just use a Browser with Flashplayer support. All desktop browsers are basically still supporting Flash, but you might need to enable/whitelist it manually in the browser settings.

Best regards,
Klaus

Thank you.
I use Chrome and I have allowed flash for my site, but I have the following error:

ERROR: Calling action 'loadscene' failed! Parameter count mismatch!

I have been trying to use // inside an event without success, it breaks the action at this point. Maybe here once krpano execute it became a single line, and that's the reason ? not sure.

In previous version it was not supposed to work but if you ended the line with a semicolon it worked.

Maybe that was also related to the events stuff that 360boy mentioned above.

i think // is only allowed inside actions
if you break the xml syntax that can't work

Hi,
I can't change the flag for hotspots operating in web-vr.
If I set something like this, in for example "onentervr",

set(style[skin_hotspotstyle].loadscene_flags, KEEPVIEW);

the flag still remains in MERGE setting.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but trying for example "scale",

set(style[skin_hotspotstyle].scale, 0.5);

is working well.

(modified some days later)

here I've put here a very simple project that can explain the problem:
all the "flags" are set to KEEPVIEW, in all versions are working well except
the webvr where the passing from a scene to the other is in MERGE flag.
In vtourskin.xml the code in "skin_webvr_setup" action was modified like this:

<action name="skin_webvr_setup">	if(webvr.isenabled,	copy(skin_settings.loadscene_flags_backup, skin_settings.loadscene_flags);	set(skin_settings.loadscene_flags, KEEPVIEW);

Error checked with krpano 1.19-pr14 on iOS, with chrome, safari, firefox apps.

Hi Klaus

I've tested the pr14 with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
When I start the tour in portrait and roate to landscape, fullscreen starts
correctly (and it shows me also the icon in the playerbar).
When I rotate back to portrait fullscreen ends (and it shows me also the icon
in the playerbar), but it doesn't resize to fullscreen.
I have around 10% black screen on the bottom side (see screenshot).

When I enter fullscreen manually before I rotate it doesn't exit fullscreen when I rotate back to portrait and it resizes correctly.

Problem happens to me on Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on:
Chrome 63.0.3239.111
Chrome canary 65.0.3309.0
Opera 44.1.2246.123029

No issues with :
Samsung internet 6.2.01.12
Opera mini 32.0.2254.122976
Firefox 57.0.1

When I replace the tour.js with the tour.js generated from version pr13 it solves me the problem.
But thats probably not the solution

Best regards

Dear Klaus!

It seems that mailto: and tel: href links inside html plugins aren't working since version pr14. They worked just fine in pr13. In pr14 when the user clicks on such a link, the background goes dark and there is some kind of a js error in the console. Can you confirm this? Is there any workaround?
