krpano HTML5 Multiresolution Preview

Yeahhhh!

Thank you Klaus

Absolutely fantastic work, Klaus. Thank you!

Quick question. I can't get it to work in my environment though. This may have several reasons. For instance, is a tile size of exactly 512px a requirement for the mutliresolution to kick in? I've also tried it with a pano that has a tile size of 480px, also to no avail.

Cheers,

Florian

PS: If it helps, here's the XML I was trying it with (the normalview function gets called from within defaultskin.xml...) :

<krpano logkey="false" version="1.0.8.15">


	<include url="%SWFPATH%/defaultskin.xml" />


	<view maxpixelzoom="1.5" fisheye="0.35" fisheyefovlink="2" hlookat="148" vlookat="3" fov="30" />	
	<action name="normalview">
		set(display.flash10,on);
		oninterrupt(break);
		lookto(-70, 0, 70, smooth(45,45,60), false);
		set(view.fovmax,111);
		set(autorotate.enabled,true);
		set(autorotate.waittime,3);
		set(autorotate.accel,1);
		set(autorotate.speed,2);
		set(autorotate.horizon,-5);
		set(autorotate.tofov,90);
	</action>

Ok, found it. As Tuur was saying earlier:

You can't use maxpixelzoom and you have do explicitely specify a (small value for) fovmin for it to work. And tilesize doesn't have to be 512px.

When will the next version release

Hi,

there is new version out - with remove-able watermark:
https://krpano.com/html5multires/#download

By adding this code in the xml it will be possible to hide the watermark:

Code

<prerelease watermark="false" />

Best regards,
Klaus

I added the code but it does not remove the watermark?

Another thing. I thought I would need to remove the mobile and ipad images in the xml to make it work with the multiresolutions. However it just seems to ignore them even if they have device settings.

The first pano has them removed in xml but none of the others. Still multiresolution works on them. I only changed the FOV to 20 in No 1,2 and 3

Hans

Another thing. Just checked it on my Galaxy Note 2. Works fine except for the info buttons which are very jumpy.

Hans

Ok I found out. For some reason it did not remove the Demo watermark. I done a new update and it is fine now.

Hans

Congratulations Hans.

That's running like a
dream on my Windows 8 Tablet. The HTML5 Multi Touch experience is
absolutely fantastic. Pinch and Zoom is so smooth. Over all, this is
a far superior experience from using Flash.
I'm very excited about this released of krpano. Well done Klaus.

Regards

James.

Thanks
Actually I have done one more with not so good results.
This one is almost same interface same place just a new exhibition.

However this one crashes on my iPad 3 but not on the Galaxy Note 2.
No problem as long as you just pan around and use the initial zoomlevel. However as soon as you zoom in and then go back and load next pano or try to pan you may crash.

The difference is that this one has just 3 levels starting at 1600 pixels with 800 pixels tiles.
The first one has 4 levels and starts at 897 with 762 pixels tiles.

Updated. The tour has been updated with 512pixels tiles 4 levels 512-1024-2048-4096
Everything now works fine on my iPad 3 however I had to go to Safari preferences and delete the Cache. It loaded some very weird panos using the old files.
I seen this before the iPad is very bad at using cached files.

Hans

Hi Klaus,

As always the best to you and your growing family. Hope father hood finds you well.

With this beta, If I use it now, will I be able to update an existing tour via the beta to a persistent version ?

All the best,

Robert

In the xml we have a lot of settings for the skin true or false.
However I miss one. If I want to use it for a single pano I do not need the thumb open button. Would it be possible to control this same way.

thumbs="false"

Now I need to edit the skin for this.

Hans

What about the moving hotspots on Android. Can something be done. Its only in HTML5, flash works fine.
Seems to be both on distorted and undistorted

Quote from klaus.krpano

This happens only on some Android devices which have enabled WebGL in the stock Webview browser (many Samsung devices).
In other non Webview-based-browser like Android Firefox, Android Chrome or Android Opera this doesn't happen too of course.

I checked Firefox and Chrome. While the hotspots works fine they have some issues with the combobox.
Font is gigantic on both and the box is misplaced about 10-20 pixels lower.

Firefox seems to have the best and most fluent panning.
However it also autostarts the video like on desktop flash, thats fine but when you enter the site the video stops. Apparently it reacts on the click on the startbanner through the 2 layers.

Choosing desktop version in Chrome gives me gigantic thumbs etc. and a combobox which is very difficult to open but it has correct fontsizes.

Hi,

Its great to work on Krpano HTML5 multiresolution. Absolutely brilliant job..
We have purchased krpano 1.0.8.15 (build 2012-10-05) license. How can we upgrade to krpano 1.17 (build:"2013-06-18").
We love to upgrade to Krpano HTML5 Multiresolution.


Your earliest response in this regard would be highly appreciated.


Thanks,
Vinu kumar

very easy, just download it here

Edit from Klaus:
Hi, I have changed your link from directly linking to the zip file to linking to the download page. That's better because there will be newer versions with newer zip files (with different names) from time to time.
