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"
...
/>

Found the solution myself, you have to use the <area>-Tag.

I would like to have a button bar beneath my panorama, not on top of it.

e.g.

----------------------------------------
panorama

----------------------------------------
navigation bar layer
----------------------------------------

In the examples i have seen the button bar is always on top of the panorama. I would like to have the bar beneath the panorama because it is quite high and therefore would cover most of the panorama.

Is there a propertey like panorama height i could set?

Thanks a lot,

Hi,
I would like to add hotspots to a video panorama. The hotspots should stay at the same position in the video and not "follow" the user arround.
At the moment I am having an infinite loop that checks the played time of the video every 0.2 seconds and then decides if the hotspot is visible (I defined a start and end time / 0 and 10) and also updates the ox attribute of the hotspot to adjust the position of the hotspot to the current position in the video.

<action name="keyframe">
  add(hotspot[spot].ox, '4'); 
  trace(get(hotspot[spot].ox));
  if(time GT 0, 
    if(time LT 10, 
       trace('show spot'); set(hotspot[spot].visible, true);, <!-- true -->
       trace('hide spot'); set(hotspot[spot].visible, false); <!-- false -->  
    );
  );
delayedcall(0.2, keyframe); 
</action>

My problem is that the hotspot is stuttering because of the adjustment.
Is the general idea okay? or did I miss a hotspot attribute to set for this task? Did anybody already do this or has an advice how to solve this?

Thanks a lot,
Sven
