OK.
The project starts tomorrrow !

Thanks Arthur !

Yes - I found this folder with some samples of video panorama - I
could exchange those files to my own 360 video
( but mine are 7680x3840
Would adding a codeline for
videointerface_addsource('7680x3840 etc make it

I feeel it will be åainfull

None drag and drop helping tools for video ?

Yes ineed
but those are just samples of what can be done -
I cannot find anything simple about programming steps
that I could mimic for a simple one video - no hotspots
publishing .

Long krpano user ( for stills )
I would like to publish one 360 Video ( H 264 .mp4 or m.mov ) 8K on my customers server ( fast )

Normally I would use ( i'm on OSX 15.3 ) Krpano Tools for VR tour creation or MAKE VTOUR Droplet.app
Sometimes I add autorotation by pasting short text into tour.xml file ( that I open in BBEdit )

Is there any simple- step by step tutorial ( here is a sample for still image tha i use ) for example

step1 - drag and drop panorama_360.jpeg file on "MAKE VTOUR Droplet"

step2 - open tour.xml file in texteditor and paste text
<autorotate enabled="true" waittime="2" accel="1.6" speed="0.9" horizon="6" tofov="NaN"/>
after line that starts with "<view hlookat="

step3 save the file


But of course for video?

Customer wants ability to switch between regular interactive 360 video and viewing mode för VR glasses.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Sorry if this is obvious.
I guess i need to add a string to tour.xml
but i cannot find the exact phrase .

Quote from klaus.krpano

Thanks Klaus .

Unfortunately " loading " doesn't end .
White page for ever.

I have been trying to randomly change the figure in port setting- No luck .

But ..... Drumroll - good news -
I found an old krpano Testing Server.app
included in v 1.19 - and that one works !!

( which is kind of lovely )

Display More

I'm on MAc OSX 10.14
I have been using successfully local server previously -
but all of a sudden it is not working anymore-
I only get a white page loading - nothing happens - Is there som obvious misstake from my side ?
anything i can do ?
The tour itself / index.html works when uploaded online
local server opens my default html browser ( chrome )
Thanks for any suggestions.

As lowtech as it sounds - this suggestion actually works ...
Thanks.

I'm also kind of p... d that Safari lags so much in 360 abilities ....
looks for me as Apple is not catching upp properly anymore.
But that is another thing.

OK thanks -
I can see that even PanoTourPro wants a separate mp3 file for iphone ...
I hope only it comes synced with VDO ...

Still fighting to get krpano video to work .

http://fotograf.nu/AF_directors_ny/index.html

almost there ( and got a proper workflow for it thanks to Jonathan ) but .........

Still No sound on iphone - I thought it was solved in 1.19 PR ?

( Is some kind of workaround still needed ? )

Iphone support is crucial in Sweden.
I can watch equirectangular videos on iphones WITH sound - so
I think it is a Viewer problem ?

I have tested countless Video/ audio encodings -
( hours of encoding )

But even samples here are Iphone soundless.
any suggestions ?

judging by this
http://caniuse.com/#search=h264

webm/ogg seems to be a waste of time ?

OMG _
webm is killing me - for a project that needs SPEEED -
Exporting webm on mac using miro is so slooooooooooooooow.

I could try installing ffmpeg on my mac- will it make the process three times the speed of miro ?

I talked to sem Video folks I know and they told me that they never bother with webm format as almost everything will show mp4 ...

So how important is it with webm / ogg ? ?

Seriously !!!

Please tell me to skip it ....

Thank You Arthur - i try understand things better .-)

Q1 -
"- put your tour.js and tour.swf (version 1.19.pre3 in the folder."

Cannot find it - and I made a search in my krpano folder-
Got hits on some files but from 2013 ...

But for sure I need also to put " viewer " folder from 1.19 pre3 ?

Q 2

n the video folder should be:
- myvideo_1k.mp4 1024 wide mp 4 made by Handbrake or Miro ?
- myvideo_1k.webm Handbrake ?
- myvideo.mp3 - it looks like sound only file - how Do i create it ?
- myvideo.ogg - How to create it ?
- myvideo_2k.mp4 - 1920 k wide I guess
- myvideo_2k.webm - made with handbrake or MIro ?

ogg file is not mentioned in video .xml document ( to be invoked )

and the 2 poster files as:

- myvideo_1k_poster.jpg - is it 1000 or 1024 px wide ?
- myvideo_2k_poster.jpg is it 2000px wide or 1920 ?

Great - so ..
Krpanos own Example Video interface is good ?

I guess not modifications of that are needed -
I kind of miss " fullscreen button " on mobile ....

Then 3 different video sizes / formats are needed - Handbrake or Miro
for webm ?

are output settings invoking problems with sound ?
Anything special that spoils sound ?

SO I use the sample videointerface from 1.85 ,
but remove 1.85 viewer folder - by overwriting it with viewer folder from 1.9 rev 3
sound issue must be krpano related as i Can hear sound in the video files...

OK _ i will try TUURs approach -

My test krpano Theta video seems not to work properly
on Note4 and unfortunately Sound doesnt work on iphone 6.

SO the solution is not so good but I'm quite happy with much beter
image quality then YT upload.
So I will fight a bit more .
Maybe 19 pre 3 works better

Regarding TUURs suggestions -

Hmmm

Downloaded 1.19 - registred krpano licens in krpano tools.

Looked for " examples folder "
found only webvr folder-

When I open index.html ( on my mac )
I get a still sky panorama with text Look here to start-

This is not what I expected .

File set that works correctly on Jonathans server ( 1.85 ) is what I want
http://www.v360r.com/jann_theta360video_1/index.html

And I got it to work on my own server :

http://www.fotograf.nu/jann_theta360video/index.html
And even as iframe ! which is what I was fighting for !!!

Thanks You Jonathan

The idea of droplet came up from Keith Martin
on Ricoh Theta FB group.

I understand it is very simple.
to code - butdroplet is sooooo much simpler - as it can handle misspellings -
and for example as Tuur says - Don't forget webm - then I start too Google webm
IN the best of the worlds I would like the droplet to do all that for me ( excluding Google search maybe )
( maybe the droplet could access some web based webm creating service )

Warm regards.

I would say in this forum I'm probably one of the people that struggle most to understand difference between xml and html
But in real life on streets of Stockholm I would say i'm better then 9 of ten

Let me put you this way - it is very simple to speak Polish.
even 2 year old can do it.
( and yes I'm born in Poland so I know )

So simple is very relative term .

The lovely thing with my krpano video struggle is that
Theta S video loooks so much better self hosted then on You Tube or facebook .

I will test Jonathans droplet on my mac ( But he says it is PC droplet )

My guess is that creating 100 % foolproof video droplet would increase krpano sales.
( as Theta S will be sold in tens of thousands

I'm sure I'm not the only one person that would Looove Droplet för VRvideo playing - Sales wise - there is thousands of happy
Theta S shooters ( like me ) that would buy KRPANO directly if there was a simple ( droplet ) way to get VR video
Playing on private domains .
Please Please Please.
mp4 would do .
