Isle of Man 360

Still under development but would like to share my site http://www.isleofman360.com which is an extensive Virtual Tour and location based guide of the island.

The site is designed to be viewed on Desktop and Mobile and I have successfully tested on numerous devices.

Re: "Error loading panorama XML"

It makes perfect sense to use a media server, it would be really good if I could get an answer to this.

Does Pano2Vr support storing the tile faces on a different server to the 'loader' without a CORS error and is it possible to still use an XML string?

Re: CMS integration?

Amazon S3 is very cheap and very fast the only downside is that like all Amazon Web Services though it is not the easiest thing to set up.

Re: CMS integration?

I use wordpress to manage my panos, I set up a custom post type for panoramas although I actually just upload the files to an Amazon S3 bucket then store the filename in the database and then have written plug-ins to allow me to add hotspots and pan intial pan tilt etc. On the S3 bucket I set permis...

Re: "Error loading panorama XML"

Hi I guess it has always been assumed that the file names would always be the same. Regards, Hopki Hopki, I can live with the using an xml file and it being the same name, but the even when I do this, it does not support images on an external media server. I have tried uploading the xml file to the...

Re: Linking to a database

Been doing a load of reading up on Cross origin loading and I seem to be doing everything right, but pano2vr does not seem to want to play nice with loading from a sub-domain mainly due to the assumption that we will just want to manully output files and upload all teh outputted files to a single se...

Re: Linking to a database

I have been dynamically building my XML and using pano.readConfigString to load my XML as I have over a 1000 panos on my site. The newer version of the player however seems to rely on an xml file called via readConfigUrl, and the xml file must have the same name as the tile faces. Is there a way rou...

Re: Html 5 does not work in chrome or firefox

The future is not that far off, in the UK most mobile contracts renew around christmas and you can usually get a hefty discount on a new phone if you extend or renew at that time.

With the August cut off it will start kicking in very quickly and would be good to head this off.

Re: HTML5 tour weird behaviour in Firefox reported by client

If you see my thread on firefox and Chrome problems I get the same issues, it is down to a Web GL issue with my Graphics card on my laptop, yet Chrome works fine. I guess the only way round this is to prefer Flash and fallback to HTML5 assuming most FF users will have Flash.

Re: Html 5 does not work in chrome or firefox

Hopki, Thanks for helping me work this through, I have a real world site that uses extensive panoramic photography and i need a solution that caters for as many devices as possible including android as that is a significant and growing percentage of my visitor stats.

Re: Html 5 does not work in chrome or firefox

Hopki, I have been using the HTML5 only test. Chrome for Android only runs on ICS, and does not support flash at all, mainly because adobe stopped mobile development before it launched. The recent announcement from Adobe states that they will no longer be allowing new phones to install the flash pla...

Re: Html 5 does not work in chrome or firefox

Hopki, thanks for the links, they have helped me test and get the the bottom of it. Chrome on the desktop does runs beautifully but Firefox 11 or 13 don't for me. In firefox I get the javascript warning Warning: WebGL: Can't get a usable WebGL context Source File: http://support.ggno.me/html5nofallb...

Re: Html 5 does not work in chrome or firefox

Hopki, to clarify this is nothing to do with local permissions etc. Rather than pointing you to some of my samples which use custom code, lets take the examples on your site http://gardengnomesoftware.com/samples/pano2vr_3/ntour/ as you will have tested and these should work. Load this sample into F...

Re: Html 5 does not work in chrome or firefox

No this is not running locally it is on the web and as I stated the same thing happens with the sample panormas viewed on this site. Have you tested the panos in the sample section, do they use an older revision of code?

Re: Html 5 does not work in chrome or firefox

So am I to assume that it is only me that is getting this issue, despite testing across a range of devices?

Can someone point me to a sample of the HTML5 player for Chrome or Firefox that works for them so I can test.
