Thank you Thomas,

My question was referring to my own data (in addition to tiles), html, css and js files, which are many. Being able to update those would be greatly beneficial.

Best,

I assume the package viewer for offline viewing is based on a framework., but which one? The reason for my question is that by using Electron one can selectively update some elements of an application. This means that a user is not required to download the entire package each time something has been...

Hi Christoph,

sorry for this late reply. Indeed, in the meantime I discovered that myself.
Not sure why initially it didn't work - may be an issue with caching, which gets me every once in a while.

At any rate thank you very much for getting back to me on this.

Best,
Franco

In my current project, I need to include everything related to the pano in a separate div container. In other words, the pano container is NOT located in the document body, but one level down, like so: <body> .... <div id="locationWrapper"> <div id="panoContainer"></div> </div> ....

Hard to explain with words, see attachment. When I rotate the pano, this rectangular hotspot turns correctly, but its perspective is wrong. Is there some way to ensure that a rectangular object is always displayed in perspective? I tried using the logic blocks, but in this case that didn't help. Bes...

I am testing the fullscreen mode on a MacBook Pro 2019 and on an iPad Air 3d generation. MacBook Pro: fullscreen does work, but my control panel strip at the screen bottom disappears. I thought I could simply set its z-index to a very high value, but that doesn't make any difference iPad: same issue...

@christoph - that’s good news ... and now for the harder question - when would that be?

ffurger

Hi Christoph, It really would be great if your pano.play() function would return a promise. As it stands now, there is simply no way for me as developer to check if a browser allows autoplay or not. The fact that your API does this internally is only a partial solution. I think it is quite important...

I have included a sound in my project and set the loop parameter to 0. Now, it looks as if pano2VR with loop = 0 would start playing immediately upon page load. However, as far as I can tell browsers don't allow this behavior (in the past it has been abused by advertisers). A user must manually hit ...

Thank you Christoph, I'll give it a try.

Best,

Thank you Christoph, I kind of suspected that. Now, could you tell me how to handle this Promise Rejection coming from the soundPlayer: Unhandled Promise Rejection: NotAllowedError: The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied ...

Hi Hopki, sorry for this late reply. My understanding is that for most browsers, the user can decide to allow autoplay when a page loads. By default, autoplay is turned off in the browser settings, but it can be changed. In the case of my application, I wanted to autoplay (NOT merely play on touch) ...

ffurger

Hopki, Sorry for this late reply, but I have been doing a lot of testing around this issue. Here is what I found out. But first, a few words about my plan: - Yes, most browsers by default don't allow autoplay, and that's fine. I have no intention to somehow bypass this setting. - I have some panos w...

ffurger

well, what I mean is that for some panos I'd like the sound to start playing immediately upon page loading, without user intervention. Some users don't like that and prevent audio from start playing automatically. That's why when this is the case the JavaScript engine throws an error. Normally, in J...

ffurger

Most browsers these days prevent audio from playing automatically. This means that if a page tries to start playing without user intervention the browser will throw an error. In theory this is not a problem, because the developer can catch the error and take an appropriate measure. Unfortunately, th...
