Hi,

I'm just testing the use of 360˚ videos in a tour and I've run into an issue with Google Chrome Version 66.0.3359.139 (Official Build) (64-bit) on the desktop, iMac. When I open the tour the first 360˚video doesn't automatically play.

If I open the same tour in Firefox or Safari it works and plays automatically.

You can see the online file https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com ... index.html

Do you think this has anything to do with the Google Chrome changes is Version 66 re automatically playing video https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing ... lay-video/?

Hi Tony,
Yes Chrome is blocking auto play.

Hi Hopki,

Is there any way to detect for a browser type, such as Chrome, in the logic blocks?

Hi Tony,
Yes you can detect Browser using the logic block, look under Advanced Triggers.
Can't say I see any maps!
I have had a drink or two this evening but I'm sure I should be seeing double not none, :lol:

Hi Hopki,

Don't worry its not the drink. I removed the maps comment and made a new post in skins.

When you say detect browser will it detect specific ones?

cheers,

Tony

Firefox: Autoplay is working well. But full screen is too blurry.


Off topic:

Is it enough to close the eyes to protect the retina from the harmful light of the electric arc of the electric welder? :oops:

For the autoplay issue, I simply make my first node of the tour a static splash page, with title/logo. And add a hotspot to Click to start tour. Then the second node autoplays, as well as all others.
