Set default view for videos

[iwatson]

Hi Pano2vr,
I recently encountered an issue with a collection of 360 videos where the videos did not start with their default view on play (except for the first one). It seems the videos inherit the view parameters of the previous video, not the one defined for it. This is using the option: Properties -> Input Video -> End Action (next video).

I wanted to ask if there was a known workaround for this issue, or if it will possibly be fixed in a future release?

I did see the post from 2017, where user "esskay" described this issue and offered an apparently workable but convoluted workaround for the same issue of 360 videos not starting with their default view on play. I was wondering if a simpler fix has been found since.

p.s. this is a bit of a luxury request... point hotspots still work for navigation

Thanks very much,
Ian

Hi Ian,
I will check if there is a bug report for this and if not I will add one.
For now, add a seek bar in the skin and deselect, visible.
Set the seek bar to display the progress for the 360 video.

Then give it the action.

This will now open the selected 360 Video in the end action in its default view.
