Hello All,

I have a two node panorama tour with an pinned embedded video, that I want to output as a 2 minute flat video clip. I have used animation to pan and tilt in the scenes, and used a simplex_v6 skin.
Output settings has, fly in, auto rotate and animation checkboxes ticked.
When I output the tour, the embedded video has not play an start up or get trigger when auto rotate starts. Just play automatically.

Below is my settings:

video settings:
Output settings:
Animation settings:

I am on pano2vr 6.1 and still fairly new to this.
Can someone advise me where I am going wrong please? Or is there a tutorial I can watch to fix this?
Thanks
Joshua

Hello,
It looks like when I output the tour and view it in a local browser (Chrome and Firefox), the embedded video does not play automatically when it starts rotating.
When I upload the files to a my web server, the embedded video starts to play automatically. Strange, is version 6.1 buggy? As I did not have this issue before.

Regards
Joshua Akin

Hello All,
After a whole day of processing out my mp4 video clip in pano2vr. I played the clip and the embedded video in the mp4 is gone. It does show up my exported VR tour on my web server.
Screen shots below.

Can someone tell me where I am going wrong?

Hi Joshua!

For the embedded video to autoplay, select "Autoplay" in the video properties. Browsers don't allow media with audio to start playing automatically.

Embedded and pinned videos are currently not supported in an animation output. You also won't see them in the webvr output in version 6. But in version 7, they are supported in webvr.
