I want to load a video before starting the tour, with a button to skip it if necessary.

I've sort of managed to achieve the effect by adding a video with 100% dimensions on the skin, but once I loaded the output, the panorama loaded first, then the video, and the video didn't have the correct aspect ratio, so I could still see the panorama behind it.

Is there a better way to solve this?

Hi,
See this forum post: viewtopic.php?p=60098#p60098
We ca not control what the browser downloads and in what order, so the above project “covers” the panorama so if the image tiles arrive before the video you don’t see them.
Also what helps is optimising the video for streaming, known as web optimised in HandBreak.
As the path to the video is in the video element it will get loaded along with the image tiles.
