Problems when viewing 360 videos from Rylo camera

Hello,

I've created a number of 360 videos from my Rylo camera and downloaded them to my PC to view them with VLC.

In practice a few of those videos appear as a single sphere. However, I cannot modify the view orientation or zoom in/out either through mouse or keyboard.

But most of them appear as 2 spheres, one with front view, other with back view. Likewise I cannot modify orientation or zoom in/out.

All videos have been created with same cam.

I'm using VLAN 3.0.3.

Any idea why ?

We can't handle content that can't be identified.
Provide sample video for a start, but no guarantee

Here's an example of a file with two spheres :

And one with a single sphere :

I kinda got the single sphere working after two steps:

1/ apply rotation to a file with https://gist.githubusercontent.com/koss ... trotate.py

Code: Select all

./qtrotate.py RYLO0027.MP4 90
2/ apply mp4 metadata to a file with https://github.com/google/spatial-media ... atialmedia

Code: Select all

$ python spatialmedia -i RYLO0027.MP4 two.mp4 Processing: RYLO0027.MP4.mp4 Saved file settings Track 0 Spherical = true Stitched = true StitchingSoftware = Spherical Metadata Tool ProjectionType = equirectangular Track 1 Track 2
Then, the video looks good an can be moved around in VLC 3.0.4 at least.

Thanks for this.
The two videos were taken with the same camera. Any idea why one doesn’t need post treatment and the other does ? That’s kind of weird.
