Videos 360

Hi!! I need to put video player to a Sphere to make a 360 video effect, but I don't know if now it is avariable and if there are alternatives for that, I would be very thankful.

I am also interested in 360º pictures quality

I posted some 4K 360º pictures in one of my Spaces but, somehow, Spatial or Unity download them to very low definition

Yes, I want to get it too, in videos

This is possible. What have you tried so far?

I'm waiting for a publish to finish and then I'll share a link here.

Were the pictures added in Unity and published with your space or did you add them directly into the space?

Here's the Unity package so you can see how I did it.

DO NOT IMPORT THIS INTO A PROJECT YOU AREN'T WILLING TO THROW AWAY. Import into a new, empty project so you can learn how it works. Then, apply it to your own.

I will explain how it "works" in another response.

The scene has a single sphere in it, scaled to 25, 25, 25 so it's large enough for visitors to be inside of. This size is arbitrary; adjust as needed.

Add the Video Player component to the sphere and change the Source property value from "Video Clip" to "URL". Video clips are NOT supported in WebGL.

Set the Render Mode on the Video Player component to "Material Override.

Change the Audio Output Mode to "Audio Source" and set up the Audio Source. Note: there's a known bug where the audio source set up this way does not work with the Audio Mixer.

Additional notes:

• There's no video player controls. You need to add them yourself.
• The URL property of the Video Player must point directly to a video file. It cannot be a video on a web page. (like a YouTube link, for example).
• You need to make sure wherever the video is stored, the server has CORS enabled.
• If you get CORS errors, please see this thread for more information: https://discord.com/channels/829136172407717957/1290666192327151688
• The video I'm using isn't a 360 video. A 360 video will likely look better.

The pictures were added in Unity; that's why I am wonder if Spatial or Unity change them to low definition

[keen bison]

When you brought those images into Unity, did you adjust their import settings at all?

[lofty cave]

Sounds a challenge and I will try it tomorrow

[lofty cave]

No, I just added the image to the Sphere
