How-to-guide with FPP2 and .mov (etc)

[tvslaven]

Hi. I have tried to figure out how to show a .mov-(QTVR Cubic) with Flash Panorama Player. Every thread seem to be ahead of this basic step, so I hope that someone can guide me in the right direction on how to implement this on a webpage.

The tutorial only talks about _u. _d, _f-kind of method, but not how to use FPP with an existing .mov-file.

Hope some of you more experienced users find time to guide us newcommers.

You simply need something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<panorama>

<parameters>

layer_1 = files/movDecoder.swf

panoType = mov
panoName = path/your-mov-file

loaderStreamed = 1
loaderBandwidth = 100

</parameters>

<movDecoder>
disableMacPreview=1
</movDecoder>

</panorama>

Have a look in your FPP-plugins folder. There you'll find a movdecoder.txt that explains the parameters.

The implementation of this XML file in the HTML is the same as with every other FPP pano: with SWFobject.js, and then pano.swf?xml-file=yourxmlfile.xml

Hope that helps,
Ph.
