I really love flashplayer now being able take Qtvr-files - so I can use the same .mov-files as I use for DevalVr and Quicktime .

But I have some panoramas-qtvr with restriction at nadir so it should only be possible to tilt down -65 degree.
It works fine with DevalVr and Quicktime - but Flashplayer allow the viewer to tilt all the way down, revealing the tripod ;-(

I've tried to add tilt_min to the xml-file, but it makes no difference:
--------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<panorama>

<parameters>
layer_3 = files/limits.swf
layer_6 = files/movDecoder.swf

layer_8 = files/menuFullscreen.swf

panoType = mov
panoName = fsdemo/hindsgavl2F

</parameters>

<limits>
tilt_min = -65
</limits>

<movDecoder>
disableMacPreview=1
</movDecoder>

</panorama>
---------------------------------------------------

The best thing would be if the movDecoder could take the internal tilt-parameters from the mov-file.
But if that's not possible too - can I instead insert a picture (logo or whatever) at nadir hiding - and if so how do I do it

Well, by looking at some other peoples xml-files I found out that I shall use <borders> instead of <limits> .
But how should I know that? In the parameter documentation delivered with the download I can't find any explanation - only a xml-sample test using <limits> :(

Before I go into more xml-settings I like to know if there is a better and more clear and up-to-date tutorial to be found somewhere?

Hi there, better late than never right?

You must set the tilt_min AND tilt_max.
try this:


<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<panorama>
<parameters>
layer_3 = files/limits.swf
layer_6 = files/movDecoder.swf
layer_8 = files/menuFullscreen.swf

panoType = mov
panoName = fsdemo/hindsgavl2F

</parameters>

<limits>
tilt_min = -65
tilt_max = 130
</limits>

<movDecoder>
disableMacPreview=1
</movDecoder>

</panorama>

Odd that the documentation indicates placing the params for tilt_min & tilt_max in BORDERS when placing them in LIMITS is what works apparently.

Is it different for .mov files or something?

The information for tilt limits is already in a .mov file that you make. I don't see why FPP doesn't just grab these values right from the .mov file instead so one doesn't even have to bother with these extra parameters.

Apparently there are two different plug-ins "Borders" and "Limits", written by the same person which take the exact same params and do essentially the same thing?

Can someone explain what the difference is?
