Cross domain issue

In order to avoid a cross domain issue, please keep the code and video within same domain. videojs-panorama uses canvas and includes the video as a resource, so it should be at the same domain. For details, please see: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/36725

If you really want to use a video hosted on a different domain, there are two solutions.
(If you have alternatives, please let me know.)

Video player in iframe

In order to avoid the cross-domain issue, we need to put the video player inside an iframe. However, mobile acceleration and fullscreen do not work in iframes, so you will have to set it up manually. Please check iframe.html and iframe-video.html for details, they include examples to allow mobile acceleration and fullscreen functionality to work in iframes.

Please make sure to add crossorigin="anonymous" attribute in video tag:
`js

`
On the server side, you have to set a cross-origin header, like Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *.

Resize problem

Sometimes the video will need to be resized and/or go fullscreen. For performance, this plugin doesn't handle resize automatically.
Here's the solution:
`js
var player = window.player = videojs('videojs-panorama-player', {}, function () {
window.addEventListener("resize", function () {
var canvas = player.getChild('Canvas');
canvas.handleResize();
});
});
`




Fisheye video support

In some cases, you get the video like below.

!Image of fisheye poster

You don't have to use tools to convert video to equirectangular video, you can use this plugin to play directly.

There are two cases for fisheye video.
One case is the camera took from top to bottom. You may need to restrict user only view the bottom half of the sphere
`js
player.panorama({
maxLat: -10,
initLat: -10,
rotateX: -Math.PI,
});
`

Another case is the camera took from bottom to top.
`js
player.panorama({
minLat: 10,
initLat: 10,
rotateX: 0,
});

`
