Polyfill for not 360 degree videos #25

Open DJaeger opened 7 years ago

DJaeger commented 7 years ago

How is it possible to activate the polyfill to view the video with cardboard with a video, that is not in 360 degrees? Gear VR for example is able to viewing a video without 360 degrees in full screen, but how is possible to activate the splitscreen for cardboard?

If I set presentation to "NONE" it is also still not working , if I activate FORCE_ENABLE_VR. There should be an option like 2D, that is doing the same as the 2D option of the Gear VR. And if I choose one of the 360 degree presentations it is not viewing me the full video.

Hi @DJaeger the plugin is not designed right now to handle that use case. The transforms are targeted at various 360 formats (mono and stereo). Once upon a time (in the original project this was forked from) there was a "Plane" projection format that could be used - we could consider bringing that back. It was basically like a billboard or drive in theater.

I currently try to figure out, how to do it. The way it was done in upstream is not, how it should be done. But it's harder than thought to do it right.
