various questions (video format? CC videos? similar software?) #65

This software looks interesting.

Some questions:

Is the video stream it expects of a standard 360 format, or something custom? (Some kind of stitching from four GoPros?)
Are there any Creative Commons (or similarly) licensed 360 videos for download anywhere?
Is there any other free and open source software that can play 360 videos (based on threejs or otherwise)?

I'll answer my own questions.

* Is the video stream it expects of a standard 360 format, or something custom? (Some kind of stitching from four GoPros?)

This software expects equirectangular 360 monoscopic. http://flimshaw.github.io/Valiant360/images/equirectangular-screenshot.jpg More information about videos with spherical projections: https://github.com/videojs/videojs-vr/issues/182#issuecomment-873463285

* Are there any Creative Commons (or similarly) licensed 360 videos for download anywhere?

https://github.com/videojs/videojs-vr Which supports not just equirectangular 360 monoscopic, but also stereoscopic content, Cubemap/EAC, etc.
