However, as of right now, using youtube-dl to download the video ("youtube-dl -f 315+171 -merge-output-format mkv"), a screenshot of the video at the same timestamp as above looks like this: The above image shows the correct over/under equirectangular panorama projection for a 3D 360° video.
YouTube has also been re-encoding previously uploaded videos to their new proprietary format.įor example, here is a screenshot from a video (found on YouTube at: - I downloaded it on ): This format now makes it completely useless to download the desired 360° for viewing in best possible quality & on offline video players, as no viewer outside of YouTube would recognize the proprietary format. one week ago, YouTube has changed their internal encoding processes to convert uploaded 360° videos to a custom proprietary format (no longer equirectangular panorama).
#GOPRO VR PLAYER ENCODE CODE#
A 360° video producer would format their video to one of the above projections, and then use YouTube's "Spatial Media Metadata Injector" tool (found here: ) to inject the code needed to inform YouTube that the video being uploaded is a 360° panoramic video.Īpprox. The standard video format is in "equirectangular panorama" projection for 2D, and "over/under equirectangular panorama" projection for 3D 360° videos. one week ago, YouTube has changed its encoding algorithms for panoramic 360° 2D/3D videos.Īs a producer of such videos, I am familiar with the standard format used by most 360° video players to convert the flat video image into a 360° panorama (in either 2D or 3D).
