With the YouTube Android app, 360 degree videos support using the gyroscope to pan around the video, which is amazing. Is this possible when using the YouTubeStandalonePlayer or YouTubePlayerView in an app?
I have searched the online documentation for YouTubeStandalonePlayer and YouTubePlayerView, and can't find any indication that this is currently possible. See this similar question.

I am searching out the SDK for playing Vimeo 360 video in my application, but I am not able to find out any way to play the video, even safari is also not supporting the 360 player, is there any framework exist to play Vimeo 360 video in my application in Objective-C or Swift?
To play 360 video on your own application you need to implement 360 video player or you can use third party sdk of google cardboard follow the link

and some codes may help for your own player implementation if you are going to custom player for your own

While Vimeo does have an SDK for playing Vimeo videos within iOS apps, 360 video playback is not supported with the library alone. The Vimeo iOS app actually uses the Google VR SDK to handle 360 video playback, which can be found here: https://cocoapods.org/pods/GVRSDK
is it possible to get video playback working on a square with IOS?
Ideally the video would come from a youtube stream.
I have been searching but I cant find anything that seems to work.
My end goal is to make a WebVR web app that can play videos in IOS.
Thanks for any thoughts / advice.
I'd like to know how to get the view angle of a YouTube 360 video. I've been searching all over the place but cannot seem to find anything and now I doubt it's even possible. If someone knows more please do tell.
This isn't possible to get via the YouTube player API yet, but there is a feature request on YouTube's issue tracker here.
im working on Smart TV app for Samsung which should use youtube api to play videos. Embedded videos will work only when app resolution and yt player size are 960x540 or below,
if I set higher resolution (1280x720 or 1920x1080) player stucks, behaves really slow, and videos will buffer infinitely.
Has anyone succeeded in embedding yt videos with higher resolution player?
Thx in advance.
Video player work in FullHD resolution in fullscreen regardless of widget resolution.
If you have troubles with buffering, check your connection speed. Try play file from local network to check that selected resolution and codecs hadled well by TV.
recently i found this case. The youtube apps working great on 720p resolution if the video length is below 10min, but longer than that for example 30min the player will stuck just like as you said.
When changing the app resolution to 540p the youtube player working great again for all videos. I suppose the youtube is using progressive download on their player and Smart TV storage itself is not enough to prepare the long video storage space with 720p resolution rendering.
The conclusion is when using flash player/youtube in apps the best at using 540p app resolution.
Thx all for answering,
in the end I used different approach which showed like best solution.
I used 720p resolution, and youtube cue video functionality.
Basically i cued video, and on "videoCued" event i called "playVideo" method.
This allowed player to get ready and initialize before playing video.
I am using AV Foundation for accessing Camera Features in iOS 5.I want to implement zooming functionality while video recording.But after going a lot of search I could not find a way.I can see the native camera of the iPhone also doesn't support video zooming.
But in some applications like "ProCamera","Luma" I found zooming while video recording.So,Please give me any suggestion to get video recording zoom feature in my app.Thanks.
