The rea...Hi Victor, yes that's a known problem.<br />The reason is that i know no easy way to determine the field of view from the picture (maybe it's embedded in the metadata, but i did not bother to check, as i needed for full sphere pictures.)<br /><br />In principle correcting this problem should be simple, if this information is given (or, for example, by letting the user choose the FOV)<br /><br />I could try to check this out and possibly update the program when i have some time :)Paolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237672890540743426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213198383136515329.post-26423605011361356182014-06-13T08:49:18.520-07:002014-06-13T08:49:18.520-07:00Hello again.

But when I try an image that has not recorded the full sphere, the program stretches and deforms the image to close the full sphere. The Android viewer keeps a black area around the picture, to complete the sphere without deforming the image. The information that allows Android to set the black area may have disappeard in the resizing process. I wonder if I could open the original non-resized image, wether it would show fine or deformed.<br />Again, thanks a lot.bykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11516963658493627438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213198383136515329.post-14793616157904339392014-06-13T07:21:54.516-07:002014-06-13T07:21:54.516-07:00Hi Victor, i don't know what hardware configur...Hi Victor, i don't know what hardware configuration you have, but one thing you could try (just to check whether it works) is to resize your image and make it smaller.

I fixed that.<br />Now, when I try to open an image, a new window opens, with the "PhotoSphere Python Viewer" title, but it remains empty and blocked. After a few minutes, it crashes.<br />I wonder if installing Python would be a solution for this. Honestly I don't know what Python is.<br />I'm working on W8 and the PhotoSphere pictures are taken by me in a Nexus 5.<br />I know that in this point it will be very difficult for you to help me, but I'm sincerely grateful for your interest. Above all, thanks for sharing your work with such a possitive attitude.<br />All the best.<br />Víctor.bykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11516963658493627438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213198383136515329.post-77141389161425179142014-06-13T05:18:07.264-07:002014-06-13T05:18:07.264-07:00Also, after you run it, you can either search for ...Also, after you run it, you can either search for a local file by clicking the "Choose" button, or you can paste a URL to a photosphere image from the net (like for example https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-AQ7EIRdgJ70/U1DrS5jxuHI/AAAAAAAA9LM/E9xpUdKAclI/w2509-h1253-no/14+-+1 )Paolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237672890540743426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213198383136515329.post-12458463515381379652014-06-13T05:08:12.767-07:002014-06-13T05:08:12.767-07:00Hi Victor (and Frank, i somehow missed his post :)...Hi Victor (and Frank, i somehow missed his post :))<br /><br />In theory it should be very easy to run the viewer, as easy as running the bat file in the root directory, as it is shipped together with a portable python distribution that includes PyOpenGL.<br />Also, it does not require you to install python (even though you can have it installed, it wont interfere)<br /><br />Can you give me more details on what you tried that did not work?<br />Paolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237672890540743426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213198383136515329.post-18347366037545315272014-06-13T05:02:54.499-07:002014-06-13T05:02:54.499-07:00As Frank, I have problems on making the applicatio...As Frank, I have problems on making the application work.
