Controlling the Playback of 360 Videos

Postby varpness » January 4th, 2015, 3:54 pm

Does anyone know a method for controlling a 360 video? I've tried the touchpad as well as a controller but I cannot figure out how to fast forward or rewind a video. Is it possible or does this feature need to be added?

Works only in Milk VR so far.

Is it possible to transfer videos into Milk VR, or do they have to be placed into the 360Videos directory only?

According to this thread you can put your own videos in Milk VR but it seems you have to edit a text file for them to work.

Thanks, I've been experimenting with that, with much success. Now I just have to figure out how to store the files on an external sd card. I'm guessing I can use the parameters in the json file but ideally I'd like to use separate SD cards: one for the downloaded Milk videos and one for any videos I add myself.
