Replay Mod Forums

I'm not completely sure if it's possible, but I believe I heard that some 360 video cameras automatically add the 360 metadata to videos so that they can be directly uploaded to YouTube.

I feel this would be a good feature as I have had many problems with some of the different tools already.

I agree this would be very handy. I am not sure though if it's possible. It could very well be though, I know ffmpeg can inject certain metadata such as titles but I don't know if it can inject the whole spherical data thing.
Although, there is a python API for Minecraft and there is a python script to inject the right metadata into a video file so that YouTube can recognize it as 360. Perhaps someone with more brain cells than me can put the two together and automate it. Perhaps, it could even be built into the mod directly. The devs would need to comment on that though.

Java should be able to accomplish this by itself, but I guess you could execute a python script from the mod code if you were lazy. But Java should be able to just open the file once ffmpeg is done and inject the right data.

I'll have a look into creating a Render Preset to automatically inject the metadata.
Can't promise anything, though. I'll keep you updated.

This has been added and will be available once a new version is released.
