good evening,
i made a virtual tour which works fine on pc in every browser.

on iphone and ipad there only some panoramas work. some others there is a error message that there is an error and the website has to be loaded new - and jumps back to the former website. (android/chrome it works fine)

the only different in between the panoramas which are working and the others which does not isthat the "bad ones" have picture hotspots.

knows anyone this problem?

thank you,
wiso

Hi wiso,
New one on me.
How large are your popup images?
Make a copy of the project file and in the cop delete the image hotspots.
Does it then work?
If so can you send me some of your pictures.
Regards,
Hopki

Might be a performance issue.
Had this recently with a tour that has video hotspots where the nodes with those hotspots will crash and restart the browser on my iPhone.
On my iPad mini 4 these work though.

hallo again,

i tried the following:

first i saw that there was a big photo with 4000 kb included. i downsized it. now i have 5 photos with apr. 400kb each for the photo hotspots.

but did not work - browser on iphone and ipad crashed.

then i converted all photo hotspots to png. but dthe same, did not work.

then i deleted all picture hotspot - that works ...

what can i do to show the site on ios correctly?

best regards
wiso

Hi wiso,
Can you send me your complete project as I not having any problems with this and I know if this was an issue with Pano2VR I would be getting lots of complaints.
Send to support@ggnome.com
Go to the help menu and support package, make sure you select input images and skin.

Hi wiso,
Found that the pinned images have been added to Pano2VR with the wrong size setting.
Example: Gruppe3_Gesetzexx.jpg, its actual size is 992 x 702px.
The size that has been set in Pano2VR for this image is: 4,961 x 3,508px.
All your pinned images are the same with the size way larger then the image.
This is why its crashing mobile devices.

Select the pinned image in the image viewer mode and set the size to the actual size of the image.
You need to do this with all pinned images.

Also you have pictures in the skin that you have left as default type which is PNG.
Example: image_adler.png which is 3.6MB in the images folder.
Once set to JPEG and published the image is changed to 634KB with no visible difference.

Images with transparency are the only ones that should use PNG, but pictures with many colours should be JPEG.
This will cut down file size and load times.

Hopki

thank you hopki,
i learn more and more about the programm...

the difference of the two sizes occured probably that i made the first design with big pictures and replaced them afterwords with smaller ones...

thank you for your help,
best regards,
