Requirements:
https://github.com/google/spatial-media/releases/tag/v2.1
https://www.python.org/downloads/
Instructions:
extract and run the exe file

make sure “My video is spherical (360)” is checked
click “Inject metadata” and choose a path for the new video
click save
have fun
This looks great and I want to try it but I do not see any exe file in the download. In one of the readme files it mentions you can download PyInstaller to make an exe but I get a syntax error in Python when I try to run PyInstaller within Python. I know absolutely nothing about Python so that’s probably my biggest problem…
not sure which file are you downloading.
you need to download this one
here’s a direct link https://github.com/google/spatial-media/releases/download/v2.1/360.Video.Metadata.Tool.win.zip
after downloading the zip file you need to extract it and follow the instructions.
I see what I did. My dumb ass clicked on source code. Thanks for the help.
This worked great, thanks for sharing!
Magic… Time to uninstall Whirligig. Thanks for sharing!
Just one concern - is it safe to delete the original video file? I hope this operation won’t cause any compatibility issue or modify the video in any way.
glad it’s working for you.
not sure about compatibility issues but it modifies the metadata nothing more.
Any way to make this work with Media Player Classic BE?
You can’t do Funscripts with VLC unfortunately
i tried but didn’t work sadly…
you probably use Handycontrol but to solve the problem you have you can use Scriptplayer

Will try thank you!
i’m downloading a 4k vr video from eporner, it works after i inject. but the video is blurry and the screen is small
Share the link you are using. I’ve had great results using this injector. Sometimes you have to zoom in or out to find the right aspect ratio but for 2D viewing of VR videos, its a lot easier than whipping out the VR headset every time.

here is the link i use. i am also not sure how to zoom in? would that be done in vlc?
when opening the injected file, you can click and drag the video to pan around and then scroll up and down on the mouse wheel to zoom in and out.
it is not allowing me to scroll to zoom for some reason, is it due to the nature of eporner vr videos?
never mind i am very stupid this works!
I’ve been trying to get this to work with several different videos now, but it doesn’t seem to work. Anything I’m doing wrong?
what are you doing exactly?
nvm, have a different solution already
There are several videos that won’t work with Spatial Media Metadata Injector or VR180 Creator.
Here’s a tip:
If a video is giving you trouble, run it through ffmpeg but copy both the audio and video codecs. This will leave the actual video and audio the same but result in a file that metadata injectors will accept.
I’m not sure what part of the original files are messing with the process. But copying the codecs over to a fresh file is lightning fast and solves the issue, no need to find an alternative source or spend hours re-encoding.
