I'm fascinated by the 360 videos on YouTube as of recently. I'd like to develop a sample Android application that can play a 360 video and be able to pan/swipe with it along with being able to use accelerator/gyroscope.
Few questions:
What file format is 360 video? Where can I download sample 360 video?
Is it even possible to use Android library to play 360 video? If so, what player would I need to use to "play" 360 video?
How can I handle pan/swipe for a 360 video played by the native player?
Is it possible to play an existing YouTube 360 video using Android native Player? And at the same time be able to handle pan/swype/gyro?
Please provide a code sample. Thanks!
360 Videos are just videos recorded by a 360 camera. What separates them from a normal video is just the meta data.
Use panframe library for Android/iOS.

I am working with Exoplayer to play youtube videos on android. But unable to control the speed and quality of the video. Is it possible to do that.
I want to display 360 degree video through webrtc in Android. Since an URI is not available for webrtc video streams, common players such as libvlc or exoplayer cannot be used. Only option i found is to add 360 video capability to webrtc's existing renderer. Is this the correct and only possible way to do this? If yes please guide me to implement the same.
I want to live stream a 360 video to my android app.
The main function of the app is to watch live 360 videos.
I tried using the YouTube API, but it does not work as it doesn´t render the video. I tried using the Google VRVideoView from the cardboard API. But it seems it can´t parse YouTube URI.
Is there any way I can do this? Or any alternative platform that supports 360 video steaming on mobile?
I have used Pan frame SDK to play 360 video in Android App. I have updated the complete source code in Github,

Please let me know if you find any issues.
By using VrVideoView we can play 360 video but my issue is that, we cannot put video controller such as (Previous,Next,Play,Pause) in Bi-rectangular View. So how we can add this controller in VrVideoView (If we can). And I found that we cannot play 360 video using GvrView. So i just want to add video controller in 360 video in Bi-rectangular view.
I want to put YouTube streaming video inside the app for Cardboard (for Android and iOS). I know the are plugins to do similar things such as "Easy Movie Texture" but they don't support YouTube streaming. I've found "Youtube Video Player" inside Unity Asset Store but I'm not entirely sure that it will work with CardboardMain.prefab (I mean properly splitting 360 video for two screens).
Please help with this issue.
Thanks.
You can do that using Easy Movie texture with Youtube Video Player you can get the just pass the result of Youtube Video Player to Easy Movie Texture video path, and will works like a charm :)
