Google VR video doesn't load

Question

I'm using Google VR View for the web to load in a 360 video. But when I load the video, it says Error, Render: video load error: [object event]

This is what the console shows:

When I load the example video from Google's url, it works like a charm: https://storage.googleapis.com/vrview/examples/video/congo_2048.mp4

This is the code I'm using (with the same video, but stored on my site):

<div id="vrview"></div>

<script src="//storage.googleapis.com/vrview/2.0/build/vrview.min.js"></script>

<script>
    window.addEventListener('load', onVrViewLoad)
    function onVrViewLoad() {
        var vrView = new VRView.Player('#vrview', {
            video: 'video/congo.mp4',
            is_stereo: true 
        });
    };
</script>

[Edit] Even with the full link to the video on my domain, the video still doesn't work.

[Edit 2] This is the file structure:

• css
• img
• js
• video
  • congo.mp4
• index.html

Thanks for helping me out!

EDIT:

Set CORS headers - see http://enable-cors.org/server.html for server specific details

Answer 2

Use two required parameters (width, height), then it works well without setting CORS headers.

However, I am now struggling to solve similar problem in the case of handling local or youbute 360 video. i.e. I can run just a provied example file but not real 360 files. Do you have any progress?

cf link. http://vcml.cafe24.com/humble.php

    window.addEventListener('load', onVrViewLoad);

    //It works
    function onVrViewLoad() {

      var vrView = new VRView.Player('#vrview', {
    	width: '100%',
    	height: 600,
    	video: 'http://storage.googleapis.com/vrview/examples/video/congo_2048.mp4',
    	
    	is_stereo: true,
      });
      
      //Now I'm struggling. Not working
      var vrView1 = new VRView.Player('#vrview1', {
    	width: '100%',
    	height: 600,
    	
    	video: 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/OkLa7jkFXpU',
    	//video: 'http://vcml.cafe24.com/video.mp4',
    	
    	is_stereo: false,
      });
    }

Do not use this script <script src="//storage.googleapis.com/vrview/2.0/build/vrview.min.js"></script>,You have use <script src="vrview-master/build/vrview.js"></script> from the sample zip file.
