MediaSource API and 360-VideoDome?

Questions
1

Has anyone accomplished media buffering of a 360-videoDome?

I have very large 4k-video files which take forever to load. Instead of waiting around for an entire file, I’d like to load an initializer segment, start playing, and then load remaining video-segments in the background.

I am wondering if I might create a mediaSource object, generate a mediaSource URL, and then buffer video segments to improve 360-videoDome load time.

Is this a reasonable application?

It seems really reasonable considering the videoDome documentation:

Hi Nejurgis,

Unfortunately, I moved to a new grad-school before finishing this part of the project. However, there are others still working on it, so maybe they made progress(?).

Would you like me to follow up?

Best,
MM
