Ive been trying to get a VR View setup on my page following the examples and such at https://developers.google.com/vr/concepts/vrview , the image i'm using is a cardboard camera 'photo' copied from my device, but i've also used a regular jpg version just to be sure. No matter what i try when the widget loads it only ever shows the error message Render: Unable to load Texture from image.jpg I've also noticed a bunch of tutorial or example site having the same issue that i assume they didn't have when they first posted the pages. Does anyone have a clue why its doing this and how to fix it? The

I'm trying to find out if the "VR mode" with two eye splitview of some YouTube 360 videos can also be called via a parameter or via the API? Right now when playing back a #360 video on my iPhone I'm able to move around in 360 degrees but the splitview is not an option.

Is it possible to trigger this splitview mode also from the iPhone or if a #360 video is embedded into a website with a parameter or via the API?
