Description
Description:
- A-Frame Version: 0.8.0
- Platform / Device: Desktop Chrome and Firefox
- Reproducible Code Snippet or URL:
The videosphere works fine in 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7. As soon as I upgrade this to 0.8.0, the video in the videosphere no longer shows up. Here's the error that I get:
core:a-assets:warn Asset loading timed out in 3000 ms
Here's the html stripped down to only have a videosphere.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- This works just fine in 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7 -->
<script src="https://aframe.io/releases/0.8.0/aframe.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<a-scene>
<a-assets id="assets">
<video id="wormhole-video" autoplay loop="true" src="./assets/videos/wormhole.mp4"></video>
</a-assets>
<a-videosphere id="video-player" src="#wormhole-video"></a-videosphere>
</a-scene>

Research direction
Start by reproducing the minimal HTML example with A-Frame 0.8.0 in Chrome or Firefox, then trace the a-assets timeout and videosphere loading path. Done means the supplied video loads and renders in the videosphere without the asset-loading timeout.
