Description

mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsQUZMKUxqA

If you watch this 360 video on YouTube, then you can twist it.
Through mpv it is played back giving a picture from all cameras at once, without understanding what to do with it.
I want mpv to be able to work with panoramic 360 videos and to be able to scroll them with the mouse in the same way as on YouTube.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior with the linked YouTube 360 video in mpv and compare it with YouTube's interactive viewing. Investigate how mpv currently handles panoramic video rendering and mouse input. Done means 360 video is displayed as an interactive view that can be rotated or scrolled with the mouse.
