In order to avoid cross domain issue, please keep the code and video with in same domain. videojs-panorama use canvas and put video as resources, so it should be at same domain. Detail, please see: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/36725

If you really want to use with in different domain, here are two solutions. If you have more good solutions, please let me know.

In order to avoid cross domain issue, we need to put video player inside iframe. However, mobile acceleration and fullscreen will not working on iframe. You need to set it up manually. Please check iframe.html and iframe-video.html for detail, it's a example let mobile acceleration and fullscreen functionality work on iframe.

please make sure to add crossorigin="anonymous" attribute in video tag. Like

        <video id="videojs-panorama-player" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" poster="assets/poster.jpg"  crossorigin="anonymous" controls>
            <source src="assets/shark.mp4" type='video/mp4'>
        </video>

On server side, you have to set cross origin header, like Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *.

Sometimes, video need to be resized, like fullscreen the video. For performance, this plugin doesn't handle resize automatically. But it's easy to handle on your side. Here's the example.

var player = window.player = videojs('videojs-panorama-player', {}, function () {
    window.addEventListener("resize", function () {
        var canvas = player.getChild('Canvas');
        canvas.handleResize();
    });
});

In some cases, you get the video like below.

You don't have to use tools to convert video to equirectangular video, you can use this plugin to play directly.

There are two cases for fisheye video. One case is the camera took from top to bottom. You may need to restrict user only view the bottom half of the sphere

player.panorama({
    maxLat: -10,
    initLat: -10,
    rotateX: -Math.PI,
});

Another case is the camera took from bottom to top.

player.panorama({
    minLat: 10,
    initLat: 10,
    rotateX: 0,
});
