Please help.
Ok heres what happening.
In a normal scenario, when you are at the Photos and Videos TF3D tab, you can see the pics and videos that you taken. For eg, you took 3 pics and 2 videos and another 3 pics. So the first 3 pics should be in order of 1/8, 2/8, 3/8.
Then the next 2 vids are 4/8, 5/8 and so on. Right?
But I have encounter this problem,
When I'm at the Photos and Videos tab, while the pic is the first picture, its showing correctly at 1/8, BUT
when I'm nearing the video, it skipped the video and the total files become 6, instead of the initial 8. Get what I mean? And at this point in time, when I flick the picture to the next picture, no video files were displayed and it seems like I only have 5 picture files in it. But upon going to the Album view, my videos are STILL THERE!
I sincerely hope I can get some help here as this is driving me crazy....
anyone, please?
Hey I just got my h5 and so far loving it. Has anyone gotten the 360 cam? I'm excited to get it but have a question on it. How does the process for sharing the photos work? If I were to share it with an iOS device, do I share it like any other photo and they can see the 360 effect ?

No - sharing has been the biggest challenge with the camera. But I absolutely love the camera.
If you text it to them, or even email it, it almost always comes as a flat jpeg when opened on a mobile device or even desktop/laptop.
What I have taken to doing is to upload it to either Google Photos or Flickr, and then sharing direct links to the photos via text or email, but even then on iOS they have to tap the photo (or the 360 icon) to see it in it's full mode. It's a bit of a challenge and Android has an advantage on viewing these on mobile devices at the moment (especially if you share the link via Google Photos).
On a desktop/laptop, Google Photos or Flickr both look really nice and there is not much more work to be done by the end user. It's much more intuitive on a bigger screen.
Videos are also a challenge - you can upload them to Facebook without much issue. Youtube requires you to package them first before they can be viewed as 360.
It's definitely an early adopter problem and will probably get easier in time.
I'm still debating on getting it. I love the idea

Question about video length: I read in the manual that at highest video quality, time is limited to 20 minutes. However it also says that if it hits the maximum file size of 4 GB that it will continue recording in a new file. So is it possible to record longer than 20 minutes, and does it just break it into extra files?

That was not true of the original software, but I haven't tried if since the two updates. It was originally limited to just 20 minutes at a time, and then you had to hit record again.
But if it's in the manual that way now, I will try it again right now with the May 24th update and see what happens!
EDIT: Just to update, it did not roll into another file and continue recording. At 20 minutes (2.44 gb) it stopped recording and that was it (Software version R10510e).
OK, thanks for testing it out. Too bad, that is the one thing holding me up from buying one.
As long as there won't be a way to see pictures and videos without an online service, I won't buy it.
I haven't tried to share videos yet, but for the photos sphereshare.net is pretty cool. They have an Android app as well. I used my cam pretty heavily the first few days after I got it...Now it just sits. :-/
Video sharing remains an issue.
So far, the only way to get decent stitching is to download it from the 360cam wirelessly to the G5, then share that file.
Pulling the video off the microSD card from the 360cam, injecting the spatial metadata as instructed on this page:
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6316263
and uploading those results to youtube gives really sh*tty stitching.
Has any tried taking a photo/video from two of these next to each other and putting it into a 3D 360 file for use in VR headsets? I really don't understand the point of using a VR headset with a 2D image, even if it is 360 degrees.

You don't need to bother with any of that. Just upload the video to YouTube and wait for a few minutes after the processing has finished. the 360 video works very well with YouTube with no stitching.
EDIT: I checked for another firmware update today and there was one waiting.

Hmm, the ones I uploaded without the 360 mod never got converted. And the ones that had the mod had crappy stitching.
Maybe I need to wait longer for the non-modded version to get processed?

Only if you don't edit the video in youtube editor. If you want to upload the original video, it does just fine, but cutting the time of the video down or fixing potential shaking and it won't be recognized as 360. At least in my experience.
I just started using it as a dashcam, it's pretty neat the only issue i have right now is the 20 minute limit, gotta figure out a way to have it start a new recording after the 20 minutes.

Here's an attachment picture of the auto 'stitching' boundary done by Youtube. Not good at all, compared to what you view on the phone after downloading:
Now, this was recorded without the more recent firmwares, just the one it came with.
I just upgraded the more recent 10G version, so maybe that makes a difference to youtube.

That's what I mean. The YouTube stitching is awful (using their tool).
Yes, you have to wait for quite a long time for the YouTube conversion to happen automatically after you upload the file. The longer the video, the longer the wait.
EDIT: I have noticed that the stitching is much worse in poor light conditions. Bright light, no problems.
So, still no way to selh host his videos/photos in 360. No self hostable player ?
I mean, I host all my services on personal servers at home, and don't want to be dependant of youtube/wathever to host my videos.
Questions about video :
The video resolution, is it only 2k?
Can we record 1080p? If yes, is it also limited to 20 minutes?
Thanks
Anyone able to upload 360 picture directly to and have it show up properly?
Can't seem to be able to do it

Directly to what? I've been Hawaii this weekend and am giving my 360 cam a good break in... take pictures, transfer to phone, upload to Facebook flawlessly so far.
The gallery's auto-playing of the motion picture is driving me nuts as I flip through pictures after a shoot. I'm trying to hone into the details of the final shot to determine which one's I want to post process and publish but I have to wait for the motion to stop. The only work around I've found is to go out of the picture back to the gallery, and dive back into the next picture, and it doesn't auto-play on the first selection. I've looked in the play store for alternative galleries and gave up after testing a few.
I came from the Note 10+ and motion picture didn't play automatically in the gallery. I've started only turning on motion picture for times where I think I need extra frames, but I've already found myself missing some opportunities when I didn't think to turn it on.
Thanks in advance!

There's no option to disable that unfortunately.. It's a feature built directly into the app..

I was also wondering this. It wasn't like this on previous devices, you had to press the Motion Photo button for it to move, not just move by default. So now when I want to show someone a photo it first plays a short video clip instead, makes no sense.
We can disable the auto play.. Check this :

There is way. You need to enable Gallery Labs.
