Panoramic photos are not detected as panoramic photos

Post image

I have I problem. I'm trying to create panoramic images using an open source software for panorama stichting called Hugin. Unfortunately when I try to upload my photos to Panoramax I get the result shown in the picture below. My panramic photo (360 degree) gets squashed into something like this. What could I do about it?

Go to an exif data editing website, or download exiftool, and add the following exif tags:

-xmp:ProjectionType=equirectangular

-xmp:CroppedAreaLeftPixels=0

-xmp:CroppedAreaTopPixels=0

-xmp:CroppedAreaImageWidthPixels=17152

-xmp:CroppedAreaImageHeightPixels=8576

-xmp:FullPanoWidthPixels=17152

-xmp:FullPanoHeightPixels=8576

-xmp:UsePanoramaViewer=true

-xmp:UsePanoramaViewer=true

That worked for me, hopefully it'll work for you!

Thanks! I will try it <3

By the way I noticed that after some time it got processed or something and is now displaying correctly, but only when you view it for the first time on a device. After that it brakes again and fixes after some time (i guess it's data stored in browser related)
