# AIXF Media360 — Q&A
Q: What counts as a “360° image”?
A: Standard equirectangular panorama (2:1 aspect). Examples: 4096×2048 or 8192×4096 JPG.
Q: Do I have to edit templates?
A: No core edits. The add-on ships a template modification that injects the mount and loader into the XFMG media view.
Q: Does it support XenAddons Showcase?
A: Not in this release. If there’s interest, we’ll add a safe auto-mount mode for Showcase item pages.
Q: Does it read GPano/XMP to detect 360s?
A: Not yet. Current detection uses aspect ratio (~2:1). If your camera writes GPano EXIF, that will be supported in a future update.
Q: My image is 4000×2000 but still doesn’t activate.
A: Increase the tolerance (
Q: Can I turn off auto-rotate?
A: Yes. Set
Q: Can I change the default zoom?
A: Yes. Adjust
Q: Performance concerns?
A: The viewer initializes only on media pages and only when a pano is detected. For very large images (8K), initial decode is the heavy part. If needed, we can add lazy-activation and multires tiling in a later update.
Q: Which licenses are the demo panos under?
A: Use your own images or CC0/allowed sources (e.g., tonemapped JPGs from HDRI sites). Always verify the license for the specific file you upload.
Q: How do I report issues?
A: Include a screenshot of the Console (look for

A: Increase the tolerance (
data-ratio-tolerance="0.08"). Also verify the actual image URL served to the page isn’t a resized thumbnail.Q: Can I turn off auto-rotate?
A: Yes. Set
data-autorotate="0" (or use the ACP option if you exposed one).Q: Can I change the default zoom?
A: Yes. Adjust
