hi, @Svendus ,
this video plays only in 1080s (HD) at my place, are you sure it’s 5.7k?
I’ve fiber internet 200-300mbps stable international download speed and ~100mbps upload, able to play 8k videos without issues. As I know anything above 4k is coming as vp9 from google for sure, but even those lower resolutions are transcoded to vp9…
Regarding viewing h265 directly in Edge: it work sonly if there is a hardware decoder available on that machine, if it’s not then it doesn’t play, regardless of browser.

Yes you are right on a PC you need K-Lite_Codec_Pack
on a Mac it installs automatically 
if you read my message
Image width 5760
Frame height 2880
Original file size 1,54 GB (1 655 143 886 byte)
Length 01min05sek
is a 5.7 K Video
it is Sunday let us se to morrow if Google finish the job
Here is an old one in 5.7K shot with my Garmin 360 camera 30 may 2018
This video 5.7K were shot in RAW with a Gamin VIRB 360 Camera
Stitched, Edited and rendered in Garmin VIRB Edit
I Wonder if it has any meaning Shooting 5.7 K raw Video
All rigth the Computer can Handle it and Stritch and render the Video in VIRB Edit in 1:2 +
The time consuming are there for 4 times longer than a ready stritched 4K 1:1 rendering
The latest Firefox has great difficulties to play 5.7 K
Note: here the Latest VIRB Edit for Windows software version 5.4.2 are not compatible with the latest Microsoft Windows 10
Version 1803 (OS-version 17134.48) but has to be run in Windows 8 compatibility mode to prevent heavy blue screen crashes

On the first video, I believe YouTube did not encode your file as 4K or higher. I believe the maximum viewable is 2K as indicated by @biviel
Does the encoding to 4K take more than 24 hours?
On the 2nd video with the “Vertical Woodsplitter”, I can see the 5K option even at low bandwidth from my house.
On the 2nd video with the 5K options (Vertical Woodsplitter), the bitrate for the 5K file on the YouTube server is only 12Mbps, which is lower than the bitrate for the 4K file.
Is it possible to upload a 2GB video file in 360 to a Facebook Group or Page and share it that way?
Working in 5K
Is there more information on this? Does it mean that PC users need to install the Codec pack below?
You need the codec when you streem 5.7K and higher from a webpage or server
we are not alone it migt be a temporary bug on the Google server
several reports have been on Facebook groups with this problem

Thanks. It’s good to not be alone. 
I uploaded 5 videos and 3 of the five got encoded to the proper resolution.
This one 6 minutes long, exported from Premiere Pro from 5 clips combined together. I wish the process was more repeatable.
Resolution at 5K, but at reduced bitrate which makes the frames grainier than the original. However, I’m just happy that it got encoded above 2K.
my test yesterday only shows up in 1080p
but 4k rendering are finished in the settings it must be a bug !
this video are an 8K test on my MC channel
The video are stitched in Insta360 Studio 2020 Bg. Music: Yiddish Dance Cyber Link Power Director Custom size 7680x3840 8K Recorded in 5.7 K Edited in Cyber Link Power Director18 (64-bit) Rendered with a custom build template 7680x3840 Video Length 00:03:20 7680x3840 8K Data rate 35268 kbit / s Frame rate 29.97 frames / second Sound Bit rate 128 kbit / s 48,000 kHz channels 2 (stereo)
only about half of the videos I uploading are transcoded to 5K or 4K. There does not seem to be consistency in which ones are transcoded to 5K.
The video on your MC channel looks fantastic. I would love to go fishing in that area.
I would also love to be able to uploading 5K and 8K videos to YouTube consistently now (likely in the March 2022 timeframe).

This is fantastic. However, it’s also a few years old. Are you able to consistently upload video over 4K now?
I just uploaded another 5.7K video last night and it is still only 2K. It’s been about 18 hours since I uploaded the video.
@craig No not lately actually i think we should report the bug to Google
To Day i am more into Virtual tours i think Multi Resolution Panoramas are muck more informative
and requires much less bandwidth see this example from THE Chernobyl Reaktor
https://svendus.se/blog/?p=3333#.YiB6nJZwE08
The Tschernobyl Reactor tour is awesome. Thanks for posting it.
I think that the virtual tours might be too difficult for many people as I believe it takes more skills to take the picture and then arrange the tour. Are there any automated software that automatically takes video at 8K and automatically makes still image virtual tours from it?
You’re using Pano2VR, right? Or GoThru?
For my purposes, I am hoping to write a guide to help people use the 5.7K video from the THETA X. As the camera has this higher resolution video, I would like to help people share the videos that they take with the camera.
Does Facebook or any other site allow the free sharing of 5.7K and higher video for free? It seems like the best way to get people to start sharing is if the service is free. Most people probably want to try and share clips first and improve their technique before they pay for a service.
Yes you have a point there but if YouTube to day have stopped rendering 5,7 and 8K in higher resolution than 1080p do to lack off server space
you have to go for paid solutions
here a THETA X cost over 1000$
and now with removable batterie and SD card i think it’s not classed consumer camera any longer
Yes i use Pano2VR
the Pano2vr player can manage 360 Video in 4K 20mbs we have experimented with 5.7 K but it only played in EDGE browser
this example tour are made in Pano2VR

the streaming are created for higher connection speed, but click on the play button to pause play and the video vill buffer in the background
the virtual tour are posted on My web space in Copehagen Server connection @ 50 Gegabit/s here it playes with no buffering on 250 - 500 mb/s connections
You do really good work. Do you do this professionally? Did the historical site pay you to build the site? Or, are you volunteering to help your community?
Is it this place?

the virtual tour 2016
are shot with my THETA S
there you find a google map icon
right click the panoramas for more information
@craig No payment it is very few that are interested and are willing to pay here in Sweden
to be able to embed a Google map in Pano2VR
you need Your own Google API key
The 2018 Tour are shot with the Garmin VIRB 360
and are the loading images you see in the 360 Vidio tour 2018
you drag these Spheres into Pano2VR as a preview before you ad the 360 Video

Beautiful work. Hopefully, the market for these types of complex 360 sites will improve in Sweden. I think it does help with the promotion of places. It is popular here in California for hotels, shops, and other places.
Maybe you can make it popular in Sweden and be a leader in the movement.
