SLR app update ver. 9.0

The only piece of initial feedback I have was already mentioned by someone in another thread: 6 videos/thumbnails per page is far too few.

Having to constantly click "next page" is less than ideal and detrimental to the quality of the app & experience. That quantity should definitely be either higher or adjustable.

Agreed update 9.0 is very disappointing. Also performance was choppy, video thumbnails often did not load but maybe this is not caused by the new app. Would much prefer to go back to the old version.

This I only had during first launch after update. You?

Thank you for your feedback.
We're checking with devs to see what causes the the bugs in performance. And as for thumbnails we hear you, gonna make it adjustable, asap.

Sorry to hear that. We are definitely going to fix performance side of things as this update features some decent boost on the back end of things that should makes things smoother.
We are still streamlining UI. The idea was to fit content your FOV. I agree the scrolling is required in excess now. We will be releasing very advanced search.

It's also true that once one gets used to something and everything else would not be liked. Give it some time. We are definitely looking to improve things.

as the old adage goes. "if it ain't broke don't fix it" ... we should honestly just go back to the design of update 8.x

When the info dialog pops up the everything is fine. As soon as the dialog goes away the vr is bouncing all over and choppy. I am using oculus 2.

ande1650 that's a plan for the next iteration

I miss the toggle for my purchased scripts........ :-(
And I do not like the fact that there are only 6 previews per page....hate that.

Issues with latest update
1. All videos flickering jerky and unwatchable (including local saved videos)
2. The opening screen video preview is less/bad. More video thumbnails should be present. It looks like going back from 2K to old days of 640p.
3. When playing a video the performer name search is now more difficult. It was better when names and studio were displayed below (easy to search more video's of same performer or studio)
4. Record feature request for live cams if possible

Another issue I've come across using an Index w/ DeoVR: when playing downloaded scenes, there is roughly a 1/3 chance the scene will not load properly. It will only load a black screen with the menu bar, but the video will not start. If you back out from the video to the file folder and relaunch the same video it will eventually play, but sometimes that can take as few as 2-3 attempts and other times nearly a dozen attempts.

Was not something that came up at all until immediately after the new update.

Sorry if this was already mentioned somewhere else, hard to keep track.

Like many of you, I was having performance/stuttering issues with the new DeoVR and SLR App updates. In my case this was resolved by setting 'Direct Show' to on by default in the developer options. Not sure if this will help for different system configurations, but the videos are running smooth again for me.

The flat videos are very welcome. Is there any chance of putting them into catagories the same as the VR videos.
I have mentioned in another thread relating to ver 9 about the lack of indicating if you have favourited a video on the thumbnails. Its only shown by going into the video. As I explained I use this feature as a sort of bookmark to keep where I am upto next time I log in. Better still add a bookmark feature.

Two things which should be mentioned:

• The current SLR App Version keeps logging me out. Cannot say when this happens, but usually once per session. Session means: Browser RSS Feed check for new scenes and invoking SLR App from Browser. Sometimes first start i'm logged off. Sometimes after 5th or 10th scene i'm logged out.
• After invoking a scene, the first click on the seek bar set the slider at the end of the movie, thus exiting the scene. Please fix this: The UI focus should be catched by the current pointer position even on changing gui element(s).

Rakly3 turning on tracking completely fixed all issues with the new update for me. (Im on oculus quest 2)

This fixed my issues too. Thanks YasiinBey!
