SLR app update ver. 9.0
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!

FredFeinbein Can you check if logging out only happens when backing out of a video rather than skipping to the next video? Doesn't mean it happens every time you back out, just if that somehow triggers it.
Thanks!

In my case, the app does not load. When I open it, at first I see the SLR icon, then the circle like loading and then absolutely nothing happens, it just stucks at that point and does not do nor load any other thing.

I have tried it in a Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite with MIUI 12.1.5 and it works fine, but not in Android One.
Also, the toggle to "free hands" mode doesn't work either.
turning on the sensor guards solved the flickering problem
i will try that...the guards are a pain in the ass in the dark now just need to find out where to get that done
The bugs in performance are from DeoViewer, which has the same problem. Microsoft removed the HEVC video codec from base installs and now charges .99 cents for it on the Microsoft Store. I downloaded the HEVC extension from microsoft but this didn't fix the issue. Something in DeoViewer's latest upgrade is causing problems with the HEVC codec. Even when I have the codec, performance is as if its not there. If you look down this lane, I'm sure you'll find the solution to the issue. It's not something users can fix. This is why VLC player works, because it comes with the codec out of the box and uses it appropriately unlike Deo.
Also unable to enable hands free mode here. On 9.02, Android. I seem to remember the same thing happening the last time there was a major update as well.
