Please bring old UI back

Rakly3
Honestly that is just human nature, humans just don´t like to adjust to new things ans want to keep everything as they are used to.

Although I have to say, many things of the new UI are just objectively worse, if you need more steps to achieve the same thing you need to justify with some gains elsewhere, like getting a simpler less cluttered UI.
But the new UI is actually worse in all ends, some things are hidden behind several steps, and instead of making it simpler and less cluttered in the front it actually is way cluttered and so big you can not even recognize everything at first glance, so in the end we got it worse on all ends.

doublevr Otherwise feel free to program your controller

I actually wasn't aware I could do this! I will try this tonight and report back.

I will say I think the chapter points for all the diff positions (cowgirl, doggy, etc) is REALLY slick.

I don't want to get too off topic, but is there any way that you can incorporate the screenshots (trickplay) when hovering the playhead over the timeline for offline downloads as well? When I stream via SLR, I like how it shows the preview image.

doublevr My strongest argument in favor of design is that everything could be programmed with controllers.

This is similar to using hotkeys on a keyboard vs clicking buttons on a UI with a mouse. Hotkeys are way more efficient if you've bothered to learn the mappings but there will always be a huge number of people that don't use them and prefer to click buttons instead.

I can think of a combos to get the best view for some positions I guess. We can have those in presets and activate with a button or controller mapping. Let me think about it.

I don't see any features coming for the local playback as it's a hell of work and most don't even appreciate it.

Howdy friend. =)

Okay, so I tried mapping the playback speed adjustments last night to my Xbox controller (I use SLR app on PC), There are two issues with this:

1. The playback speed does not change by 25/50/75% increments like before. It changes as much as decimal points and not by increments but by the length of time (in milliseconds) the button is depressed. It's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get it back to 100%. And there is no reset button. Say I want to see just a few parts in slow mo, and then I want to revert back to normal playback. At this point, I still have to open up the secondary menu, change the playback speed, go back to the normal menu and then continue on. It's very frustrating.
2. The control mapping does not work in local playback mode. When pressing the same buttons on the controller that I programmed, nothing happens...

In other words, I'm still SOL =(

bl00dymary I haven't noticed any difference in performance, what specifically are you talking about?

Rakly3 of course not No one that actually uses the site on their phone had anything to do with the mobile version of the site - app is the same way. It’s probably all outsourced anyhow.

Hey blaze466
Info the round button left of the player. Should include some pictures too now
Playlists you have on the right.

Thanks for all your reply guys. Due to small team and unity limitations we can't always push things through how we want them to. The player is not in it's final stage and there will be more updates in the following weeks/months.

We'll make sure easier access to playback/zoom is on top of that list

[deleted] it's important to get things going and fix on the fly.

bl00dymary I don't disagree, I have personal issues with the new version of the app too. But it's also important to realize that app development is very much an ongoing thing and takes time, and I'm sure the Deo team is aware of some of the feedback they've been getting and are taking it into account.

But again, it just takes some time. Major updates are always going to be messy until gradual smaller updates happen and they become better. Just how pretty much every type of app development works across the world of tech.

spacepirate I mean...yeah. That's literally the purpose of a beta test, to see how the app works in the real world with users. But I agree that the devs should have obviously gotten some better feedback on a smaller scale before releasing.

I'm not trying to argue that the new update is great. It's obviously not, the issues are abundant and the responses here and on reddit have been pretty critical.

But I also remember old versions of Deo, for example when they first rolled out script compatibility or with the original 9.0 update (I think it was 9.0? Maybe it was earlier...), and it was just a complete mess. But over time they made changes and it got better.

So bottom line for me is that I'll just be crossing my fingers for a couple weeks before I grab a pitchfork.

Glad I saw this thread. So far I’ve seen no update to my DeoVR app. Heading in this second to see if I can disable auto updates just in case. I rely on speed and tilt controls so sure as hell don’t want core functionality pushed steps away. I agree with the poster(s) that suggested QA and beta testing should happen within the team or with willing participants. But don’t push out a broken release, or refuse to rollback when there’s loud outcry from the customer base. I work in software product management side of a Fortune 100 company. That’s just basics.
