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.
g2kbuffetboy I will say I think the chapter points for all the diff positions (cowgirl, doggy, etc) is REALLY slick.
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:
In other words, I'm still SOL =(
most just complain about the bad handling with new ui (and that's absolut true)... but how about performance... ?!?
did really nobody notice the absolute poor performance we get since new ui was released...
switching to deovr (V 10.3) fixed all these problems for me...
runs like a charm with deovr...
i can understand the ui changes and that there may be functions introduced in future updates, old ui would'nd be able to handle...
so ok, give new ui a try (but please as option not as default)
BUT why we get that poor performance ??? from just a ui change
bl00dymary I haven't noticed any difference in performance, what specifically are you talking about?
Like i wrote in my 1 post...
Skipping throught a local stored vid, is very slow (delayed) now.
It now takes nearly 3sek to get playback again after randomly skipping throught vids.
Never had this with old UI nor with DeoVR
Skipping throught got me instant (no delay) playback...
Just test a couple of 7k/8k vids...
yes, thats exactly what i try to have the app/design team a look at...
the new ui's LAG is more bothering than it's new look....
so PLEASE DESIGNTEAM have a look at this
bl00dymary Thx. Working on that. Design team @[deleted] and @Sandi_SLR will follow up shortly
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] Then roll back to the previous version until the existing player is "finished". I work in software, specifically Senior UI/UX and this is literally hot garbage you put out. You took usability down like 5 notches. This feels like "changing things for the sake of changing things" instead of quality improvement. I mean even if you don't think about the options changes, it's still now twice as big as it needs to be (ratio-wise). Do the RIGHT thing and revert your code, and wait to push the UI updates when it's more fleshed out "in the following months". Like I get that some butthurt product owner might fight against reverting because they like seeing progress happen, but that's for their ego not the customers sake. The customer's are making it clear that you make a horrific UI change. Just tested again, if i'm looking downward at all, and need to seek, i now either have to reposition the UI where I can't see the video behind it, or dig my chin into my chest to reach the seek bar. WHAT GIVES
THX for not just destroying 1 but 2 vr players.
With all the negative feedback for new ui you guys thought would be a great idea to also release that bulls... update to deovr player... really???
With todays deovr update we have turned 2 of best vr players out there to nearly useless garbage... thx...
Sorry but i really can't believe whats going on there.
It's ok to destroy you slrapp... but why we have to go that way even for deovr...
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.
justsomedude101 Major updates are always going to be messy
only messy when forcing your entire user base to beta test awful changes
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.
doublevr lmao "it's important to get things going and fix on the fly" that single statement says more about your lack of knowledge on UI/UX design than anything else. Take your ego down like 5 notches, accept that you pushed out a bad redesign, and roll it back.
Please excuse me if I step on anybody's toes.
Change for just changing is pointless. The new design makes it more difficult for most of us to access the functions we use most frequently.
And what is the benefit? I'm not experiencing a benefit from the redesign. Is anyone?
That we can make some of the adjustments through controllers is not a benefit, it's an excuse for the failure of the new design.
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.
