Plz do not kill DLNA , think about adding SMB!

dexter313 Not all people can just stream.

Dexter makes an excellent point. I can stream where I live, but where I vacation where we have a lake house, the Internet is not fast enough to allow it. At these times I have to let a scene download for hours in order to enjoy it without halting or freezing up, and I bring a laptop, external disk with my best content and I absolutely rely on DLNA. SLRO 200 deg content only plays through DeoVR or SLR app. The other players like Skybox or Pigasus badly distort your original content. So how then are the bandwidth and speed challenged supposed to watch yours and other saved content if you remove this? Please listen to your community on this. Please think it through.

Not a single player inquired about getting these meshes.

doublevr I don’t mean disrespect. If you read through both of my posts and others you’ll see why this decision will be a devastating one. I hope you’re open to hearing us, or will offer a solution. Again, how are those with bandwidth caps and slower internet speeds supposed to consume content if DLNA is removed and downloaded content cannot be accessed? How are we supposed to watch your originals that are only compatible with your proprietary players when streaming is not available or an option at all?

doublevr but the difference here is that oftentimes the lifeblood of streaming, ie actual Internet, is not fast enough, not generous enough, or sometimes just not available at all. DLNA has always allowed me to get my fap on even if Comcast goes down, and Comcast often goes down!!

doublevr I never had to use DLNA in my life.

A lot of people live in areas with subpar service. You can’t expect people to just up and move. Or start picketing their local providers to revamp the infrastructure because they need a wank. Never going to work. I think you’ll be surprised how many people you’ll be impacting here.

We’ve gone beyond simple DLNA here. Now we’re talking about download ability itself. Streaming will never be a universal ability until the planet is blanketed with geosynchronous satellites providing affordable consistent and fast service. Don’t see that happening anytime soon.

doublevr We are committed to community

Obviously false if this is the future of SLR. Or your just ignorant to the importance of the dlna feature itself. You don't know how vital dlna is to Q2 and VR users who want to keep a physical copy of media they purchased through your site. DLNA on deo is the only option to play downloaded scripts and scenes on Quest 2.. Streaming does not work for everyone in all areas. People pay and were offered to sub to download a physical copy of your scene and scripts.. Especially after this giant purge and editing of content recently why wouldn't people download videos SLR might delete or alter in the future.. When I signed up the key feature that made me buy into the premium+ was the ability to download videos and keep 3 scripts monthly as described by your own terms and fup.. You can't just alter your sign on terms willy nilly and expect happy compliance from the consumer.. I didn't make a fuss or look to pursue a case for a refund when you shadily changed your sign on terms from 50 downloads in 72 hours to 30.. But I will pursue a case for breach and be refunded in full if you follow through on this. Do not drop dlna.

doublevr bet all over Europe you get 100Mbps

This is not the case in many rural parts of the United States. I think you’ll find that you have more subscribers that do not enjoy the bandwidth speeds you mention, than actually do. Unlimited 100Mbps+ service is not as common as you might think.

Anyway, I’m now just repeating my points so I’ll let others weigh in. @doublevr, I appreciate that you stay engaged in this forum and respectfully ask that you be open to the many protests you’re going to see when others become aware of this thread and the potential direction you’re considering here.

You could just say flat out that in the future you're planning to be a streaming service only. Let me guess, you cant DL the scenes soon neither, or you'll have to buy them individually in order to do so? I'm sorry, but the tech isnt even close to being there yet, so the only thing you'll be doing is losing customers.

Also your own experience of never using dlna is not the customer research you may think it is. It's good to have visions and so on, but I think all youre doing is pissing of the existing customers with this.

Hunky-Dory Also the new UI is a massive step backwards, far to big, and it needs resolution, zoom, tilt on the main controls and popup for all other image options, and maybe an option to change the opacity of the UI to make it slighty see thru - but i won't hold my breath.

The idea is that everything could be programmed with controllers. You don't need a menu for that.
