so why the backflip on this?
DLNA is getting back to SLR app during this week
spacepirate fresh ideas came in. The power of brainstorming
I don't talk much in chat but would like to say a big thank you that slr will compromise and hopefully keep this feature, unfortunately I can only speak for myself and hope it will reassure many critical people, basically we all just want the same thing , good films with great scripts at a fair price so thanks to the slr team.
Thank yall for keeping this feature! This is the best way for me to use scripts, definitely don't mind keeping my subscription if it means I can use DLNA. thanks again
doublevr Awesome to hear
doublevr
My respect for finally listening to the feedback and standing up for your own misconception! Kudos!
And late Happy Easter.
Really pleased to see this, thanks SLR team!
It was a bad idea to remove it. That's like a movie company saying okay now we're going to turn off all your blue ray players so that you can only watch movies in the theaters. You were definitely your own worst enemy with that removal idea.
GoodIdeaBadIdea I agree. Really poor research, bad decision making and communication on my end. Fixing it up now
doublevr will payingv customers who's had a subscription will be able to use it? Or will it be locked behind a continuous pay wall?

@doublevr
I think this thread should be pinned to the top for a little while...
Might be even worth sending out a newsletter with this information for all ex-subscribers who already cancelled their sub and don't read the forum or reddit or whatever.
What is DLNA ?
@doublevr will the premium access on the SLR app be a 1 time fee? Or will it be a recurring pay wall that users who want to access content they paid for via Subscription to SLR.com also have to pay to continue to use the app?
I'm okay with a 1 time fee for a polished vr viewing app that has what I need. What the community doesn't want is another recurring subscription fee they are forced to pay monthly just to access the content they're already paying for.
Has DLNA been added back to the SLR app already?

Officially it's the acronym for Digital Living Network Alliance
But I like to call it Direct Local Network Access as it is more descriptive of what it actually is
It's a way to access media files on your network that is file-system independent. Meaning it doesn't matter if its FAT NTFS Ext and whatnot. (Windows, linux, iOS/MAC OS, arm, x86, 32bit, 64bit.... and so on) and cross subdomains.
SMB on the other hand is much easier to use, but you must use compatible file-systems. And I think has to be on the same subdomain also.
oh, and if you wonder what it's actually used for with our apps. Its so you can access VR content stored on other devices at home. - It's also a lot easier to hide a DLNA than SMB if you don't want any one to know about it.
