  • DLNA is getting back to SLR app during this week

framzess
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.

    A big thank you to doublevr and the SLR team to restore the DLNA in DeoVR.I am your fan for life.

    Even better, perhaps fix the thumbnails with XBVR???

    What a coincidence.. I just found out about this XBVR 🙂
    I'm trying to display timestamps/chapters while streaming via DLNA, and even XBVR can't do it.
    It shows the actors, video description, and everything else, just not the timestamps.
    And all of that info is inside the same JSON file with a bunch of other stuff!

    BursVR I still use skybox for my samba connection, works great still 👍
    They added a YouTube log in too, pretty good updates compared to its early beginnings. Still needs work tho, needs more improvements.👍

        Vrsumo2017 I know Skybox is a great app, but it's not available for my Pico4 (and I want a standalone app instead of the Steam version).

            BursVR my Pico4

            Ah man bro, I emailed them to ask if they going on Pico they said no, idk why not, like wth bro 🤦‍♂️

            I bet if enough users emailed them the suggestion they will add it to Pico.

            Love the Pico 4 bro 🤜🤛
