dojimmy You mean the MX200 files? Pretty sure that's been a thing for a lot longer than a few months to be fair, it's just the 200 degree FOV or lens type w/e, there's VRCA220 too. I've seen that note of those files playing better in SLR/DeoVR for a lot longer than a few months. For a while it was true only SLR supported that lens/FOV format because they started using it for SLRoriginals I think but Heresphere added support to all sorts of lenses and FOVs.

As for the other things... I've just read some more about it, does look like the usual shenanigans and it's getting tiresome. =/

      justsomedude101 Nope
      but actually yes !

      I tried downloading a video again today and was once again limited to 6mb/s, then i thought i'd try a VPN and as if by magic i could actually download at speeds lot closer to what my connection is capable of at 85mb/s !

      turned off a VPN again and my download speeds were once again down to 6mb/s !

      so i guess someone at SLR decided to limit download speeds on my current IP address, amazing.

      you guys are really special

          SuckNickname You may want to look into whether your ISP is throttling you, especially if the VPN does the trick to bypass the throttling issue. My spidey senses are telling me that your mind is already made up that it's us throttling you, but worth looking into the above. Could also be that the specific server you're being routed to is under heavy load, and with VPN you're able to bypass that. Lot of options.

              Aerowen They probably want to push their own product DeoVR. Bad move, since Heresphere is better in any imaginable way right now and SLR should do everything they can to provide the best possible experience for their customers. Give them choice instead of pushing a certain (inferior) player on them...

                Aerowen Yes, for some reason SLR always tries to protect themselves from some invisible enemy and keep everything in their walled garden, even if the experience for some customers gets worse, while other sites like WankzVR/POVR, CzechVR and NA even invested time to support the Heresphere API, to improve the experience for their customers.

                Granted, these sites have less to lose and needed a reasonable player anyway, but SLR somehow only sees the danger and downsides and takes everything as a threat, while ignoring advantages and improved experience for some users.

                Every time I use streaming to check some new studios I miss the features of Heresphere.

                  I only noticed the mx200s and the must use deo/SLR note after the fallout, my mistake.

                    the problem is they will shave out the best parts and THINK they are putting the best parts out there in these little videos

                    i got one clip i have watched almost a hundred times...they would have ZERO idea WHY i watch it

                    pretty sure a few people have these GO-TO-type clips....sometimes they are very very subtle and under-the-radar type things.

                        spanker Every scene and model is different. I can't just pick some favorite tags and ignore everything else. That would make VR porn even more stale than it is already. I want to be surprised and discover fresh unexpected ideas from the producers, not just watch 20 cowgirl or missionary scenes in a row.

                            What is wrong with you? Finding any sort of justification for minimizing downloads. SLR offered x amount of downloads per x amount of hours for x amount of dollars. Whatever irrelevant statistics you want to pull up doesn't change the agreement. If everyone wants to download 0 of their 30 per 72 hours or every single user wants to download all 30 of their 30 downloads every 72 hours, that's up to them, because that's what the agreement was when they paid (and some paid for 50, etc and should get it as early investors).

                            "No need to download the shit out of SLR."
                            Then why the hell did you advertise and sell downloads if you're trying everything possible to stop people from downloading? 30 per 72 or offer 50% refunds instead of wasting everyone's time with irrelevant statistics that have no bearing on what people paid for. Why don't they cut your salary from the books if they're having trouble providing downloads to the people that paid for them? You spouting nonsense on these forums is draining funds (assuming you're paid to do this) that SLR could put toward fulfilling their obligations as far as downloads, if that's actually a problem.

                            And didn't you say if the topic kept getting reopened, then you would need to start banning people? It seems like you're the one due for a ban, since you reopened the topic yourself. Hypocrite and abuse of power. Threatening paying customers with bans if we object to being ripped off and lied to, but you can post whatever you want that doesn't change the fact that we paid for 30 full quality downloads per 72 hours.

                              justsomedude101 This happens so much from my experience. Sometimes ISPs will throttle sites like SLR, BUT sometimes users will then test on a VPN, but use some free/low cost provider and pick a random overloaded server that can't deliver the speeds (not to mention potentially picking a server far away from them).

                                  justsomedude101 I don’t envy you trying to explain performance issues to the masses. There are so many things that can go wrong between site servers and user’s device which can (and usually do) impact performance.

                                    someoneX

                                    don't think i was SAYING anything close to that

                                    i was saying having people CUT clips into parts that they THINK are good? is a bad thing.

                                    MAYBE if they get some of those NEW photonic-chips china is producing and run some AI on the project??? they have a chance

                                      If people are given tools to slice, and dice, and edit, and remix, and if some convoluted porn TikTok offshoot results too, then fine, whatever. @Mutiny’s PMV releases are truly inspired and I’m curious to see what similar creativity is waiting in the wings to surprise us.

                                      Just as long as there’s no pressure on creators like Nash, and they can continue unabated creating feature length masterpieces as source material according to their original vision, and old timers like me can continue to download and enjoy those originals untouched, then I’m really not sure what we’re all arguing about.
