Finally fired up the pico.
Update to latest software and transfer your 3d movies to the Movies folder. The native player works fine and has many of the features of DeoVR. BUT, for some reason it doesn't auto detect the type of video and defaults to 2d. Open the menu and choose SBS, 180, Fish eye, etc and it works fine.

I'm having issues connecting to my router, however. It says Connected/No Internet. 5G. I wonder what settings I need to change. It's an TpLink Archer C3200. When using the phone company's router it works fine, but I have to go all the way to electrical panel where the phone company set it up to use that router. Everything else runs fine on the archer.

Any suggestions would be great.

5 days later

soon the deovr app should be published, right?

    I do realise I am impatient here (I might have refreshed this page a couuuple times over the last hours), but should I be able to see the app already in the store?

    My bad. It's in review process. Normally takes some few days

    To me it sounds like its worth it.

    Less tunnel effect/wider field of view. Much bigger sweet spot where the picture remains in focus. Color pass-through. Depth/vibrance of colors and black levels I am unsure of though.

    doublevr It got released in the meanwhile on Side Quest. Everything works very well and the passthrough mode for videos is really impressive. I did not think it would work that well. Looking forward to see more improvements for that feature.

    I did notice though, that 8k videos are really laggy on the Pico 4 and therefore unwatchable. Maximum quality I can set videos is 2880p. Everything above is way too laggy. I don't know if there is a fix for it, or if it's because that's the maximum a standalone device is capable off.

    Anyway, really happy to have SLR available on the Pico 4 now.

        Danny88 You are probably using the h264 codec. Change to h265 and all videos will go without any problems 🙂 I don't know why h264 is set by default. Not everyone needs to know...

            Lonkilan It's a browser thing. It will get fixed at some point.

            2880p Is still well above the official AVC spec. and even runs fine because of the Qualcomm XR2 chip. - In comparison, an RTX 4090 can't decode this.

            But correct, use HEVC/H.265 instead, in particularly for anything over 2160p.
            For VR on PC, I'd even say anything over 1920p

              But when deovr will be released on Pico 4 store without Sidequest?I use Pico 4 without PC....

                Not yet instead.It's possibile download DeoVr only with Pico 3 headset, not with Pico 4

                  Anyone know if the Pico 4 app has the "remote control" functionality?

                  • Yar replied to this.

                    Lonkilan Thank you! That was indeed the problem. Completely forgot to change the codec. I somehow thought it was default on h265.
                    Works flawlessly now. The picture on the Pico 4 is very good. Before I used a Reverb G2. Picture was also very good, but the higher sweetspot and the slightly better FOV makes a huge difference. Feels way more immersive. Plus wireless is a game changer.

                        Yar Ahh great, only have PC VR so I was unsure if it was available at all on quest/Pico4 thanks.
