  • "Skip to Next Video" button behaviour changing in SLR ?

dango789 Hey, it should be in the next release, ETA end of January.

Sadly we can't revert since the change was necessary to get loop and shuffle working, the new release will practically bring back the old behavior.
I suggest until then you add new videos to watch later playlist and play it. Its really quick doing it on web, just click on bookmark icon under the video thumbnail.
Hope it helps.

      Will this fix come soon?
      it kind of sucks to press home each time i want to play next video sorted on newest instead of pressing next video.

      regards Jonte

        jontese Yea we are doing an intermediate release early next week with a fix for this.

          Sandi_SLR This is much better. I can watch new videos again. Thanks, Sandi_SLR!

          However, right now, only the "next" button works. So in the screenshot below, I can only go from Video 1 to 2 to 3 etc.

          Previously, I also had the option to go backwards, e.g. Video 8 -> 7 -> 6 etc.

          This is a much better workflow because I can quickly review the videos I've watched and liked already before looking at the new videos, giving me a baseline to compare the new videos against. If the quality is better, I keep the new videos. If the quality is worse, I hide them. I'm left only with the best videos for each performer.

          Could you please make it so that the previous video button also works? Thank you!

                dango789 we tested this through, Prev should work as you describe. Can you type the steps that don't work for you?

                    Sandi_SLR I think I'm having an issue similar to this. It happens on any playlist, whether it's Watch Later or one of my custom playlists. I'm on DeoVR version 13.7.1 on Oculus Link.

                    1. Navigate to a playlist from the Home browser menu, ex. Watch Later.
                    2. Play one of the videos on the playlist through the browser (we'll call it video A).
                    3. While playing video A, open up the in-video playlist UI on the left. Note that the UI says you're in the Watch Later playlist.
                    4. Use the in-video controls to go to the next video on the playlist (video B).
                    5. After navigating to video B, look at the playlist UI again and note that the playlist has switched from Watch Later to Suggested. There is no control to go back to video A anymore.
                    6. Further navigation from video B is through the Suggested playlist and not the original playlist you selected. Also, the Suggested list keeps refreshing whenever you switch videos, and the video you're watching is never on the Suggested playlist.

                        Hey @Sandi_SLR - Any update on the previous video button not displaying? I've emailed on 4 different occasions now. Perhaps it went to your spam?

                        Hey @dango789 we have it in backlog on to do list, sadly we didn't start solving it yet, looks like its getting in release after next one.
