DeoVR v HereSphere

doublevr I like deo better than HS with a few exceptions... the fact that I have a difficult time getting deo and my local media server to play nicely with each other as it seems deo only likes to find and or recognize dlna servers and I find smb easier to manage since I put all my shit in the same three folders (one for dl's in progress, one for completed dl's and finally one for failed/interrupted dl's I have yet to fix/renew dl token/link to resume and successfully complete dl which then triggers the file being moved to the completed dl folder). Deo really likes finding and displaying my dlna servers though. Just no smb... My real question that i signed up to this forum for though is how are y'all getting hs to play non local videos on HS without clicking the dl button and using one of the 30 dl limit slots? I primarily use HS because my connection isn't usually fast enough to stream 8k so I almost always have to dl for smooth playback....... HOWEVER, in the middle of the night, when bitchass Verizon towers haven't got my ass deprioritized, streaming on demand 8K with minimal pausing is totally within my acceptable tolerance/frustration ratio. Am I missing something or how do I get the API to load on HS? TIA and apologies for my questionable use of the terminology.. I did the best I could to make it make sense but I'm far from a guru or even a Dev just an enthusiast/hobbyist at best so if something doesn't make sense then that would probably be why.

fenderwq Performance - I haven't tested this in a while but it used to be I could play the original VrAllure files (with 100% super sampling on Pimax 8kx with my RTX 2070) on HereSphere and not on DeoVR. DeoVR would become pretty much become unresponsive when I tried to play these vids.

I wasted a full hour troubleshooting this problem. These videos only run smoothly on Deo if the user turns off the options for Direct Show both in the settings and the viewing panel. Additionally, as of two weeks ago, these files required a separate installation of LAV filters from the filters included in the K-Lite Mega codec pack. For some reason, these changes are only required for streaming them through VirtualDesktop or OculusLink, however. If you have the patience for copying them to the device, the clarity is exceptional.

[deleted] thanks man, did try all that though, have a new gpu now anyways so everything plays fine now

fabtheo1 You can't get the api to load on HereSphere. SLR blocked them from using it. The only way to watch SLR vids on HS is to download them (but then they are mad that you are downloading too much ).

Wendigo HereSphere

HereSphere offers much higher visual fidelty for films from certain studios. SLR Originals look better on Deo.

[deleted] yes

[deleted] I couldn't disagree more, but thanks for your reply.

No, it doesn't.

hs allows multiple 2d videos to be played at the same time.

Something i wish they both had is horizontal flip. not sure why its such a hard feature to implement. deo used to have it

Mouse support, I had not having a cursor I can move around with my mouse in Deovr, its the number thing I miss from heresphere.

why not just solve this issue instantly and re-enable the api so we can use heresphere if we want to?

I miss using heresphere so much, never forget what they took from us.

HereSphere has a visual quality far superior to other applications and plays seamlessly on Quest 3 without any lag. But the biggest advantage for me is the controls; holding down the Grip button to rotate the screen and adjust the angle is very convenient and comfortable. Additionally, zooming in and out without distorting the image using the analog stick is very easy, making it very easy to correct models that appear excessively large or scenes that are too close or too far away in some scenes. Also, it's very nice that it automatically saves these adjustments made.

I've just purchased an annual membership for SLR. However, due to my difficulty in getting used to the controls, especially in the DeoVR application, I will continue to use the HereSphere application. Therefore, I will have to download and play the contents compulsorily. Hopefully, someday we can also stream from the HereSphere application.
