Why I use heresphere and xbvr for local VR videos / scripts 99% of the time (I pretty much only use deovr to stream new releases).
The biggest reason, videos and scripts always work, every time, every heresphere update.
Once you figure out how to use heresphere and xbvr, the days of having problems playing local videos/scripts are gone. Initial setup of xbvr can take a while if you have a lot of videos/scripts (they all need to be assigned/matched), but once you are done the initial stuff, adding the occasional new release/script takes seconds.
I only started using heresphere because deovr kept giving me problems, it still does far too often.
- Deovr features come and go, I setup deovr to work with dlna, then it was removed - I don't care that it was added back as I moved on
- Three spinning wheels way too often considering I have state of the art gigabit internet with 0 issues with any other connected device
- It was nice that deovr finally offered the handy controls inside the interface, but heresphere also now has that
- I hate that deovr auto resumes a script, i.e. pause video, remove headset, adjust something, move headset a little (not even back on sometimes) and script resumes running, heresphere continues pausing when you have paused, and as one would expect plays only when you push play
- Deovr is better at time syncing scripts than heresphere (my guess is you guys calculate the required offset), I seldom need to adjust offset in deovr, in heresphere I almost always need to visit the handy site to get a delay, then adjust heresphere
- Deovr was easy to use and figure out the first time you use it, heresphere was quite complicated to figure out many of the most basic setup and user tasks, but heresphere support does answer questions and eventually you figure it out.
- Deovr takes a long time to load.
- Heresphere seems to have more "often used" controls available on main page.
- In deovr, scripts sometimes keep running when they shouldn't (I have exited the video), scripts sometimes stop (says connection error) and get resent, heresphere has never encountered any of these problems, so I am pretty sure the issue is inside deovr.
Maybe not as important for the average user, but for a scripter heresphere is much better at moving around the timeline than deovr (i.e. I can move to within a second of any point in the video to check some detail in VR headset vs my scripting tool), deovr is very poor at moving the timeline slider around, or at moving start/finish AB markers in tiny increments to get them exactly where you want them.
