App 13.9 released (Alpha for Passthrough, Multi-script)
I just tried the 2-minute sample of Xxlayna with the new alpha channel the result is sooo much better than before! No more green light bleeding through, very sharp edges. Well done!
How long until you re-release the passthrough videos with their alpha-channels?

Fapmaster17 Thank you! We will try to do it ASAP, so expect it in coming weeks, also new greenscreen releases should use alpha from the get go.
Hi @Sandi_SLR
I noticed that on the latest Beta firmware v53 for the Meta Desktop app they’ve enabled local dimming by default on all apps when using the Quest Pro via Oculus Link. I believe it has been on a per app basis up until this point. With the responsibility falling on the devs for each app to enable it or not.
I assume they will eventually make the same change when you use the headset as a standalone headset. But until then, I was wondering if there’s anything you guys can do on your end to enable local dimming in DeoVR when using the Pro as a standalone headset?
Local dimming really does make for nicer image quality by increasing contrast.
Just curious.
bacula8630 Hey, thanks for suggestion, we will certainly look into it.
Vrsumo2017 What were you doing, the passthrough is controlled by alpha, you dont need any settings, just make sure "A" button is active next to passthrough ON switch.
It should be ON by default anyway.

Sandi_SLR there was no preset when i turned it on, I had to mess with the pt settings.
The 1st sample as well has no preset
Sandi_SLR OK, my bad, oppsie
I updated my deo on quest 2 but not my pico
I updated deo on the pico 4 and NOW I see it!
And yes looks way better then the original with the green bg, also the video looks more clearer!
, AWESOME WORK!
But it looks really good 
but now we gotta a problem 
Yeah, since I had the pico 4 never has it froze up on me using deo, after this update it froze a few times already. Noticeably during watching pass through on.
Also the videos dont start with my -0.80 zoom set as default, it starts at 1.0 then I have to push the Lil arrow circle to restore to my costume default -0.80
It does this on quest 2 as well.
I seen few other users having this issue too.
Vrsumo2017 Hey, settings defaut are getting a fix soon.
But freezing is new to us, could you help us explain the steps so we can recreate? Thanks
Sandi_SLR I played a few regular videos to try with pt to see if I can get it to freezer but it didn't, it's freezes mostly on them alpha samples, I let it play for a Lil bit and if i try to click the heart to like the video that's where it manly froze up. It also froze up just moving my remote around while watching them alpha samples.
Hope that helps.

Hunky-Dory Hey, I noticed that too, usually with local files.
We have it written down, but on low priority atm.
Sandi_SLR Extended our fisheye layout, so Studios can take advantage and prepare videos with alpha channel - taking passthrough experience to next level
What exactly does this mean?
Does this mean the pass-through will work better on regular videos or just on the green screen videos?
Vrsumo2017 Check the documentation.

Sandi_SLR I saw there was a new update on the pico 4, i updated it but I'm still getting the freezed up screen.
