Slr connect - is it dead?
I paid for a non-recurring membership because of concern over major studios not being offered with the subscription. I'm also a member of czech vr on love their content. I really love the SLR app, but until you can get major studios added I will not renew my membership. Also there're a couple of studios and content is unwatchable in VR due to rapid camera movements that make you dizzy. I think this needs to be addressed with them.
JamesMeacham2005 Hey,
Thank you for feedback, we are working on adding new studios into Premium. We are also working with on improving content quality and helping studios to shoot and edit their videos.

Fantastic, that’s great (and surprisingly fast) news. would have been a shame to have to cancel with them as they definitely produce the best content. Thanks for the update.
I actually grabbed a month premium of SLR, and yes as per the above person, although there is some gems in there it can be hard to dig out from either old lower res content or poorly shot content. Even quite a bit of the 5/6k content looks poor and low res (which is assume is from just poor lighting and poor recording). I expect this will gradually improve as the months go by tho
I wonder if creating a “editors choice” filter would be a good way to help users to discover the best content without needing to dig through stuff so much themselves. Ie just turning on “6k” and “3d” certainly still brings up a lot of sub par content. But if your content team manually go through and asses each piece added (since maybe end of 2018) and if it hits a high bar in terms of camera work, immersion, lighting and overall recording quality then give it an “editors choice” tag.
rule of thumb is likes, more likes = better the videoPhilip brilliant...although I guess that could be skewed potentially by users, if there’s no final say from an editor. Ie it could be the actress, or the scene/fetish has a particular appeal that is good at driving likes, which doesn’t necessarily have complete correlation with overall quality. Either way, anything that makes it easier to find good content will be super useful
We plan to add RJVR and VRConk soon.
CzechVR had plans, but they made a U-turn at some point. If you guys could message studios that you want them to see in SLR connect that could have a huge impact.
doublevr this is disappointing to hear, it seemed to be the only way it was likely to get high res czechVR content on the quest, or to get their content running with the launch.
I’ve shot them a new message asking why and if they can offer any alternative solutions or if they are planning to develop their own side loaded dedicated player for the quest with the same feature set. Which would seem a massive and unnecessary technical undertaking, but as the quest and similar wireless headsets take up an ever increasing size of the market whilst simultaneously producers push resolutions higher it seems the only way to go. Hell the quest can barely manage 4K. And anything through webVR looks terrible, and choppy meaning the only option for even 4K on the quest is either SLR or downloading the whole 8gig file first on a pc and then casting it to the quest Which is a hugely tedious boner killer.
Such a shame
[unknown] RJVR and VRconk to be released soon. Hopefully during this or the next week
Is it possible to work something out with czechvr? I am currently subbed to them because out of all the sites they have the best content. Only problem is czechvr and the fetish sites are excluding the best vids. If maybe something can be worked out for connect, that would be amazing. They dont seem to wanna budge on adding all their content.
