Grant Access for DeoVR ?!?

FritzGerlach

What the Heck?
Why should i gave Grant Access to DeoVR? This makes absolutely Zero Sense. The only Reason would be, to get rid of this annoying Pop-Up Window.
Who is dumb enough, to allow DeoVR to get Full Access to all his Media? Yeah, while watching a Movie, DeoVR checks all my Media and maybe deletes 40% of it for no Reason and i can do nothing about it? It is just an Example, but this is what this Anoying Pop-Up sounds like.

Maybe Staff has a reallyy good Explanation for this Step.
Thanks

FritzGerlach What headset are you using and can you provide any more details? Especially regarding DeoVR "deleting" content.

DeoVR is a media player, so it needs access to your media to play any downloaded videos (aka media).

justsomedude101 Quest 2 I assume, since he is referring to the permission prompts from Android.

FritzGerlach DeoVR should only require access if it needs to play media from the headset's internal storage. If you are streaming then DeoVR has no legitimate need for that permission.

It's because of funscript support. It's not possible to separate Android permissions for local playback and streaming

Yeah, i use a Quest 2. Looks like, that this will be the End of watching VR Porn with Funscripts,. It is no longer possible, to watch VR Porn and using Scripts, wirhout allowing DeoVR the Grant Access. So i can't use any of my 1000+ Scripts, bought from Eroscriots, CzechVR aso. Looks like the End of a nice Time 😞 I would never ever allow DeoVR to get full right to all my Media, plus i am sure, if i would let my Lawyer check this, he will tell me, rhat this is not legal in Germany

For those of you, who wants to know what the PopUp says:

"GRANT ACCESS

To enable file management and access to non-media files use the button in the top right corner of the file manager

Or trigger it from this popup:

Allow this app to read, modify and delete all files on this device or any connected storage volumes. if granted, app may access files wirhout your explicit knowledge
