  • Does passthrough works on Quest 3 and downloaded PT videos played with DeoVR ?

Hey guys is there someone else that facing same issue ? My experience is just with the Quest version of DeoVR but not with the PC one ! Seems DeoVR just cant get the automatic PT video settings when i play the downloaded vids ... There is not "A" button at all ! So it requires manual settings and its pretty annoying to try to setup each video one by one ... I havent tried the PC version yet . Please share more about your experience with downloaded PT videos !

I just found this topic so guess maybe this is about the same issue:

    The issue with alpha PT not working over DLNA has been discussed here in the forum already some time ago. This is not supported and the _alpha name extension does not help. I understood there is no easy fix for this problem. So if you cannot stream in DeoVR for some reason, the only workaround is probably transferring the downloaded videos onto the headset's harddrive.

          Yes i tried and PT vids plays fine from the internal headset drive . I wonder if they play fine via the PC version of DeoVR player too ? Can someone share experience?

            No, it doesn't work through AirLink. Does it work through VirtualDesktop? Does it work if you install Unity and Oculus APK? I installed Unity, but I've yet to install the Oculus APK...

            There's a way to watch films through the device. Meta has not corrected the copying error for large files via Windows 10 / 11. However, you can copy the films to your device via SideQuest.

              [deleted] Thanks for the info its useful to know about this beta setting for "Passthrough over Oculus Link" - will be more interesting if it works via AirLink too ? But for me most interesting is if PT vids works via PC DeoVR player and VirtualDesktop ? So hope someone share experience ... I could test it in monday at the earliest ...

                Even better will be if you can adopt the PC version of DeoVR for proper playback of PT vids via VirtualDesktop . It works now but for some reason the hairs of the models are half transparent regardless of the hair color ... ?! I tried many different VD Passthrough colors settings and couldnt fix this ...

                I have observed considerable stuttering and lagging on DeoVR via AirLink. All these problems go away by loading SLR content through the Steam version of Deo.

                  Hey [deleted], can you send us the DeoVR version number so we can check if we can reproduce this, thanks!

                      I'd be grateful for any advice. My version of Deo is 13.12.1.3. I am loading VR content through AirLink on a 3000 series video card and 12th gen Intel processor. I've been playing videos through a USB 3 external HD, attached through a USB 3 port with the correct wire. I have copied the same videos to my internal SSD and the problem persists. Originally there was lagging both for 8K SLR originals, resolved by loading on Deo through Steam. Now I'm experiencing lagging for VRHush and VRAllure. The lagging occurs for both films downloaded via SLR and films downloaded from VRAllure independently. I've installed the latest K-Lite codec pack (MEGA), as well as LAV filters. I have tried playing the same films wirelessly through my desktop, and there's no lagging outside of Deo. I am on a 6e network. Oh, yeah, and I'm on Quest 3. Throughput seems fine, since I can load 65 gig + films. The problem concerns a Deo codec, LAV filter, or a developer feature. Nvidia drivers updated 26 Oct.

                      Unwatchable due to lagging

                          I am talking about the "original" download option.

                          Hey [deleted], thanks for sharing all the details about the issues you're facing with DeoVR. It looks like you've gone the extra mile trying to troubleshoot the lagging problem with various approaches, and that's great to see!

                          However, after looking into it, we're unable to replicate the issue on our end. It's possible that the problem might be specific to your setup or configuration. While we'd love to provide a solution, it seems this could be related to factors beyond our control.

                              same exact problem. Works great when watching videos via sites like SLR, but for any downloaded content, it's terrible and you have the manually try to key out the blue background which works terribly. Sounds like this just doesn't work via DLNA. So how would you get it working? Transferring the video file to the headset directly? How do you do that?

                              boboweb Are you making sure to note whether the video is alpha or not? Alpha only works on streaming videos through SLR site or on locally stored videos on your headset and is basically automatic. If you are talking about greenscreen or bluescreen videos, those are slightly different and those do work on DLNA you just have to manually enter the numbers on each of the PT fields. Go on the SLR site and look up the video and click on the PT section at the bottom, they tell you exactly what you need to enter for each field.

                                There is a button in DeoVR for "directshow". Rather than navigating to the settings menu, it's located within in the interface settings. When I disabled "DirectShow" through this interface, all of the "original file" videos from various studios suddenly became playable.
