  • Watching videos in immersive VR mode from browser no longer supported?

Kieshi hey 👋

I got one, on my phone on the slr website I can watch the trailers in the upcoming section but in the vr with deo they don't play.

Will they be able to play eventually in vr?

      PLAYLISTS!!! Really hate not having those available. Agree that searching and finding the content that specifically appeals to me is harder in the hub.

      3 months later

      @Kieshi it's been three months, and this is still not supported.

      I would like you to answer a few questions. Please answer all of them:

      1. Is there any update on this front? Any work done?
      2. Is there a timeline you guys have in mind as to when this might be back?
      3. Are you guys simply not going to do this? I like honesty, if you guys are not planning to work on this I'd rather get that as an answer instead of getting some bogus "we working on it" that never ends up materializing.

      Thanks

        someuser994455 hey, we did make VR mode available again last week, you need to exit the hub in headset, open video you want to watch and either push "Enter VR" or click on glasses button on the player panel, this will open immersive mode

          Yes, it is working again. The image quality and options obviously aren't as high as in the app, but the ease of finding videos I enjoy makes up for it in most cases!

            My Quest 2 browser just updated. Now when I exit a video I am taken back to the home screen of the quest rather than back to my SLR page in the browser. Do you know anything about this?

            Also, is there a better browser to use with SLR than the standard quest 2 browser?

            Thanks!

              sportclimber hi, does it happen every time you exit VR Mode? Are there any specific steps we can do to reproduce this?

              Standart Quest 2 browser should work fine

                  Kieshi
                  OK. Subsequent viewings have not re-created the problem, so I think everything is fine. Weird.

                  I noticed that on top of image re-sizing, you have added fast forward/rewind in 4 second intervals, correct?

                  Thank you for your work on this!

                      sportclimber yes, correct! We will keep working on it and add more things in next iterations.
                      Glad everything worked out 🙂
