Silly-Sausage but passthrough scenes won't work properly through a server

You can make at least the SLRO alpha PT scenes work now when streaming from a hardrive over Wifi by using Heresphere and SMB or by using DeoVR and a DLNA server (Ple with an x is free if you don't have one already).

    SchnuppiLilac I use Plex which is DNLA, and will still have the frame rate issues using DeoVR as it appears to be fundamentally broken at the moment.

    Not worth getting Heresphere as there is too much hassle setting up SMB, i was surprised it doesn't support DNLA after everyone echoing how good it is and wasn't keen on the interface personally.

    Skybox, i love the 'Volume Boost' on this player as nice loud sounds of slurping and kissing adds so much immersion to any scene, also Pigasus these are my goto players which work perfectly for my setup but obviously doesn't support Alpha Passthrough over Plex DNLA.

    Quick question if you don't mind .... What is the current highest resolution the Q3 supports. Can it play the VR Bangers 12k scenes loaded directly onto the headset without a PC etc ?

      One of the first things I tested after getting the Q3 🙂 It didn't work with the 10K version trying several players, so I guess the Q3 is still limited to 8K. I did not transfer the file onto the headset but am pretty sure that it will not make a difference.

      Strange that you have the fps issue with your DeoVR app on Q2 in all scenarios while the problems reported lately were mostly related to PCVR. Did you ever try to unistall/re-install the app? Or if this didn't help, doing a factory reset of the headset?

        That's a shame, you would of thought there would be some sort of improvement over the Q2 even on release, hopefully you will get a update which improves it otherwise i will be giving the Q3 a pass.

        I've just been watching some of the latest 8k VR Bangers scenes in Skybox and whatever they are doing is witchcraft as the image quality is incredible, i can't wait to be able to watch the 12k stuff when it becomes standard. The one thing i think they have done is reduce the image size slightly which is fine with me.

        I'm starting to see more users realise there is an issue with the frame rate which has never been the best and always looked a bit choppy even when i used to get 90 fps.

        Got to be honest there's not a chance i'm gonna do factory reset of my headset as i have the majority of things working perfectly which took alot of fine tuning to get it all working how i like.
        Also won't be re-installing the app, that's not the issue, that's the goto of developers when they don't have a clue how to fix it, similar to re-start your pc etc, i'll let others be the guinea pigs for that one.

        At the end of the day if they start losing customers then it will get a proper fix.

          SchnuppiLilac . I noticed that fps will drop down to 40 when moving the sharpness slider out of the default middle position

          You're a little beauty mate, you flippin done it, i have my default setting set to +1 on all scenes i open and the first scene i opened and moved the 'Sharpness' to Zero the frame rate jumped to 89-90 fps. from 28-29 fps.

          You're a star... i said the re-install wasn't it and you proved me right.

          Great find mate 🙂

          Thank you so much !

          That's a horrible bug is that one, needs a fix ASAP, you deserve a reward from SLR for that

          Hey, in deo vr after the latest update the battery icon is stuck on a % #.

          Example it could say I have 70% battery but I really have 40%, it just stuck on a #.

          It does this on q3 and pico4

            6dof, the zoom slider...

            It's set at in the middle but if I try to add more or decrease it just reverts back to the middle once I close the settings.

            Also.
            Not really a big deal cause I only use one slider but the pt sliders, turning on and off a switch causes it to change to the color the box is next to it.

              Vrsumo2017 just to make sure I understood you correctly: when you try to make 6DOF more or less that 2 on the slider bar, it resets to 2 after closing the settings?

              For the second one, could you please specify, do you mean inverted PT?

                SchnuppiLilac Just one last thank you as you have TOTALLY changed my DeoVR experience, i didn't realise how bad it really was until your advice the passthrough scenes that i had 20 fps now have a new lease of life. I'll leave you in peace now

                  Kieshi when you try to make 6DOF more or less that 2 on the slider bar, it resets to 2 after closing the settings?

                  Correct.

                  And in the pass through settings if I set the sliders to get a pass through in one box but then if i turn on another box and set a different setting once I turn it off or on it automatically changes the settings to what the box next to it has.

                  Hey, it does this when pass through is on, when pt is off it works fine.

                  Kieshi For the second one, could you please specify, do you mean inverted PT?

                  Made a gif, see how i make blue and then when i turn off the box next to it it changes to blue.

                  Also it don't let you switch to the next boxes with out using the switches, it use to let you click on the box to select that box.

                  Rarely I ever use a second box.
                  Well i take that back, I'll normally make a pass through but then use another box to try a different method. But rarely do I use to take out other colors.

                    It would be really nice to get a download option for DEO on Quest 3 since you can't view the normal website on the Quest browser. Downloading videos onto Quest is a nightmare. I travel a lot and hotel wifi is complete garbage for streaming.

                      parsec Currently, the only way is to download on a PC/MAC and then transfer to your headset due to headset limitations. What is also tricky as some videos can be 50-60gb while the headset storage is 128gb and up, but I'll pass this to the team as a feature request for sure.

                        [deleted] I really appreciate it, hotel wifi has been a real hassle with a lot of start/stopping during playback and I don't have access to a PC much at all where I can make the transfers.

                        Vrsumo2017 In previous versions there was also no option to change those by clicking on the colour box, you had to always use toggle as far as I know.
                        For the issue with colour change, I will check with the devs why this is happening
