  • Enable WebXR on Apple Vision Pro to watch SexLikeReal

I still find this broken in so many ways. It’s like yeah we got higher resolution but all the same bugs and issues remain:
1 you can’t play without muting the volume
2 the controls you need such as settings and the XR mode buttons are on the bottom right of the screen right where the resize app hot zone is so actually selecting them is near impossible
3 the color space is still wrong

Curious about thoughts on this. I don’t have an answer but after jumping through the hoops to get a video playing once I start doing my business the ui keeps popping in and out

Jjhooke69 DeoVR originally said "We estimate the DeoVR app will be coming to the Vision Pro app store in March 2024" but the latest from them is "A fully functional DeoVR app is expected to be available on the Apple Vision Pro in May 2024".

    Does anyone else have the problem where videos just refuse to play no matter what you do? not the mute problem that’s different.

      Agathorn strangely when this happens if I switch to mobile mode in safari then the video will play but then the option to go into webxr mode isn’t available

      Hairsational Yeah let's hope they can get it going. The AVP is just such a good headset, it really needs DeoVR 🙂

      Hi fellow AVP users!!

      I haven't been following the progress (or lack of progress) here in a while. I've really just been so busy fapping with my AVP. Currently I still think Moon Player is the best player. FYI devs, personally, I will never be interested in using Safari for streaming anything. I think the efforts to make the so-called hub work are misguided. I have a massive NAS server with a good (but nothing spectacular) home network, and I download the "original" highest bit rate version of each SLR video to my NAS server. I can then stream these to the AVP from the NAS using the SMB protocol.

      With Moon Player, you need to first use the built-in Files app to establish a connection to your server. The URL is like this

      smb://<my-server-ip>/

      where <my-server-ip> is the internal IP address of your NAS server. You can also use the short computer network name if you append ".local" to the network name. The IP address is typically more reliable. Once the Files app has the connection, you can then open Moon Player and locate the network share in the expected location in the left hand panel.

      A note about the server connections created in the Files app on the AVP. I'm seeing a bug where after any VisionOS update, my connections stop working. I've been able to get them working again without too much hassle just by restarting the AVP.

      Okay, so recently the Play'a app got a working version for AVP (it's a free install). It's not great, and I'm still using the Moon Player. There's many flaws that will have to be fixed for me to use Play'a over the solution described above. For one thing, the vrbangers.com site address is blocked in the Play'a app, ikr? But vrconk.com and other swearl sites that use Play'a are working, sort of. You cannot currently stream 8K without constant buffering. It seems to me that the Play'a devs have ported their home rolled net code and it buffers constantly.

      Play'a even buffers if you are streaming a file from your local NAS server. Since I have Moon Player, I know that streaming from my NAS should work fine. It's definitely a defect in the Play'a app. The best you can do right now with Play'a is play back files that you've copied or downloaded to the AVP. Even in this respect, I prefer the Moon Player. The Play'a app can only access it's own internal app folder, whereas the Moon Player can access the common Downloads folder. Thus, in order to play back a file I've copied to the AVP myself, I have to copy the files into the special Play'a app folder. It's not the end of the world, but it's another thing you have to know and understand about Play'a.

      TLDR; fuck all this shit, download the big-ass "original" files, and fap yourself silly using Moon Player.

        GfLm unfortunately downloads are less of an option every day as sites like slr restrict them

        Also moon can’t do interactive.
        I’m hoping heresphere makes a Vision Pro version

        GfLm Just curious: Now that that you have found a working solution for yourself, does VR porn look better on AVP compared to whatever headset you were using before? And if so, how much better?

        • GfLm replied to this.

          Was literally gonna ask the same thing @SchnuppiLilac 😆

          Not launched in the UK yet but it's on the list, hopefully before the end of 2024

          If the screen is a lot better than Pico 4 or similar then i'll get one even if only for porn

          It's definitely quite a bit better than anything else out there. HOWEVER the biggest downside right now is that there's no passthrough mode. I really love PT on my Quest 3. So I still use both for porn. So I guess until there's a PT mode player out there on the AVP, I guess you're still fine with the Quest 3. But if the first apps appear with PT mode, then the AVP easily would win.

            SchnuppiLilac Hmm good thinking, just tried it but unfortunately didn't work neither. When I enable the passthrough mode and use 'from video' then it just makes everything black except for the model. It doesnt mix in reality, like it does when you do the same on the quest 3 ...

            No, nobody has PT because it isn't possible. Apple in their infinite wisdom made an MR platform and did not give developers any access to the camera feed. I don't mean "by default" I mean there is no way to get it, the user can not enable any permission to allow an app to access the camera feed. Thus it is IMPOSSIBLE right now to make any app that uses the camera image, such as a passthrough video player or anything else.

            The only possible way this could work is if you can make the video itself simply have transparent parts and let the platform do the rest but I don't think that is doable either.

            In the larger picture, as a developer that had a lot of ideas I wanted to try with this thing outside of porn, I REALLY hope Apple realizes how stupid this is. I know they did it for privacy but at least let the user choose to make that available to an app with permissions if they want to.

              Agathorn But that can't be true. Tons of apps use MR with camera feed, like the game fruit ninja where fruit and ninjas appear in your own living room.

                harigeharry They appear in the room sure but the app itself never sees the camera image. All they get is the structure of the room, which is essentially planes that show where walls, floors, and objects are. But they never see the image. that is all handled by the platform for them.
