  • SLR Drive in the making: Upload, Stream in Deo, get AIScripts and Passthrough

I worry the time/cost of cloud hosting/bandwidth/storage for the large files won't be something I'd pay any extra for. Is there any plan to allow adding storage on a local network instead of cloud? I use the SMB via Skybox today, but SMB option in DeoVR would be nice -- or the personal library extension with the metadata in the cloud but the large video files themselves could be sourced/streamed from local network storage instead.

    frki1644 Isn't that what DLNA is for...? Or is DLNA something different?
    Can't you already use a network attached storage (NAS) to stream that?
    Since I think a NAS can be streamed from, it should already be possible to SLR Drive from your own remote storage... assuming enough streaming bandwidth or proper video encoding.

      If you look at SLR Drive without consideration of the AI features...yeah, SMB, DLNA, PCVR, etc probably makes more sense. However, at least IMHO, the killer features of SLR Drive will be the generation of AI scripts and AI passthrough for any uploaded video. I don't think this is something that can be done at home currently. Educate me if I'm wrong.

      doublevr I was wondering where the heresphere statement went, but I see you added it to the main post. Do you think there is a possiblity that we could stream not only SLR Drive files, but also the SLR Library using HereSphere? I would really like to be able to use HereSphere to browse SLR.

        @doublevr Any updates or a timeline on SLR drive with AI features? Looking forward to giving some of my videos the SLR AI script and passthrough treatment. Would LOVE to finally be able to generate AI scripts and passthrough for my favorite non SLR scenes and SLR drive seems awesome for that. Btw, will there be a limit on the AI features and also what kind of storage and prices are we talking about ballpark?

        Super curious on this as well, if there's an update on the timeline for SLR Drive with AI script support.
        Could be the hottest new feature of the year!

        I'm curious, what would be the advantage of SLR Drive for 2D?
        AI passthrough on 2D is not available and, well, not particularly useful.
        As far as I've seen, there's no AI script model for 2D/flat currently on SLR.
        What does that leave? Cloud storage for 2D?

          Real game changer ! I am ready to beta test that, let me know so far you need feedback from software developer professional. Challenge will be upload speed, many users do not realise how slow upload connection they have. There is cheap trick for that: Calculate checksum locally and transfer only checksum, file may be already known to SLR Drive, you do not need storage same file tousand of times 😉 and upload will looks like go speed of light 😉, of course you display it as private file, you just used kind of compression method.

            davexingde You bring up a good point. Having it downloaded only once is the only why I can see this working. Otherwise they might as well start downloading every scene from every studio and AI scripting and AI pt them.
            Once this is going every good scene from all the other studios and going to be uploaded multiple times. Even if SLR only does everything once. They still are going to need to script and PT them.
            Ten times what they do now. It will take them years to do all the old scene unless they get 10 times the computers.
            Am I wrong?
