SLR Interactive Spatial Media Manifesto

g2kbuffetboy Copy that 100%. Was historically a loyal subscriber to 2d-sites like bangbros. Did not renew my subscription at the point where they reduced the bandwidth (and as a result the quality) of their videos - and stopped the downloads. Total no-go to me.
I personally travel a lot and love to have my favorites with me on the Quest and/or an a portable HD together with my RAV access point. This way, I'm not forced to use a public internet connection for my porn dedication.
For me, it's rather simple: No downloads - no subscription. Same for being forced to pay extra for downloads. Didn't re-subscribe e.g. to brazzers since they started this shit.

doublevr we are rather into 'do not invest extra into downloads' mood. I don't expect current logic to change much.

Ah okay, that is a relief then. Thank you for clarifying that.

I'm the same way. Since I've bought my Quest 3, I've taken it with me on most of my trips and it's been a nice travel headset with all my favorite downloaded scenes as well.

What you don't want people to download? But so many non-porn services let people download everything, like Netflix, Hulu, Max, Amazon Prime . . . oh wait -- no they don't. 😉

Definitely can echo the statements about the problems with not giving users options. Just please do not get rid of downloads entirely, especially the high bitrate options. Downloads will always be the better choice for superior quality and quickness of scanning to other parts of the scene. Sure streaming is a lot better now but it still doesn't compare.

VR enthusiasts are still going to want a local file that they know will work every time without the reliance on an internet connection. I don't care if downloads "advance" they're great the way they are now, but please do not get rid of them. That's one surefire way to alienate your hardcore fanbase.

what a joke

Without downloads, I would have none of the content from VR Conk, VR Bangers, Swallowbay etc which has since been removed, not to mention the many other scenes from existing partners which were taken down for compliance reasons. I don't download much at all though, only a few scenes per week, so if you at least maintain downloading in original quality with reasonable limits, I'm happy. I can understand wanting to deter one month subbers who download as much as they can get away with then leave, as they are a financial drain.

I stream to select scenes, download to enjoy them. If people are streaming more and downloading less, it might be because they keep looking for awesome scenes and just aren't finding them - a trend across all of VR porn.

I didn't know SLR joined the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Yo @doublevr !
First tanks to the teams !
On this : "We’re making 6DOF go mainstream. It’s going to change how immersive our stuff is. It is even more perfect for PT/AR."
Can you tell what kind of tech are you using for 6dof dev, and how far are you to post some stuff using it ?

I could unerstand if you can't 😉
Tanks

All the tech is great, but is SLR a tech company or a VR production company? Because nowhere on your list do you mention investing in directors and quality SLRO content creators, which seems to be the one thing that is slipping more and more with each passing month as directors leave and SLROs slow to a crawl. All these tech deployments make me wonder if the SLR model is becoming one that relies on outside studios to bring in actual content.

Check out the Backstage Pass thread if you haven't already - lot of details there on our plans for SLRO, both in terms of increasing quantity and quality.

tl;dr - our new AR/PT studio in the EU is up & running, with release frequency expected to increase in May. We've also had "pilot" shoots with several producers over the past 2 or so weeks (in the EU and in Florida) since we're actively looking for more quality creators both here in the US and in the EU.

This is tech stack topic.

Otherwise SLR is a tech company. We have got into production because no one was doing it right.

justsomedude101 Shouldn't you guys look to have a west coast US producer too? I thought that's where most stars live

Also in progress. Just not far enough into the process afaik to have pilot shoots scheduled, so didn't mention it. But believe this is also actively in the works.

edit: talking about potential new producers. As @Hairsational mentioned below Nash is in LA 😄

rsd3c Alex Nash is west coast

Are you asking what performers Nash has shot? Check out this thread - will be the US performers with pics posted (except for Kira Perez). A few others that haven't yet been announced yet as well.

First off, yes, you guys are ROCKING IT! The new AI scripts continue to get better. I even started liking PT since I grabbed a Q3.

6DOF should be insane!

But

It's frustrating to read downloading won't be getting the attention it has in the past.

There are multiple reasons for people to download: movies disappearing from the site and leaving us with orphaned scripts, weak internet speeds when out and about, the need to download movies so we can adjust/tweak scripts (I can't imagine trying to clean up a script while either, or both products are streaming). Though, the latter could be solved if there were always a low-bitrate version for us to DL and plug into OFS.

I would continue to invest in the downloading features, specifically in protecting the content. There has to be a workable solution that all parties can agree on. Since I only DL the truly great vids in case they get dropped or when I want to mess with the current script, I would even pay a small DL fee after the base limit is exceeded (similar to the script DLs and fees that you can hand off to the publishers). Just don't follow NaughtyAmerica's model. I cancelled my sub with them since they made their scripts annoying as hell to use.

That all said, this is the best service there is. Nothing on the market comes close. But it's because you pack the site with every feature we want and then some.

Pirates will always find ways to pirate, but there are plenty of us that will pay to keep this particular site and service alive and well.
