In summary, the bottom line is this:
- If you're a Quest 1 user, you cannot now watch SLR videos via DeoVR. There will be no fix forthcoming.
- Your only option for continued use of the Quest 1 is to now use the 'WebXR hub' by going to sexlikereal.com via the meta browser (although be advised, it currently lacks essential features such as a search bar or categories selection).
- Other than that, your options are to cancel your subscription or purchase a supported headset (300-400 USD).

SLR has, just within the last 24 hours, released a couple of post-hoc announcements that Quest 1 support has been discontinued for use with the DeoVR app:

Whilst the WebXR hub is stated to be 'working seamlessly' it is also acknowledged to be currently missing some fundamental features (search function and categories):

Some personal thoughts:
Whilst inevitably some older VR devices will eventually have to be deprecated, SLR should have done a much better job of announcing, well in advance to their customers, a discontinuation of DeoVR Quest 1 support. Customers should not have been left scrabbling around on the forums, seeking a fix to an unexpected problem, only for SLR to turn around and tell them that their device is now unsupported. It shouldn't need to be said that foreknowledge of the deprecation of the Quest 1 would have been hugely valuable information to customers who use the device, many of whom will have continued or perhaps purchased SLR subscriptions on the understanding that their device was supported.
SLR, please in the future do better at communicating such information to customers well in advance and you will avoid unnecessarily creating disgruntled customers who, not that unreasonably, feel as if they have had the rug pulled from beneath them.
