doublevr thank you.
"Unsupported Format" on all videos
iddqd yes this. I got the same error on my quest 3. Found the release channels in app settings, changed it to the correct one; and have a new player where the masking and quality feels much better.
bootwraps 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)
The Hub is currently undergoing a major global refactor, and search functionality along with tags will be gradually reintroduced during the next iteration.
We have an article about the headsets we support and recommend for use.

It is not pack of bannanas! VR models are expensive. You can't just break the backward compatibility of a paid product and say - these are your problems, buy a new expensive helmet. My pimax 8kx also doesn't work now, although there is a pimax crystal in your article

they are either blocking the old headsets on purpose (which doesn't make sense) or plain lazy since they obviously could revert the changes in like 30sec of coding. As a coder, i know it would irritate me that some changes I did to my server would kill support with older versions of deovr. I would revert back knowing it's an easy fix and it was working fine before on both versions. I'm surprised their programmer isn't even taking the (30seconds) challenge, which makes me think it's intentional and not laziness.
wenworth Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence
Yeaaa, I'm calling BS on this, and will probably spend a few weekends getting to the bottom of it and figuring out an independent solution.
Since it's been reported that the actual video files play fine when downloaded and played directly on the Quest1, the root cause is either a problem in the streaming handshake for both sides to agree on streaming parameters; or the problem is SLR is using a streaming encoding that DeoVR 13 and below cannot support.
This will probably require an at-home solution that will implement a SOCKS5 Proxy (prolly Squid), and a streaming transcoder to convert the incoming stream into a format that can then be consumed by older DeoVR versions.
I've no intention of being force-upgraded to a new headset; and recent VR game titles just aren't interesting enough for me to want to buy into new VR hardware anytime soon.

jaycanjam it's as simple as streaming protocols change that can't be supported by older versions nor there's a way to get a newer version of the app into Meta deprecated headsets.
Protocols update became mission critical at some point. There was no way to support older versions. Tech teams didn’t report to the management an implication of older headsets becoming not operational. Nor there’s an option to revert after transition.

doublevr sorry to insist, and I know you gotta have a PR response, but your explanation doesn't make any sense when the new protocol was indeed working a few days ago on DeoVR 13 too. DeoVR 14 wasn't updated, so you guys intentionally disabled DeoVR13 support when it was working perfectly fine on both DeoVR 13 and 14.
Hire me if you want, i'll add back DeoVR13 support for free if your dev are too lazy (but I don't think you want the DeoVR13/Quest 1 customers anymore sadly).
I think the actual explanation, without all the PR stuff, is that SLR wants people to update to DeoVR14 (for some reason, probably more logs/data measurements). DeoVR13 probably wasn't as drastic and didn't capture the infos they wanted (maybe related to their upcoming fidelity/reward program) and what's the best way to prevent people to rollback to DeoVR13? Forcing them to use DeoVR14. Now I get it alright!

Same Problem for me.
Most videos are not working. Examples:
"Can i Fuck You?"
"Can You Get In Her Good Grace?"
"Dinner Was So Perfect!"
"200th Release Celebration!"
Some are working:
"So New And Innocent!"
"Closer To Me"
"Pornstar XXXperience"
I hope this helps debugging
Pico4 (5.11.2.S)
DeoVR 13.12.2.1
JFYI: If you’re experiencing issues on supported headsets, please make sure to update your app first. The current version on Meta is 14.1.2305.
Issue: Technical Issue, Video issue - (Sept 25, 2024)
Player: DeoVR
Headset: Oculus Quest 1
Message:
Hi, Deovr and SLR are no longer working as of last evening for Quest 1 users. A bunch of us reached out to tech support and they mentioned there is nothing they can do due to compatibility issues between the quest 2 and 3 vs the quest 1 . They suggested trying to access the site through a web browser, however, when entering the virtual environment via the web browser, there is no way for me to filter or search for preferred categories. All i can see are the generic first page videos. The site has been rendered unusable for those of us using Quest 1, and unfortunately the support team seem to be unable to provide a workable solution. As a result, I would like to explore the option of terminating my membership and receiving a pro-rated refund of the balance that has been paid for the rest of the year. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Let me know if there may be any additional information needed.

Hey there,
Thank you for contacting our support team regarding your refund request for our services!
After thoroughly reviewing your account history, we can see that you have accessed content and benefited from the service. As we are sure you understand, we are unable to grant refunds for a digitally delivered service where that service has been utilized and content has been consumed. This policy is in place to ensure equity and uphold the quality of service for all our users.
In the future, when requesting a refund, kindly ensure that you do not access any content while initiating the refund request. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
However, since you have purchased an ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION, what we can suggest here instead is a partial refund totaling $56.70 It's worth noting that this arrangement ensures your continued access until 06.10.2024, as the refund amount covers this period.
If you agree with this proposal, please reply back to this email and we’ll be more than happy to accommodate this!
Kind regards,
Sara
to SLR
You can disregard the cancellation request.
I already purchased a new headset.
However I do not appreciate that my email was ignored for multiple business days and immediately replied to when I accessed my new headset with the excuse that "I have accessed content". Especially while I have been trying to troubleshoot this issue for the past week or so. Your support page says 2 business days for a reply. I also do not appreciate that the only refund being offered is a month's subscription when I have over 6 months of subscription time left.
I also do not appreciate the tech support team's nonchalant attitude towards this whole situation when they abruptly discontinued support for the Quest 1 headset with no prior warnings and no recourse for those of us affected... except to demand we throw away another $300-$400 t purchase a new headset.

To say the least, I am completely disappointed in how this entire thing has been handled. While I will finish my subscription since your refund policy is completely unfair, I will no longer be renewing my subscription going forward.

TheArtofLurk2 sorry about that.
Doing our best to provide the best in class service.
Your support is very appreciated. Bear with me.
And congrats on upgrade
I find it very strange that you guys don't seem to mind that some of your customers are now forced to use third party browsers to access the content they already paid for, and that your website doesn't even work properly on these other browsers. This is the exact opposite of "best in class"" sevice.
bootwraps I get it that they cannot keep supporting all devices into eternity. But the way they handled this is just not very consumer friendly. I have paid for a subscription for one year, and I have 8 months left. And then they stop supporting my platform. So I can't use those 8 months. I do not think that would hold up in court (no, I am not going to sue them for this, but this sort of thing is frowned upon in courts these days.)
The browser solution is not a solution: a lot of features are missing, such as search and categories. That renders the whole thing useless.
In short: I am not happy.
