How to access favorited playlists and interactive videos in DEOVR?

paulsy101

On the SLR site via browser, I have favorited several playlists and interactive videos that I want to check out on in DEOVR on my Quest 3. The problem is, I can't find them in DEOVR after they have been favorited. When in DEOVR under playlists I can see favorites, but that just shows the individual videos I have favorited.

I know I can copy playlists and interactive videos and see them as if they were one of my own, but that means if whoever created them adds new videos to the playlist or updates their interactive video I won't see it.

Is there a secret menu I'm just not finding that allows you to see the non-video items that you have favorited?

paulsy101 should be to the left, if you click on favorites it'll open more of your list under it. That's where my Playlist are at.

Vrsumo2017 if you click on favorites

It's "Playlist" to the left
When you click on it it might look like it doesn't shows anything, but if move your control stick down while pointing at it it'll scroll threw your Playlist, there a side bar next to it too.

Vrsumo2017 Yes, I know about that, and I can see the playlists that I created there, but I can't see the playlists that others have created that I have favorited. If I go to someone's playlist and copy it, I can get to it from there, but like I said in my original post, if the creator of the playlist adds more videos, I won't see them. Only the videos that existed in the playlist at the time I copied it.

OK, so on the actual website, my library > my collection > videos ...up top you will see some categories the Playlist you save is there. Thats where I found mine that i saved from other users.

But let me try to find it in deovr in the headset.

Yeah, no score either bro, that's strange 🤔

I tried searching for "Playlist" too but it don't pull up anything, if I search on the actual website "Playlist" It gives me Playlist to view.

I'll try one more method if I find something I'll post it. But same here bro I didn't find it.

Vrsumo2017 I'll try one more method if I find something

Got it bro!

So make sure hit copy, and then I guess rename it, that's what I did, but hit copy then save and it'll be in the your favorites to the left in deovr on slr.

I got it to work bro, Playlist was there 👍

paulsy101

Vrsumo2017 Yeah, that is what I have been doing. 2 problems though. 1, if the original creator of the playlist adds more videos to the playlist, you won't get them in your copied playlist. You will just have the same videos that were there when you made the copy.

The 2nd problem is, where do you find the favorited interactive/BYOJ videos? Again, you can make a copy and find them in the Playlist section, but if it gets updated by the creator of the interactive/BYOJ, you only have the way it was when you made the copy.

paulsy101 you can make a copy and find them in the Playlist section, but if it gets updated by the creator of the interactive/BYOJ, you only have the way it was when you made the copy.

I think maybe that's how the liking the heart works, if you "like" a studio you get notified about uploads, you can save the Playlist, but maybe you'll be notified when a new video has been added and then u can decide to add it to your copied Playlist.

But I see what you saying. 👍

Vrsumo2017 but maybe you'll be notified when a new video has been added

I had copied a couple of playlists quite a while ago (one of them was your PT playlist) but never got any notifications about added videos.

Vrsumo2017

SchnuppiLilac really? Would be helpful if they could add that. 💡

Maybe it's suppose to work that way, maybe
it's broken 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! We'll have a look at how playlists work 👀

I brought this up QUITE some time ago. I love to wander through videos using Playlists of others with similar tastes. I'm surprised they haven't done anything with this.

Here is a small update: currently, when you copy a playlist or interactive video on the SLR website, it creates a duplicate rather than a reference, meaning that the copy will not automatically update when the original creator adds new content. This is expected behavior.

However, we understand how automatic updates and notifications for playlist changes would improve the experience, and we can review this as a potential feature request for future updates.

But now it is even worse. DeoVR obviously does not provide the ability to scroll through playlists. So I used to use the web browser for this feature. But now I can't even do that, as I am forced into the new Hub. So I no longer have ANY ability to use playlists appropriately on my Quest.

sportclimber So I no longer have ANY ability to use playlists appropriately on my Quest.

Yeah you do, sum ability...but you won't get any updates if new videos are added to the Playlist, I copied some Playlist and now they're in my list to view in deovr. But I won't get any new videos added or notifications if playlist creator adds any new videos to their list. But am I a individual that needs that? Not really but would be cool to have it as an option, but saving and copy Playlist is great too because what if the creator deletes there account, their Playlist will be deleted?

I'm just saying there is sum ability to view playlist in deovr. Copy and saved for now. 🥂👍
