jay22111 are you using bluetooth headphones? Meta pushed some changes to their bluetooth backend and fucked all the media apps (browser, Deo, HereSphere). I'm not sure if it's something they should fix, or app devs should do on their codebase. I'm also not even sure if this is the code issue, or two separate things (I mean, the bluetooth stuff and the H264 playback) 💀

Heresphere thread about it: https://itch.io/t/4218440/videos-freezing-when-going-through-different-points-of-video

      PS: yes, I've faced this issue too. It's always when I'm using my bluetooth headphones.

      doublevr Hey I am just using the site, not sure if its h264, or h265. I was just googling and noticed a trend. I am using the slr site when having these issues, on vr videos not flat. hope this helps track it down.

          thatoculusdude That is crazy, I do use bluetooth headphones, humm that is interesting. Last night I updated to v71 from v69 will see if this helps things. Ill also test out headphones vs no headphones.

              jay22111 let us know when you test it. This issue with BT headphones seems really weird.

                  I noticed BT headphones effecting playback a while back on the Q3. I just use a short AUX cable now and I am able to keep the noise canceling features of the headphones on too...

                  jay22111 Recently, last month or so DEOVR will go to a black screen when playing videos

                  Bro I mention this a while back, it still does it till this day, it goes black, I can't do anything, so I wait about a minute and then it plays, but after that it will be lagging when using menu settings sliders, videos will play good, but moving the pointer and selecting settings it will lag. It's been doing this for long time now, does it happen often? No but it happens on weekly basis. Does it on Pico 4 too. 🤷‍♂️

                      iddqd I normally have BT headphones on so I really can't say, but I'm sure it's done it with out BT phones.

                          doublevr Verified everything is h265, took a while to find it but all good there.

                            iddqd This appears to be a bluetooth issue . Playback while using a bluetooth headphone performance is ok for a little bit, however if you switch between say 5 videos it all starts to fail. I also noticed one time disabled bluetooth while deovr was running and the entire headset freaked out. Another time a video was in a state where it was running, with sound but a stuck picture. I quit the app but audio keep playing after the app closed via the BT headphones. Do you see the same thing in testing?

                            Wired headphone tested, none of these situations happened.

                                I've come across that too a few times, the app closed but the audio was still playing for like minute. 🤦‍♂️
