Will my AI PT credits automatically renew? Or will there be an option to purchase more soon?
SLR Drive Vision and Future
shankpot12 I respect that you have a different opinion. That said, I'd give you $20 right now for your two passthrough credits if you still had them. I have videos I want to passthroughify.
doublevr ok thanks
doublevr soft launch was Dec 17 - is a credit refresh planned for month end or something? Pretty great so far but interested in testing other studios.

Just an idea: a lot of people will probably upload the same videos (e.g. from czechvr). Index this videos with a hash to prevent duplicates on the storage. Same for the AI generated stuff. It does not make sense to run the generation again and again for the same videos. Then you can probably reduce the prices 
flo That's sharing copyrighted content and will get them in legal trouble
The video I uploaded is stuck in a state where the upload failed, and I can't resume or delete it.

Is it? The video gets only listed in the users drive when they attempt to upload the original file. From a users point of view, noting is really different. Only the backend will be different. The server could check the upload data after 100mb or something like that, built a unique hash of the first 100mb of data and check if it’s already indexed. If so, the video appears in the users drive and if not, the upload continues and a new indexed hash is created which will be only accessible for the uploading user, until a second user uploads the same file. If this happens, two users would have access to the same file but no one else. This would not grant unauthorized access to files and it could save a lot of storage and traffic. It would also improve the user experience because of uploading will be much faster if the file was already uploaded by someone else.
flo The net result of the end effect isn't the issue. It's the presumption that SLR has any rights at all to knowingly distribute content that they don't expressly have an agreement to do so. By tokenizing and storing copyrighted content on their server for distribution, they would be breaking copyright laws. It doesn't matter that the end recipients might have the rights to play and store the content. The issue is that SLR doesn't, and thus can't tokenize the content no matter how much they wish they could.
There's no legal way around this barring making legal agreements with copyright holders, and that's too much work TBH.

I still dont get, what SLR Drive is!! ^^
I use DEOVR on my Quest, thats it! No haptic stuff, now Passthrough. Is there anything I want from it?
Ssiebert204 Basically you pay SLR for the privilege of watching your own vids (from sources other than SLR), along with toy script and passthrough features.

Hairsational the same like you pay SLR to bitch all day long.
And paying for a car just to occupy space in your garage. And for a phone...
doublevr seems like mine should've renewed by now. Can you check into my account and see what's up? VRLOVER99, unlike my handle here.
VRLover69 same- it’s been like 6 weeks. I just assumed they aren’t renewing until the full release.
I really am looking forward to the drive, but I think the credit system could be improved. Instead of having one credit for 90 minutes, why not scale it to having 90 credits for 90 minutes? That way you wouldnt feel like wasting your credits simply because you prefer to upload shorter scenes.
Why should someone who generates passthrough for ten 9 minute scenes pay 10 times as much as someone doing a single 90 minute scene? Its the same load on the server if im not mistaken.
I feel like this just incentivizes people to upload longer scenes to not feel like theyre wasting money. Maybe people will even start editing a bunch of shorter videos to a single longer one to circumvent this.
I get that you are probably planning with people not using their credits to the full, so I would be fine with paying more per minute if I actually get to use all of my minutes. Just feels more fair that way
For those who haven't been following the changes made in the original post, there have been a number of proposed SLR Drive pricing plans.
2TB storage for $29.99/mo, including 30 monthly AI credits
500GB Storage for $14.99/mo including some 30 monthly AI credits
500GB Storage for $14.99/mo including some unlimited streaming only AI PT and Scripts
500GB Storage for $14.99/mo including some 20 monthly streaming only AI PT and Scripts
The latest change reducing it from unlimited tokens down 20 tokens isn't a particularly attractive plan to me.
What a roller coaster. Credits are just a clunky idea, at least the original 30 matched the 500gb storage size for your average 6k video. Was pretty excited about them ditching the idea of credits so it wasn’t something to worry about. I don’t remotely care about storage- it is just to facilitate passing in the PT tech to third party videos not in the SLR portfolio. It’s not even that the cost per credit went up effectively 50%, it’s that you cant even utilize the entire storage for PT in a single month most likely.

fuccaneer lol how are you tracking these?
The whole thing is still in development. We will release a quick hack for those looking to get extra storage and tokens. Fully functional sub is coming mid year.
I'm pushing for "unlimited" credits limited storage, but tech is pushing back. Let's see. It's still being debated.
