What's an easy way to tell what the right video settings are for the generated AI PT re: fisheye vs equirectangular and which lens to select? Or do you just have to go by eye?
Autodetect hasn't worked for either upload for me so far.
SLR Drive Vision and Future
Everyone is getting back from the holidays. Things should start getting faster now
Ah, it's only firefox that didn't work with autodetect. Worked fine on Edge.
It may have been explained elsewhere but does SLR Drive accept av1 files?

@doublevr Why not just have unique hashes for uploaded videos to avoid limited drive space for customers and the need to reprocess the same video uploaded by different users? Generated scripts and passthrough masks could be streamed through DeoVR to a video stored locally by the customer while SLR saves money on bandwidth, storage costs, and video script/PT processing costs, as well as uploads taking forever due to slow customer upload speeds. It just seems like a no-brainer to me and I would be willing to pay for it of course, unless adding functionality to stream the PT mask separately from the video is too difficult at this time.

@doublevr can you look at this video and explain why it won't do passthrough? I lost one of my two tokens but I don't know why it won't do passthrough. It seems to play back fine unlike some other videos I uploaded. It seems to meet all the criteria but for some reason it won't run ai pass through

@doublevr As soon as I saw the SLR drive interface, the pricing model that came to mind was to charge for uploads, for passthrough credits, and usage-based billing monthly based on out-going data transfer.
To wit, based on the value proposition to me, these seemed reasonable.
$0.50 per GB for upload credits.
$5 - $10 per 1hr passthrough credit
$0.10 per GB streamed from my SLR drive, billed monthly.
Since I'm a lifetime sub, you haven't gotten any additional revenue from me since my one-time purchase. Dangling the prospect of conveniently creating passthrough versions of my favorite files from my collection is how you will convert me into more revenue.
metrocube2 so $14 to $19 to upload, convert, and watch one 15gb video… once? No thank you.

Will my AI PT credits automatically renew? Or will there be an option to purchase more soon?
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.
