Sorry for the late reply.
This is in our roadmap and we will develop this in the later release (ETA is possibly the October).
Please be patient with us
Cheers.

Hello Yum,
Is there any progress on this one at all please?

Hi Richard,

We have added this feature to SKYBOX. However, in the future we will not release new updates on Daydream.
Here is the post on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/daydream/comments/dq4voa/skybox_discontinues_support_on_daydream_and_heres/
Thanks for your support and sorry for the inconvenience.

This is genuinely very disappointing, I think your app was great and I really enjoyed using it, this was a relatively minor impact, but I thought a useful feature. I am surprised you have thrown in the towel citing bad reviews, but i think that's just the nature of reviews of restaurants, hotels, apps, films. People have very little context or only think in black and white, it's good or it's bad.
I guess there is no point imploring you to bring it back as I have moved to a Pixel 4 XL and I am even more frustrated with Google for not supporting the Daydream platform on there

Well... we are still very active on Oculus's devices you know.
Get a Go/Quest and we will see you there

Hi Yum,

Could you please let us know how to add a custom thumbnail to a movie please. I have tried adding a .jpg with the same name as the movie and added the image to the movies folder / picture folder / skybox folder...

The image doesn't over-write the video thumbnail (trying to add the movie poster so the gallery looks good when choosing a movie.

I have also installed a tag editor (mac: Subler) and updated the MP4 Tag artwork with the movie poster. The thumbnail of the video in mac finder directory has updated and if I drag that to my oculus quest movie folder, I can see the movie in Skybox but the artwork is still the default whatever photo of some part of the movie...

Cheers, Shaun.

Hi Shaun,

The custom thumbnail is still a temporary solution and we have already confirmed there is a bug related to this.
We will develop this feature in the next release on Quest/Go.
Please be patient with us.

Cheers.

The thumbnail generation tends to crash the app for me on large folders - Could we also have a menu option to just disable the thumbnail generation entirely?

What VR device do you use please?
If the app crashes, then it's possible that in the large folder you have some "invalid" video files, meaning corrupted or still-downloading videos.

Hi There,

I use skybox on the Oculus Quest, do we have a solution for this yet? If so how can this be done as there are very few options from within the app?

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work
