[SKYBOX VR] Quest Beta v1.1.0: Big Update is Coming and Needs Beta Testers

Lucy

🎙️ Hey everyone,

Over the past several months, we’ve been working hard on code refactoring of SKYBOX VR player to further improve your viewing experience. Later on, we will roll out a major update (v1.1.0) packed with new features and improvements, and we’d like you to help testing them out!

✨ Some Highlights about the New Version:

FASTER loading speed
HDR support (Your patience is much appreciated)
AV1 codec support
SHORTCUT to SMB folders
And more...

⚠️ A Few Notes About the Beta Testing:

This new beta version is open to any user with an Oculus Quest 1 or Quest 2. If you haven't purchased SKYBOX yet, we'd like to offer you the free code of SKYBOX as a thank-you gift after a valid submission of questionnaire after the testing.
Selected participants will be invited to the beta testing channel. We will continue to send out more invitations as the testing goes.
Please do not submit duplicate entries.
Beta version is not perfect and you might encounter issues here or there. Be sure to reach out at contact@skybox.xyz when you have any questions. Your genuine and detailed feedback is important for us to make it better.

If you are interested in being a beta tester, please kindly take one minute to fill this form. And we will send you the invitation once beta v1.1.0 releases.

⌛️ Coming Next:
We are also working actively on optimizing SKYBOX Windows/Mac Client. Please stay tuned for the new release.

Thank you all for your support and hope you enjoy SKYBOX!

Cheers,
SKYBOX STUDIO

要打开“追踪功能”这很糟糕，请修复，我无法使用。

This update took away the “disable pinch” button for hand tracking!

How can I bring it back?

Lucy

Hello,

Please place your left hand palm facing your face, pinch your thumb and index finger together when the "Menu" button appears. When the hand image gets lighter, then you've disabled the pinch feature.

To turn it on, just pinch your fingers and wait for the hand image gets clearer / whiter.

Note that this version is not perfect. We'll continue to optimize the features and functions.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,
Lucy

Are Oculus Quest 2 screens capable of supporting HDR? Is there any example of a video to test this visually?
subscribed to the test version, updated yesterday. Today I'm watching YouTube to find examples on what it can be checked)

I've just never seen HDR and how do I know it works?

eta

The HDR (I assume) appears to be severely oversaturating videos on the Quest 2 compared to being played on the previous version.
Can an option be added to disable the functionality to also see if this is the cause?

NeonShark

eta I'm having the same problem, too much red.

Lucy

Hello friends,

Thanks so much for your feedback!

It may due to the HDR feature. Would you mind sharing with us the oversaturated video file? We'd like to check the file and further look into this problem.

Besides, you may not able to disable the HDR feature manually at present. You can click "Advanced Setting" on the control panel to adjust the saturation if the video is too red.

We'll continue to improve the beta version's functions and stability. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,
Lucy

I don't know if it's due to this new version, but there is a lot more "loading time" when you fast forward through some videos. It was much faster before.
Some videos are choppy, as if the Quest is having trouble playing the video. I could try with downgraded version to compare and warn you

Lucy

Tonio
Hello,

Do you mean that you have to wait for several seconds when you fast forward to a particular time?

How do you watch videos, via SMB, DLNA, AirScreen or from local storage?

Let us know if you have any other problems or suggestions.

Best regards,
Lucy

smb一直提示该用户没有权限.我必须在服务器共享设置中关掉加密数据访问才可以点进去.
但是其他应用都可以正常连接..

添加外网的SMB服务器似乎不支持ipv6的解析..无法添加

Lucy

您好！

第一个问题可能是由SKYBOX支持SMB v3导致的，您可以看一下其他能正常连接的应用是否支持SMB v3。

如果可以的话，请告诉我们你使用的服务器的详细配置、型号、系统等，以便我们尝试重现该问题，进而定位问题。

另外，SKYBOX不支持外网SMB和IPV6。

如您在使用时遇到任何问题，欢迎随时与我们联系。

祝好，
Lucy

Lucy 其他应用也支持的.我的服务器是win server 2022 .用的服务器管理器共享创建的SMB..
