Filename Rules for VR Format

Yum

Thanks for the feedback.
Are you referring to flat videos or VR videos please?
The Zoom/Scale and Tilt (Angle) works differently with non-VR and VR videos.

We will develop a feature to apply Zoom and Tilt adjustment to all videos in the next release for Quest.
Think it might help you in your case.

Cheers!

Yum reodi007 makes a good suggestion. I've the same issue when watching VR videos on SteamVR and needs to adjust Zoom and Angle everytime.

Hi, for me the relevant videos are VR videos ... most of them 180° clips (Side-by-Side).
It just would be cool to save those parameters sowehow ... either as a Default parameter for all VR videos or in the filename.

Thanks in advance.

OK we will note this down and talk about this feature request in our product meeting.
Cheers.

Not sure if this is the correct thread, but why is Skybox renaming all of my TV Shows on the Oculus Quest? I'm watching them change as it renames them. How do I turn this feature off? Hovering shows nothing. For example,

Before renaming:
Batwoman.S01E01.mkv
Batwoman.S01E02.mkv
Batwoman.S01E03.mkv

After renaming:
Batwoman
Batwoman
Batwoman

As you can see all of the season and episode numbers are now missing for some 75 TV shows that I have stored. I just want it to go back to the way I have the files saved on the drive. I don't need them renamed.

I've been renaming my locally installed 360 VR / 3D files on the Oculus Quest 2 with very good success. I've encountered a few files that I am not certain how to properly name. They are YouTube 360 VR, MKV files. Normally, I just append EAC360 to the end of the file. These particular files require me to manually choose YouTube and then side-by-side in order to play. I tried to name them as EAC360_SBS.mkv but this doesn't seem to resolve the issue. Is there a proper way to name the files?

Andy I completely agree with readonly@ Have you given this any additional consideration? I find myself having to set most videos to 180 and side by side. I do not want to have to edit the filenames to make sure they are some format, and it would be easy enough to manually change in the rare circumstance that it's not a 180 side by side.

There's a good chance that anyone is going to be watching files of the same format, so being able to set the default format in settings would probably be perfect.

Is there any way to indicate the more advanced display settings via filename?
Specifically, I want to set the 'swap left/right' advanced setting via filename.

Hello, please click Stereo Mode button on the right side of the control panel, select "Fisheye" option, then you'll find the VR190° option. In the next update, we'll add file naming for Fisheye190° videos.

is the DLNA filename recognision feature still not implemented? Because if I play a x265 encoded FULL SBS movie (f.e. named "Ready Player One (2018) {edition-3D-SBS} [2160p.x265].3d.sbs.mkv" first Part in {} is only for the Plex edition label), it is recognized as HALF SBS and not FULL SBS.

Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback.

Please add the keywords "Full_SBS" or "fullsbs" in the filename and see if it works. Here is the new naming rule.

So my new filename is "moviename.3d.fullsbs.mkv" and when I play it through my SMB network share it is getting recognized as full SBS but when I play it through the Plex server DLNA it gets recognized as half SBS. I´d prefer using the Plex DLNA for browsing my movies since it displays the correct poster/names etc..

Hi there,

Plex DLNA may change the filename. Has the filename ("moviename.3d.fullsbs.mkv") changed when you play it from Plex DLNA on your Quest?

If the filename changed, SKYBOX may fail to recognize the file as FULL SBS. If the filename is still showed as "moviename.3d.fullsbs.mkv", SKYBOX should correctly recognize it as FULL SBS.

Sq4nch

it seems like plex is only sending the following over DLNA: "moviename (release-year)". So that explains it. Seems like I have to manually select the 3d settings.
