[SKYBOX VR] Quest v1.1.5: Supported YouTube videos, Network images, and more

Lucy

Dear friends,

We have a new update coming to Quest store. It brings a number of highly requested features along with some fixes and improvements. Details can be found below!

What's new in v1.1.5:

Supported watching YouTube videos
Supported viewing Network images
Added presentation mode
Improved file/folder name recognition
Modified 3D Full-SBS Matching function

YouTube channel is now available for you to view and search for more video content in SKYBOX VR. Meanwhile, SKYBOX now supports viewing images stored in your SMB share and DLNA server as requested.

We also added back the Presentation Mode in this version. When you turn on "Presentation Mode" (like Kiosk mode) in Global Settings, videos will automatically play from the beginning everytime you put on your headset. Please note that if you put on the headset quickly after putting it off (less than 5 seconds), the video may start from where you left off.

We also improved the file/folder name recognition. If your file name or folder name contains the following key words, SKYBOX will automatically recognize the video as corresponding stereo mode.

We would love to hear your comments about this version. If you experience bugs, please click Global Settings and send us a bug report. You can also directly send feedback to contact@skybox.xyz.

Thank you for your longtime support!

Cheers,
SKYBOX STUDIO

Are legacy keywords like 3dh, F180, TB_360 and EAC360 still supported?

1.15的VR200比例太大了，请改回1.14 VR200的放大比例

您好，

感谢您的反馈，抱歉给您带来不便！

我们在v1.1.4和v1.1.5上播放相同的VR200度视频，暂时没有发现画面比例有差异。请问您能否发一下您看的VR200度视频或两个版本的对比截图？视频可发送至：contact@skybox.xyz。

若您想切回v1.1.4版本，可参考以下步骤切换版本：

通过手机端 Meta Quest 应用或网页登录 Quest 商店，访问 SKYBOX VR Player 应用详情界面
确保您已登录 Facebook/Meta 账号，然后点击“版本”旁的下拉菜单，选择“v1.1.4 Release: 1.1.4”
带上头显，卸载重装应用

Can I use the left and right joystick to switch to the next SMB image instead of automatically switching at time. Also, can I switch between images without popping up a control bar.

Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback!

I'll pass your first feature request to our dev team. We also want to know how many people want this feature.

About the second issue, we'll try to fix it in the next few updates.

I also would like this feature but would want to be able to zoom in and out. For volume, this doesn't interest me and there is a button on the oculus itself that can be used for this.
I would also like the ability to change the amount of seconda in-between each image.
And also, yes. Have an option to not show the search bar when a new image loads.

Hi there,

Hope you're doing well!

In the new beta v1.1.6, the control bar will not pop up when you switch between images. You can switch to beta v1.1.6 and test it out.

The steps to switch channels:

Visit SKYBOX VR Player product detail page with browser or Meta Quest mobile app. (Make sure you login to your Facebook/Meta account)
Click "Version" and select "v1.1.6 Release: 1.1.6"
Uninstall and reinstall SKYBOX on your Quest.

Feel free to contact us if you have any problems.

Best regards,
Lucy

我的Quest2,使用目前的最新版本,比如看斗破苍穹,开幕画面的黑色,还有任何画面的黑色,都有很严重的色块现象,我以为是我屏幕坏了,但是我更换4XVR播放器,发现完全没有这个问题(我发现了,是开启视频高清画质导致的,开启后黑颜色全部变成大色带色块了,其他颜色正常)

您好，

感谢您的反馈，抱歉给您带来不便！

我们测试了一些视频，发现特定HDR视频可能存在色阶断层的问题，但我们不确定这和您遇到的问题是否一致。希望您能将您看的斗破苍穹视频分享给我们，以便我们进行测试。

定位问题后，我们会尽快修复。感谢您的理解与支持！

Hi Ted,

I'm so sorry, the previous naming rules will not work for the new version. Please contain the exact same key words in the above table, then SKYBOX will automatically recognize the video as corresponding stereo mode. Thank you for your understanding.

If you have any suggestions about the naming rules, please tell us know.

lulu

Lucy 已解决,感谢

What is the naming rule for full SBS?

Lucy

irisis
Hi there, the current version doesn't have a naming rule for Full SBS file. We'll add a naming rule for Full SBS file in the next big update v1.1.6. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Good work! I updated to v1.1.5 from v.1.1.2 and see that the menu/UI no longer pops up when going to the next video. 😄
Now the same change needs to be done for slideshows of images 😆

Hi there, the issue will be fixed in the next update v1.1.6. 😃

A feature of manually going next/previous image through the controller or gestures is required.

Thanks!
