[SKYBOX VR] Quest v1.1.8: Supported WebDAV and AirPlay casting

Lucy

Hi all,

The official version of SKYBOX v1.1.8 has been released on Meta Quest.

What is new in v1.1.8:

Supported WebDAV.
Supported AirPlay casting(experimental feature).
Supported .MK3D format.
Fixed some known issues.

About WebDAV, you can access WebDAV with Basic Authentication. Currently SKYBOX supports accessing Alist, Nutstore, Yandex and PikPak server. To connect to the WebDAV server, please:

Go to SKYBOX's Network channel
Click the Add icon on the top left corner > select Add WebDAV server
Input your WebDAV server's IP address or domain name preceded by "http://" or "https://"
Enter your login credentials

Regarding AirPlay, SKYBOX supports streaming videos from your iPhone/Mac and mirroring your iPhone/Mac screen to Quest. Please note SKYBOX is the receiver. That is to say, you are not able to mirror your Quest screen to iPhone, Mac or Apple TV.

To stream a video from iPhone/Mac via AirPlay:

Make sure your iPhone and Quest device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network
On SKYBOX, click Global Settings > turn on Casting
On iPhone/Mac, play a video > tap the AirPlay button
Select the Quest device you want to use with AirPlay
Watch the video on your Quest device

Hope you enjoy the update! If you experience any issues when using this beta version, please reach out to contact@skybox.xyz or send us an in-app feedback.

Cheers,
SKYBOX STUDIO

Could you explain what's the point of renaming .mkv to .mk3d? I was hoping it would finally detect my side by side movie and the ratio, but I still have to know the ratio and set it into side by side mode.

version 2677 and 2680 have a delay on the bluetooth headset.
I use quest 3 and airpods 3.
I downgrade to 2660 and working good.
the delay setting in the application only works for -1 and -2 seconds. parameters such as -0.1s, 02s, and so on - do not work.

Hello, thanks for your feedback!

Does the audio delay issue happen to all videos? Could you please share with us one video sample for testing?

We tested some videos on 1.1.8(2680), and noticed that the delay issue would disappear when changing the delay settings to -0.5.

yes, in all videos.
setting -0.5 does not help. -1 - works, but it's too much.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

If you're using 1.1.8-2677, please follow the steps to switch to beta version 1.1.8-2680 and turn off "Concurrent Loading" in Global Settings.

To switch to beta version:
On Quest store, login your Meta account, find SKYBOX VR Player, scroll down the page, then you will find "Version", please click the dropdown menu to select "v1.1.8 Release: 1.1.8".

On your Quest, find SKYBOX VR Player in your App Library, click the three dots on the upper-right corner of SKYBOX. Then you will find the Update button. Just click it and wait for the installation.

I have mounted 115 and Baidu Netdisk on Alist and neither are playable, is this a bug or just not supported yet? Both of them can show thumbnails.
