Lucy I specifically used this app because I could view a folderless structure with all of my files in the same view. I have no idea where everything is now. This is really frustrating and I’m pretty sure not all of my files are showing up in the network interface. I have multiple hard drives with folders with the same name and it’s nearly impossible to navigate now. Can I downgrade to the previous version on my Oculus quest 2?

Why was skybox changed into a desktop streaming app?
The only thing I bought it for was to watch my vr catalogue... and now that features been replaced with something completely irrelevant....

It wouldn't be sooo bad if the network options actually worked...

Whats the last sane and stable release?

Hello, we will bring back the "All Files" folder in the next update. Please try again later.

At this point why did I pay for this when DeoVR does the same thing? Why was a feature REMOVED?

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.

We made some changes in v1.1.9. If you just want to view the files added to SKYBOX PC/Mac Client as usual, please go to "Network" channel and click the folder named "XX's AirScreen".

If you can't see any files under the AirScreen folder in "Network" channel, please go to our website to download the new PC/Mac Client v1.1.9.

The "AirScreen" channel now only supports streaming the desktop of your Windows PC. If you would like to share and stream your PC's desktop, please go to this channel.

Best regards,
Lucy

Hello, what happened to "All Files" ... it's gone since 1.19

cant access files

Lmao this is ridiculous I had to revert back to 1.1.7 to even look at my airscreen files again. PC app was updated to 1.1.9

Anybody else have suggestions for other apps? I think it is finally time to move on from skybox. Adding features while breaking older ones seems to be a running theme and we STILL don't have proper passthrough or favorites section

Hello,

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

If you're using SKYBOX PC Client v1.1.9, you should be able to see your files under the AirScreen folder in "Network" channel.

If you still can't see any files under the AirScreen folder in "Network" channel, we hope you can share with us the "Info" level logs.

You just need to click SKYBOX's Global Settings, change the Logging Levels to "Info", reproduce the issue, then click the BUG icon in the upper-right corner of Global Settings, and send us a bug report attached with logs(tick the "upload logs" box).

Best regards,
Lucy

When playing VR files, they are often buffering. Other files I haven't tried.

Hello, sorry for the inconvenience.

About the buffering issue, could you please share with us the "Info" level logs? We'd like to check the logs to further investigate the issue.

I really need a proxy setting.

The changing of the airscreen function is horrible! It should have been left as it was and if wanting to introduce Screen Mirroring, a new menu item titled "Screen Mirror" should've been added instead. Changing how AirScreen worked with the DLNA counterpart is frustrating as hell

Chadm

Where is passthrough! This app is frustrating, time to move to Deo as they have that feature....
