[SKYBOX] Quest v2.0.0 (Preview): Multiplayer Mode, Dolby Vision and Blu-ray ISO

Hello, thank you for reporting these!

About the first issue, we will fix it in a future update.

About the second issue, we've reproduced it and we will further investigate it. It seems during loop playback, SKYBOX treats the video as a new one and resets the aspect ratio or Full SBS Matching to default.

You can try adding the keyword "Full_SBS" or "fullsbs" in the filename or folder name. SKYBOX will automatically turn on "Full SBS Matching" if it detects "Full_SBS" or "fullsbs" in the file name or folder name.

In addition, we really appreciate your suggestions! And we will have a discussion about them later.

Lucy Thanks for responding! I’ve done a Skybox factory reset which didn’t help. I also did a factory reset of the Quest 3 itself which also didn't help. It’s only happening on one headset, so I’m trying to figure out what is different. I rolled back to 1.19 and upgraded back to 2.0 - no change. Next plan is to create a brand new meta ID on the set. I’ll let you know if that works.

@Lucy Factory resetting the Quest, creating a new Meta ID and avatar and repurchasing the app didn’t change anything. Same avatar error message on creating/entering any room and notification asking whether I’m sure I want to leave the room. Don’t know what else to try, but one curious thing might help you diagnose: when I do enter the room, my avatar is “blank” i.e. not dressed or configured as in the rest of the OS. Somehow the avatar settings aren’t being seen by Skybox VR. Related to that, it would be great if one could choose whether to see guest avatars or not. And they should certainly disappear once the movie starts. Hope that all helps!

Do the new features from 2.0.0 only apply to local files? When I try to search or long press on network or Airscreen files the options aren't available or tell me I need to download Airscreen 1.1.10 or newer. I've tried resetting, delete/reinstall, etc. I'd love to be able to search my PC files and even better i I could delete files on the PC straight from the headset.

Hello, sorry that we haven't released the new AirScreen Client yet. If you are using AirScreen(SKYBOX PC Client) to stream PC files, please kindly wait for AirScreen update. I will keep you noticed when it is available for download.

Hello, I’m having an issue in the v2 preview when viewing full SBS images — the colors appear very washed out.

Hello, we'll fix this bug in the next build. As a temporary workaround, please go to SKYBOX's "Global Settings" and turn off "Pro-HD Quality". Let us know if you encounter other problems!

Lucy Hey! I'd like to confirm that I'm also experiencing this bug.
I'm on version 2.0.1

I've tried

clearing the SkyboxVR cache
pressing the factory reset button within the app
editing my Meta avatar
rebooting my headset and trying all of the above

I can see my Meta account username and id from within the Skybox app, so it seems to be connected to my Meta account successfully.

When creating my own room, the error message pops up, but I can simply hit "cancel" and stay in the room.

If I try to invite another player, them attempting to join gives a network error message.
If another player invites me, when I join the room it crashes their application, while I get the "Create your Meta avatar before joining this room" message

I'm on a Meta Quest 3.

It's a pretty frustrating bug, and is impeding my main use case for SkyboxVR (testing out the multiplayer).

I'll be on the lookout for updates and trying again in case there are fixes, but if there's a workaround I'd appreciate if someone could let me know.

@"Lucy"#No problem! My partner and I watched our first “multiplayer” movie tonight and it was mostly a good experience. Here’s some constructive feedback:

Very important that we get an option to hide avatars completely or make them fade as the movie starts. We watch in movie chairs which means we have our hands in our laps and they can become visible in the peripheral vision. If we raised a hand to scratch our face, we suddenly had avatar arms in our faces!
Whenever we paused the movie to go to the kitchen or the bathroom, the room closed and we had to go through the invitation process a few times to get to the end.
It would be great if the inviting party could get a confirmation when the invited party accepts the invitation. There doesn’t seem to be any way to know for sure.

For a first build, 2.0 is very promising!

Awesome update! Multiplayer, Dolby Vision, and Blu-ray ISO support make SKYBOX even better on Quest.

Hi,
I tested Emby and found that it currently doesn't support multi-part videos. For example, with files like SSVR-001-pt1, pt2..., Skbybovr only shows SSVR-001-pt1, even though Emby does recognize the other parts. I think this feature is quite important since most AV titles nowadays are split into parts.

Hello, thank you for your feedback.

I'm sorry that the current version 2.0.0 doesn't support displaying the additional parts like pt2, pt3 or etc. If this feature is available in a future update, I will let you know!

The Search function in Airscreen folders ask for airscreen client version 1.1.10. Where can I get this windows version? Thank you

Hi everyone!

I read that in Skybox v2.0.0 multiplayer mode, you can watch videos together as long as the file path and filename are identical on all devices, or via the same SMB/WebDAV/Plex server.

I usually watch live streams or online video links using VLC or another player on my PC.

👉 Is there any way to watch that kind of content together with friends in Skybox multiplayer?
Like maybe using a shared WebDAV or Plex setup with a .m3u8 stream? Or any workaround?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, I seem to have an issue with the Beta and Plex.

When I try to add my Plex server I get the Plex login screen, once adding username/password I just get a browser stuck on a white screen on the address http://127.0.0.1:3002

If I close the browser I can see my server but it’s greyed out with an exclamation mark.

I’ve tried restating the app and the headset and reading the server but it’s still the same.

Any ideas?

Lucy

Hello, thank you for your feedback.

When the server shows as grayed out, please wait for a while and then check if you can access your server normally.

Neil_1980

Lucy finally got it working…. It was something my end… I messed with the docker that runs my plex and the exclamation mark vanished! (Though still have a blank web browser window when I add the server)

Are there any plans for this to update what’s been viewed in Plex against a specific Plex user or is that beyond the scope of the app?

Thanks for the great work!

Hello
just as before while using Airscreen there is buffering and freezing; can't send report via Skybox on the Quest.
