Hello
Thanks for the best movie player available !!!
My old samsung s7 can play 5k 3d sbs 60 fps and i was very disappointed when oculus go can't handle it ..
What is the highest 3d sbs resolution that will work on oculus quest?
5k / 6k hevc 60 fps?
or is oculus quest just as bad at playing high-end movies as oculus go?

    According to our test, Quest's performance regarding high-resolution video playback is somewhat identical to Go's.
    Consider the fact that Quest is designed for games...

    On the other hand, we are developing a solution to support up to 8k video playback on Go/Quest.
    This feature is expected to be released in beta channel in June.

    Cheers.

        wooow!! That sounds amazing!
        Can everyone try the "beta" or is it just for "beta testers"?
        How can I find the beta channel?

        I will get my oculus quest in late May and i would like to become a beta tester (if it's not for the public)

          Is this the reason why my Quest stutters while streaming 5k content from the Skybox PC app?

            Hi there,

            Sorry for the late reply.
            What exactly is the resolution of your video and is it h264 or h265 please?
            Does it happen to all videos you have?
            You may want to try sideload the video in Quest and see if it stutters when playing in SKYBOX.

            If the video playback is smooth, then one possible reason is that your bandwidth is not enough to support the playback.

                That solution to support up to 8k video playback sounds very interesting. Would it require a PC that just streams the area of the video that the user is currently looking at? Or is it a standalone solution?

                    I would prefer not to answer this question sorry :P
                    The solution is coming very soon. Please be patient with us.
                    Cheers.

                        Yum
                        I fully understand that.
                        Looking forward to your solution and thanks for all the good work!

                            What month will be released skybox app for oculus go, which will support 5K video playback? If it really happens then your program must be the best #1, thank you

                              On Oculus Go, according to our test, 5760x2880 h264 videos would play smoothly.
                              What exactly the resolution you are referring to please?
                              The support for 8k playback solution is expected to release in beta channel in early July.

                              Cheers.

                                  Is it possible to play a video on skybox 5400x2700 H.265 (60fps)?

                                    Hi Yum, when update comes out which will support 8К? I wonder if it will play videos 5400x2700 H.265?

                                      Right now you should be able to play 5400x2700 H.264 60fps files in SKYBOX.
                                      We are working on the optimization of the solution right now. It's not ready yet.

                                      Thanks.

                                          Yum - is there an update on 6k+ playback on the Quest? Happy to test if a beta is available.

                                              Unfortunately we have to delay the release date because there are still room for optimizations.
                                              The new ETA would be the end of August.

                                              Thank you for your support and patience.

                                                  Yum this is still great news! TYVM for this amazing product!

                                                      I agree, thanks for the update. Good to know that you are still working on it!

                                                        Will the quality of 5/6k video be the same on the Go as the Quest? Basically is there any reason to get the Quest if all you want is better resolution/clearer 3D VR videos? I was considering "upgrading" to the Quest but I don't game, I just want the best quality video for 3D VR. Thank you.

                                                          thedude1980 The Quest has higher resolution (20% more pixels), better lenses (less good rays / bleeding) and OLED display technology (instead of LCD). The Quest image looks a bit sharper. Colors and black levels are noticeably better. Moody / dark scenes will look much better. Skin will look "more alive" compared to LCD. Other than that - there should be no differences. Even though I dont know the details of skyboxs implementation of "viewport". The SOC can decrypt the same kind of video codecs and that is still the limit of the device.
