Please readjust the gyroscope on your device.
When gyroscope doesn't work, the screen would keep drifting to one side.

We are working on the Rift version now...
There are very few of us so we try to stay focus on one thing at a time.
We will send you an email when the debug version is available.

Thank you for your patience and support.

Sorry for the late reply.

We will check this.
MiVR's management team was dismissed. Hence there will be no update on MiVR anymore.

Additional Info for the Freeze issue [Oculus Quest]
You write that an open issue at the moment is a freeze after 20min - via Network and locally. Never had that after 20min.
But since yesterday (or maybe 2 days) I have the problem that the Skybox Player freezes completly after 10-30s and I have to restart my Oculus Quest in a hard way. The controller does not respond in any way - so I cannot get out to the Menu.
In my case the issue occurs only when playing files via SMB/Network and NOT when a file is played locally. The files are mostly 3840x1920 but the video resolution ist not relevant - it freezes.

I have automatic updates enabled and Skybox ist the newest version ... but I cannot tell if the update happened in the last 2 days and the bug came with it.
I use my Quest since August and never had a problem with Skybox. So thanks for the good work.

Thanks in Advance. And keep up the good work.

since the last update I have been having a problem with some of my movies being grayed out. They do not have an hour glass display it shows the name of the movie and time but is just grayed out. Keep in mind I had no problems playing the movies before but now it seems I can't. nothings changed on my server everything is still in its original place. Latley tho it seems to be getting worse now i have half of a folder if not the entire folder of movies grayed out. i tried uninstalling on my server and head unit but only some are playable. do you have a link to an older version of skybox from earylier this year that i can use because i did not have this problem before the last update.

Hi there,

What VR device do you use and what server do you use please (SMB or DLNA or AirScreen)?
If possible, please share with us a video that is grayed out at contact@skybox.xyz so we could test on our side.

Thank you and looking forward to your reply.

im using a Oculus go with air screen. I will try to record the problem and send it to you asap.

Not at the moment ... my suspicion is that when the Wifi channels (5G) have a heavy load and my SMB server (Samba on Ubuntu) has some troubles keeping up the stream, maybe Skybox is first stuttering and then it hangs - If it would just stop playing, the issue wouldn't bother me so much but when the player hangs up the only thing I can do ist a hard reset of my Oculus Quest.
But I couldn't reproduce the problem in the last two days. So maybe its gone for the moment - hopefully.
I'll keep You informed If it will come up again.

Thanks a lot

Maglite Check their first sticky post about making Skybox a paid app. You will find ways to give them money.

Thx. for your great VR-Player; - simple & user-friendly !
My configuration is Oculus Go, Windows 10 and Western Digital My Cloud as mediaserver.
But using Skybox VR for windows with AirScreen was pretty frustrating.
Sometimes 2 out of 10 files were playable, sometimes 4 of 10, sometimes nothing at all.
Connecting to my WD-MyCloud-server didn't work either, I only ended up in an empty "public" - folder that's not visible from windows explorer. (MyCloud is probably Linux ?)
Anyway, I tried the other mediaserver-software you recommended, like Plex & Universal Media Server.
They somehow worked, but it looked like a mess in the Skybox-menu.
Yesterday I searched for other mediaserver-software, and stumbled upon Mezzmo.
http://www.conceiva.com/products/mezzmo/
I downloaded the trial-version, and it worked like a dream with Skybox.
They charge $ 30 for the pro-version (I bought it today), but the trial-version works for 14 days.
Worth trying out for anyone experiencing problems setting up mediaservers and use the Skybox-app.
Keep on your good work. :)

Hope to increase support for HDR.
