Display Video Playing in

veality

Skybox is great. There is however one feature I would find very helpful. I want to do a presentation to a group of people watching the same video via skyscreen without the need to put a headset on myself controlling it from the PC client. While I can start and stop the video and see the time, I'd also like to see the video image playing. This will enable me to talk people through what they are seeing and enable me to keep an eye on the people I'm presenting too to insure they are not having any difficulty with the headsets.
I would also like to be able to move forward or back in the video using the PC client.

Hey veality,

Thanks for getting in touch with us.
This feature you are describing is already supported in SKYBOX PC Client.
When you start playing a video via Air Screen or directly from PC, the currently playing video will be highlighted with a yellow frame. You can right click on that video and choose "Preview Mode".

This allows you to enter playback on the PC Client, and you can control everything (play/pause/..) from there.

Thanks Andy,
I've tried that feature now but the preview buffers so its not usable and then I get an Microsoft Visual C++ Run Time Error and it stops. Is this an issue with the PC configuration? Seems to work if I don't use the Preview function while I use Air Screen.

Thanks

Andy

That's odd.
Please try to recreate the problem and send us a log file to support@skybox.xyz
The log file is located in C:\Users[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\SKYBOX\app.log.
The 'AppData' Folder is a hidden folder and you can show it by step in picture blow.
