Quest Beta v1.0.2 available for testing with support to search SMB IP address

sharky1000

Another small issue, but not very imporant to fix: If you are in the connection search-screen, focus an selection-button and you drop out (with the oculus-button) to the oculus menue, you will still see a white dot on this button. - On some Oculus positions it looks like the dot is sending a white laser-beam direct to your eye. - I tried to screen capture this, but it is impossible, because the white line to your eyes will not show up in the screen mirroring.

another Question to Yum

Im not sure, that I updated to the right develop-version of Skybox. - My App shows Version 1.0.2 without (311) and release-date: 20192105 (translated to english date-format)

I emailed Yum and got this:
Hi there,

After input the IP address, click OK and SKYBOX will try to coonect The server address you input. If you are not able to connect, what error message do you see please?

If you still encounter the issue, please
send the log file Android/Data/xyz.skybox.player/Files/PersistentData/OutLogs.txt and SKYBOX/SKYBOX_debug_log.txt to me so we could study what's going wrong.

After work today I'll try to set back up and send the logs. I have an UnRaid server and running this on the Oculus Quest 2

sharky1000 Based on the log I got, I'm showing auth failure as the app is trying to log in using "anonymous" and "password". If you check your logs you might see the same thing.

I think all I need is to be able to input my credentials in the manual entry window and I'll be all set!

sharky1000 As a test, I created an account "anonymous" with password "password" and that worked, but there's no option afterwards to change the credentials so it's not much of a workaround, lol.

We just released another beta version 1.0.2(315). Please try it and see if it fixes your issue.

@NoBloodyABCorD Thank you for this info.

My suggest is that the version we are using still don‘t support SMB V. 3.0. - My SMB 1.x shares from other devices are detected and shown off during network-scan fine.

Yum

sharky1000

Starting from v1.0.2, SKYBOX supports SMBv3. We tested it with Windows and Mac in the office.
Would you please try the v1.0.2(315) version to see if it fixes your issue?

Meanwhile, how do you set up the SMB please? Is it the "Sharing" on Mac system?

Looking forward to your reply.

Cheers,
Yum

Hi Yum,

thank you so much for your update.

With this update my iMac smb connection was found during the scan and the login works fine.

Now I’m realy happy to continue to use the best VR Videoplayer for the Quest on the market 😀👍

Let me guess, the issue was smb 3.0?

Thank you for the update! Really appreciate it.
We fixed some minor issues but I'm not an engineer myself so I wouldn't point out which results your issue before...

Anyway, glad it got fixed. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Cheers.

Hello, i am currently testing the beta version to access files on my Win10 machine via SMB. I do have a collection folder for music videos which contains symbolic links to actual files (and folders) on different drives. These links work fine while playing them on PC and also using SkyBox Oculus version.

The current beta does not show any files or linked folders at all, although the latest official version was at least able to show the linked folders and also access the files within them as far as i can remember. But it also could not display single linked files.

Would it be possible to include a feature to work with symbolic linked files ?

I will need to check how to support it and get back to you later.

Hello, I am testing beta 1.0.2. It immediately crashes, when scanning for SMB shares. Version 1.0.1 did the same. Let me know, if I can be of more assistance.

Yum

wuffzack

Yes.
After the crash, please connect your device to PC and send us (contact@skybox.xyz) the log file that located in:
Android/Data/xyz.skybox.player/Files/PersistentData/OutLogs.txt
SKYBOX/SKYBOX_debug_log.txt
We then could analyze the file and see what's going wrong.
Looking forward to your email.

The beta does not really load with my Quest 2, I get just a black screen with a visual guardian. I tried to re-install it, reset the view and unfortunately there are no log-files (I think because the app does not technically crash). Any idea what I could try?

Hi there,

Please send us an email at contact@skybox.xyz and share with us your Oculus registered email. I will need to remove you from the beta testing and see if the store version 1.0.1 works for you.

Cheers,

Could you please support change port when i add my own samba server.
I setup a samba server on the internet, which use port 6070 i can access use solid explorer on my phone anywhere smothly. I eager to have this function on skybox, that will be awesome.

had tested to add my laptop's share folder(smb) in a different subnet.
My laptop's ip is 192.168.1.10(first router), and my quest2's ip is 10.10.6.x(second router), i can watch video through share, it works grate.

some questions:
1. Can i delete my added smb server?
2. How to change my saved password? seems no options for change saved username/password.

Yum

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes. Once you are in the added smb server, on the right upper corner you could see a "wrench" icon. Click the icon and click "Sign out", then you should be back to the list of servers and the added server will be deleted.
Again, click the "wrench" icon and click "switch account".
