  • Yum Thank you for the tip. Yes deinstalling and reinstalling did do the trick. Skybox starts now in under 20seconds.
    A new kind of error replaced the old one.
    It does crash quite often when the galaxy S7 is too warm and loading a videos over Kodi Mediaserver not while running, though.

    • I have samsung galaxy s7 with gearvr and controller using the latest current version 0.2.2(196).

      When i start the app, from the oculus app menu it takes about 3minutes from clicking the app to seeing the menu.

      I tried deleting the cache, i stoped DLNA and other services in my network. nothing seems to have an impact on the first-loading time.

      What can i do to speed up the time until the menu appears?

      • I just installed: 0.20 over the normal update process as gear/VR.
        Your update crashed my workaround.
        To be able to watch images i renamed a full directory of pics to *.mp4.
        The result was, that the player shows one pic and immidiately shows the next one. With almost no possibility to stop. I pressed 100x on the [x] before i was back in the menu. Pheeew.

          Where do i have to enter this ? Do i have to root android-handy ?
          My Playstore (germany) says on my Samsung S7 :
          "Dein Gerät ist nicht mit dieser Version kompatibel" - "Your device is not kompatible with this version"
          Android-Version 8.0.0
          Kernel-Version 3.18.91

          • It seems to me, that there is no thumbnail-cache for videos displayed over the kodi-krypton media-server.
            At least i found no cache directory. And i am using a filemanager who does display hidden directories.

              Thank you for the detailed list.
              I cannot be sure to not compromise my anonymity by the filenames i am using. I could probably scan my videolists for IP-numbers, servernames etc. but i rather leave the opportunity of being a beta-tester to other users.

              Thank you for skybox. And always remember there are others like me who would pay for skybox.

                How can i share my problems, when every single video is several GByte in size?
                Does it help that i am using Kodi (v17.6. - Krypton) as a Mediaserver on Windows7

                Also relying on e-mail is annoying for me, cause i would use only anon-remailers. A comment section or even a from-mailer would make this communication to support@ significant easier.

                • I like to see what features are added last or see a development of features over time. Like so many other projects are doing.

                    Since i do not like long filenames. And skybox does not once detect 180* SBS Videos. Is there a thing we can add to the metadata of our videos? For example: Is there a 180° SBS option in exif data?

                    • Yum replied to this.
                    • Your viewer already supports pictures. I know this because once i renamed the extension of a directory full of pictures to .jpg.mp4 and skybox showed them all. It could be more convenient and support .jpg from the start.

                        But please not at the cost of an even longer startup.

                          Is this local thumbnail cache viewable from outside the skybox app?
                          I dont want my pornos to show up in the gallery.

                          • How much anonymity can i preserve, when becoming a betatester? My gear VR - oculus account and my skybox account so far are ficticious. But my account can of course easily be traced to a phonenumber or maybe imsi.
                            I do watch a lot of porn with skybox, so i do not need a detailed trace of what i am watching connected to my phonenumber.
                            I am a coder and was betatester for an antivirus company. So i am a bit informed about what there is to do.

                            PS: I like skybox to be able to view *.jpg as well. Thank you for a great app, anyway. ;-)
