How to serve a single video/scene?

Merowan

Hi,

I'm trying to serve a single scene/video from an existing Web UI and everything what I try ends up in the DeoVR app crashing. Can someone please try to explain me, how to implement such a setup? The setting is:

I have an existing web application served from my Windows PC
I'm offering a new button in the UI, which should provide a JSON to the DeoVR player to be streamed
I can open the UI in the DeoVR player in my Quest 3 and click on the provided button
Afterwads the DeoVR app crashes

I tried to implement the buttton as a Javasacript function redirecting to the JSON file, I tried to just make the button a href pointing to the stream, I tried to use in Javascript window.DeoAPI which should exist in the DeoVR player according to Gemini (guess it's just halucination), ... everything just crashes the app.

Is there somewhere a step-by-step tutorial existing for dummies like me, describing how to add functionality to an existing webapp, in order to offer a deep-link for the DeoVR player, please? 🙏

No need to be this complicate. Just use regular http protocol to serve the file, like
<a href="http://192.168.1.100/myvideo.mp4">play my video</a>
DeoVR will just open the file and play it.

Thanks for the answer. Then I would not be able to provide any further information about the format of the video and whether it is SBS and so on. According to the documentation this should function:

A. Single video deeplink
A file .json with the description of one video is uploaded on the server. Then a button is added to the site. Once deeplink button is clicked, DeoVR launches and starts the video from this file. The video is played immediately.

But when I try that, the JSON is rendered in the DeoVR player, instead of showing the video defined in the JSON.

Update: Finally I found the missing information a little bit deeper down in the documentation. Such deep-links need to be prefixed with "deovr://". So instead of "http://foo.bar/1.json" I need to link to "deovr://http://foo.bar/1.json". Now it works like a charm. :-)
