App 13.9 released

Sandi_DeoVR

Hey everyone!
13.9 Update is available:

Release notes:

Bug fixes:

Fixed high bitrate videos crashing
Fixed videos crashing with AMD drivers
Fixed various UI issues

Improvements:

Passthrough:
- Extended our fisheye layout, so Creators can take advantage and prepare videos with alpha channel - taking passthrough experience to next level (Information for Creators: https://deovr.com/app/doc#Alpha)
UI:
- App remembers active tab in player panels
- 'Drag video' function was renamed to 'Dome rotation' and got extended, it can consider controller banking rotation and rotate the dome accordingly (in Global settings / Player or in Player settings there's a new option for “Dome rotation with roll”)

Enjoy!

Just downloaded the latest version, 13.9, of the viewer to use with my PC and Link. The latest StasyQVr videos won’t run. I get an error message saying I’m need to update codecs and lav filters. Which I did. I rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled the program with no change.Is there a fix for this coming or where I can get the previous version which worked fine. DeoVR developers please help.

Sandi_DeoVR Creators can take advantage and prepare videos with alpha channel

Wow ! This one is pretty big ! Congrats on this achievement !!
Most amazingly, you guys can pack the alpha channel with regular RGB videos ! That's pretty cool !
However, if in the future DeoVR can read video files with alpha channel natively, that will be perfect!

Je ne sais pas si c'est la cause mais le publications en 16_9 qui fonctionnaient, fonctionne en 1;1. J'apprécie.

Jacques3D Hey, could you elaborate more clearly, from translate I dont understand if there is an issue with 16:9 ratio playing as 1:1, or is it something else?

I am also now getting similar issues where video files that played fine before are saying they can't play due to lack of codec.

DrNuke75 DrNuke75 CrystalRime boboweb Hey, thanks for reporting this, we are looking into making it work, in the meantime, what Corbolan offered seems like solves the problem.

Corbolan

Okay I was able to fix my issue by installing the HEVC video extension codec, now my files are working again.

DrNuke75

Corbolan

Can you send me the link to the HEVC codec you used

Corbolan

Having same problem on Quest 2. Vids that played before are now not playing properly. No error message. Just playing completely blurred.

CrystalRime

H.265/HEVC videos stopped playing for me too. I get a popup that I don't have appropriate codecs, but I do! They used to work before the update. What's going on? 🙁

boboweb

Not playing vids - this is just something very normal for DeoVR ... after update ... Nothing old isn`t forgotten and nothing new isnt learned ... lol 🙂 Thats why is still keep v8.55 - the last one that works proper ....

Hi Sandi:

I downloaded he latest Codec from Microsoft (now they charge .99 for some reason) and rebooted.Does not fix the problem. Also tried downloading the LAV filter package. Did not help. Something seems to be wrong with the latest update. Sounds like you working on a fix which we appreciate. Anyway to go back to an earlier version until then?

Thanks for your help

my default image settings (like sharpness etc) are not default anymore after the update. When i play any new video, all settings are reset to zero and i must manually select "Reset to default" for every video which is annoying.
