SMB support?

rando

Tony Why make everything so complicated

cough ...for the developers 😒

Your proposed solution just makes things more complicated for users instead. How about just adding basic features that users expect, like SMB support and search, they really aren't that complicated.

I get what you mean, but it's literally enabling one checkmark after installing Everything

+1 please add this feature, i need it too

Tested the "Everything" solution. It works VERY well. Save yourself some time and headache waiting for SMB and spend 5 min setting it up.

I personally hope that when they add this feature, they will add the ability to rename and delete files. That would be great for sorting through files.

Hello!
Yes, smb support is on our to-do list. But, unfortunately, there are more important issue and tasks. The developers are preparing a big update. Perhaps after it the roadmap will be edited and some options added. But I can't guarantee.
Follow our updates!

Anton

I know it is an old topic... (:
But are the any plans to make the 'Everything solution' work again?
Or even an information why it doesn't work anymore?
Would be awesome!

Anton I second this, just tried to use the "Everything solution" and thought it would be a slam dunk, but no, it just does nothing but lock up for a while when I click on a link, should be a no brainer that this should work, it would appear to me that it must have been "turned off"/ blocked for some reason? If not why is it not working!?

I third this! 'Everything' worked so well to look for local videos.

Anton

I used it for a while and it was awesome ...!
For some reason it doesn't work anymore since the last update.
Think it's just a bug ... and it would be awesome if some dev would make a statement to this issue

Hello
It's been months, still no SMB support?
If not how could I view videos that are on my PC on my Quest 2?
I can with Skybox but many videos are not compatible with it and Deo has a superior rendering

vegetaleb Deo does not have a superior rendering compared to Skybox, Pigasus or Heresphere.

Hey hey!
We are focused on streaming service, you can still view your videos via DLNA!

SMB support is my preference as it uses less resources than a streaming service via DLNA. I don't need all the fancy options you get with say Plex or Kodi. I just want to play my video clips I have on disk. DeoVR has great potential but the lack of various video and audio codec and file format limits its uses for my purposes.

DLNA support works nicely from my testing, just more than I need.

Have anyone tried the simple HTTP Server in Windows?

I would like SMB in DEOVR, dlna has lots of hangs and crashes, SMB is smoother and faster, to the dev of this DEOVR please place it in your next update.

philpw99

I second the suggestion of SMB support. It's easy to setup a computer in my home for DLNA, but it's quite inconvenient to do it while traveling. Most travel routers supports SMB sharing, but not DLNA. Plus DLNA is not a safe protocol in the public places.

Hi, sorry to inform you that SMB/DLNA/local playback support probably won't becoming back any time soon for a few reasons. First one is that the developers are fully focused on the streaming elements of the platform for the time being, and the second one is that local playback configurations are usually very personalized/customized, making them difficult to troubleshoot on an individual basis. There's also the factor that some users misuse it for pirating purposes, so this will not be our focus moving forward. It's still available, though, just not officially supported

PavleDeoVR SMB/DLNA/local playback support probably won't becoming back any time soon

It's fine. I knew it already. It's good that DeoVR can keep the DLNA feature today, and fixed its bugs in the last update. I know a way to do DLNA with my cellphone and travel router. It's just a little complicated, not for everyone. So what I said just meant, "If you can implement SMB, that'll be great ! If not, I can adapt."

PavleDeoVR local playback configurations are usually very personalized/customized, making them difficult to troubleshoot on an individual basis.

Same thing with online streaming, or perhaps even harder due to the network/server speed fluctuation.

PavleDeoVR There's also the factor that some users misuse it for pirating purposes

Well, I download VR videos from the paid websites. They allow me to save the videos of chosen quality locally, and they recommend using DeoVR to watch them locally. So if you don't support local playback, those website will be in a difficult situation: they probably need to increase their servers capacity 10 times to do pure online playback.

Plus, when I am traveling, most places don't have the bandwidth to stream online VR videos. If I cannot watch the videos I downloaded legally during traveling, then what's the point of paying the websites to get the videos?

Also, one of the benefits of "Premium" account of DeoVR.com is to allow us to download those VR videos locally. Now if DeoVR doesn't want to fix the problems of local playback, then that "Premium" feature is not so good.

Understood, appreciate the feedback and I'll make sure to share it with the team for future consideration. Constructive criticism is always welcome 👍️
