No "A" Mode in Passthrough with Video on File on Quest 2

bncecil

I downloaded a couple of passthrough AR videos. When I stream them from the website or from my PC (DLNA) there is an "A" button on the passthrough control panel. Yet if I download the video on my Quest 2 and 0lay it with DEOVR the "A" button is not there. Why?

An aside: Using a blue screen background is not the best choice when the model has blue eyes or is wearing blue.

Do you use the latest DeoVR v13.12.3 ? If it is so - do your downloaded files have file names containing _alpha ?
for example "SLR_SLR_Originals_4000p_FISHEYE190_alpha.mp4"

Hey Hello @bncecil can you tell me what problem you are having? I downloaded some videos to my pc and sidequest them to my Quest and I was able to watch them offline and with passthrough, I just had to adjust a bit the settings of the color, etc,

so, can you please share with me what problem you are facing so we can try to help?

thanks and have a great weekend.

There have been changes since I originally posted however the issue remains.
The issue is when I play a on my Quest 2 from my PC via Kodi on the Passthrough panel there are two buttons on the top. These are now identified as "Chromakey" and "Alpha Pack+".
When I copy the file to my Quest 2 and play it the Passthrough panel only has one button - "Chromakey". So playing the same file on the headset I have to manually adjust the passthrough background color rather than having it automatically set.
See attached image. On the left is the file played from my PC. On the right, the same file copied to my headset. Note the absence of the "Alpha Pack+" button (yellow arrow) when the file is played from the headset.
