Personal encoding restarts.

gwadaeln

Hello,

I notice that my personal encodings of video in x265 pose a problem with deoVR (but not with other players).

The videos start without any problem, on the other hand, if I want to go to a specific point in the video, it restarts.

Would it be possible to correct the problem?

FYI, my encodings are with megui (2913) and no special codec configuration is applied.

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Two options:
1) Remux using ffmpeg instead of MP4Box (which MeGUI uses internally)
2) Encode with a closed GOP: --no-open-gop

Great, works with ffmpeg, thanks.

But weird all the same that all my other readers work with the megui mux but not deoVR.

Anyway, it works now, thank you.

DeoVR uses Microsoft Media Foundation. Basically, the coding has to be compatible with that.
Look for an app on win 8/10/store called Films & TV, or Movies & TV. Depends on your local language settings.

If it doesn't play there, it won't play on DeoVR.

Here are some codecs that don't come by default (any more) with MMF

You can also get them on the MS store; HEVC/x265 costs $1/€1 though.

I think the video decoding backend used by DeoVR is just a bit more limited than others and doesn't handle seeking in this particular case.

Tony DeoVR uses Microsoft Media Foundation

It happens on the Quest 2 version
