It's done it again. App updates said updated to v12.0. When I open DeoVR on Windows the version says 11.9.

Unimstall and install and it still says v11.9.

bncecil Hey! how exactly did you remove it? And how exactly did you set it up again? I just checked - update 12.0 in SteamVR is installed without problems.

bncecil

In the Occulus App Library on Windows clicked the three dots on the DeoVR tile. Clicked on Uninstall. Checked Windows Explorer and Folder \Oculus\Software\infomediji-d-o-o-deovr-video-player\ was gone.

To reinstall from the App Library clicked on the DeoVR tile. After installation completed above folder existed.

Launched Link from the headset (attached by cable). Launched DeoVR. See screenshots:

Repeat same from within the headset. Same result. One of the 11.x releases did the same to me and I had to wait for a later release for it to update.

Could you explain why the DLNA got depreciated? This feature is quite important for some of us.

Yar only reason I had this app was dnla server capabilities.

Yar Hi, The only reason for using DeoVR was the support of DLNA. So I de-installed the app yesterday.

philpw99 we are converting the player into streaming platform and we can't invest into maintaining DLNA. With the same logic we have removed iPhone and Android apps.

Just bought sky box because deo dropped dnla. Sky box was worth the 10 bucks. Far superior to deo at this point.

Can we find old update, i want recover DLNA setting please ?

garbage_developer

I installed this software because of its DLNA capabilities. Why is it no longer available without my permission? Why is this software getting harder and harder to use with every update? Why can't I see the updates on the Oculus? The developers of this software are incompetent and too irresponsible. Really too stupid. Are they developing this software alone?

DeoAesthetics Wrong businessmodel imo! Instead of creating simply the best cross-platform vrplayer available, you‘re converting a really good product into a run of the mill player as everyone still can download from every paysite and sorry but DLNA is just a form of streaming nothing more. So please reddem the promise to build a streaming plattform but create the best. What a shame! I really recommand you to reconsider your decision… you were on such a good way with Deovr.

So limited resources and a strategic shift. That's understandable, a pound of butter will only spread so far. While DLNA support was a good selling point I can still play the majority of my video library off the local drives using the Windows DeoVR via Link or Air-Link.

Maybe if I paid for the app I might be more disconcerted but so far DeoVR is free.

I went and paid for one of the other video players and the DLNA features for the most part work fine with a variety of DLNA servers. If only the interface was as slick a DeoVR's I'd be one happy camper.

While I don't agree with the move, I understand the business logic behind this. All free programs have limited life-span. The famous Facebook almost didn't survive because they had to "figure out how to make a parachute while free falling." DeoVR is tapping into a big market and they want to focus their effort toward that direction, before their money runs out.
I sincerely hope you guys will make it. And I also hope the flat-and-small built-in web browser should get a much needed upgrade. If you want to tap into that market, the current browser or the video wall is not good enough.
Also, you guys should have some co-operation with Stash guys. Their database program is excellent, and if you can support their database with just a simple browser upgrade, DeoVR will get to the top much faster.
I know it because I have my own specially compiled Stash which works great with DeoVR. Imagine if you guys work with them and push a Stash-DeoVR combo, that will be a dream come true for many people. And you actually don't need to do much effort.

is this a joke???

Dear developpers please take an advise from someone with trading and developper experience: Fact is, that for developpers who made a videoplayer for consumers, satisfied consumers should be the ultimate goal! If you really think that it’s ok to ignore this fact and listen to a whatever commercial idea that shows you another lead your you‘re simply wrong with that.

I'm switching to skybox. I found your application more convenient, but it makes no sense to use it without the functionality I need. I will periodically look into the application in the hope of the best. I hope you change your mind before I get tired of this.

yarshal How stable is Skybox for you? I find that it freezes on me every once in while where I have to restart the Quest 2 to use Skybox again. I don't think there's anyway to force stop/close it.

yarshal

keygbay Never had any stability issues. More annoying are the interface and control features, as well as responsiveness.
