How to get local 360 stereoscopic videos to play?

ericgraphics

Hi all, I'm rendering 360 stereoscopic top-bottom videos out of Blender that I want to play locally. On Windows 10 with an Oculus Rift. While I can get 360 monoscopic videos to play in DeoVR no problem, I haven't yet had any luck with the 360 stereoscopic top-down videos. Any recommendations on how to get it to work? Recommended export specs/settings?

My system:
Intel Core i7-6800K CPU @ 3.40GHz.
Nvidia GTX 1070
64GB of RAM

Thanks in advance!

Strange, are you saying the video cannot be played at all ? Or it's played slowly with stutter?
I used to play 360 top-bottom videos downloaded from youtube, and they worked just fine.
Maybe your video file name has wrong phrases like "180" or "SBS" in it?

Make sure that the file name locally has a _TB in it. Like MyVideo_TB_360.mp4 Note the underlines. That should make it work. Other VR players honor a more-or-less similar scheme.

I wish the manufacturers could just embed this information as Headers within the files themselves.

Outside of using this file name "suffix," you can use server-side options, which may be beyond your desire and scope. See
