Can't play / crash with any VR videos in DeoVR browser

Hi there,
I've been using DeoVR for quite a long time for local video playback with success for any format. But since I tried to play online VR Videos (from deovr default page for example), the player starts, loading icon appears, then nothing happens. I can see the player UI and timetrack stays at zero. It stays stuck on the loading icon until i try to come back to website page and all DeoVR freeze and needs to be shutdown.
I have a fully operational VR PC rig with Oculus CV1 / Windows 10. Tried both Oculus and steam version of DeoVR for same results.
Would anybody have an idea ?
Thanks so much.

Hello! Can you go to DeoVR website in oculus browser and play the video there? Will it work? Same in your "VR PC rig" - open DeoVR website in browser and play the video there.
Thank you!

DeoVR browser always tries to open the last webpage when you hit the "Home" button, therefore, if the last webpage it visited is an invalid page. The browser will stuck in loading, eventually freeze.
To fix it, you just need to ask DeoVR to browse to a valid URL before it freeze. Don't just wait for it to finish loading.
