Update v0.6 released


Smooth video playback:

  • Video playback has been significantly improved to make videos much smoother with almost no microstuttering when the correct settings are applied for the video.
  • For perfectly smooth video playback, you can select the "Match" refresh rate option in the advanced video settings. This will allow the player to automatically select a refresh rate that is a multiple of the video frame rate.
  • If you are sensitive to backlight flicker at 60Hz, then use a 120Hz refresh rate instead of the "Match" option. You will need to tweak the "Autofocus Accuracy" in the user setttings to smooth out the frame pacing at 120Hz, depending on the "Resolution" setting in the advanced video settings. For example, at 120Hz refresh rate, set the "Resolution" to 1.5 and the "Autofocus Accuracy" to 10 or 11, or set the "Resolution" to 1 and the "Autofocus Accuracy" to 15 or 16, or set the "Resolution" to 2 and the "Autofocus Accuracy" to 5 or 6. With these settings, even though the app frame rate won't be 120FPS, the frame pacing will be smooth for 60FPS videos.
  • Autofocus performance has been improved, so you can use a higher autofocus accuracy while maintaining a high frame rate.


Quality of life improvements and bug fixes:

  • The Quest 2 battery percentage is now displayed in the upper right corner of the seek bar menu.
  • The synchronized peripherals connection status icon can now be clicked to show the synchronized peripherals settings in a popup menu. The connection status color scheme has been slightly changed. Use the grip button when hovered above the connection status icon to view the tooltip describing the new color scheme.
  • Directories are now sorted by modification time instead of creation time when the date sorting method is selected. Files are still sorted by creation time.
  • Added a user setting called "Alphabetical Folders" that will always sort folders alphabetically, even when a different sort method is selected.
  • Autodetect IPD now works correctly, and updates the IPD setting based on the headset sensors.
  • Fixed issue with AB loop markers not being visible and not looping properly.
  • Fixed issue with web browser DRM used by services like Spotify.
  • Fixed XBVR authentication issue
  • Fixed "Toggle Mute" key binding.
