Update v0.7 released


HereSphere update v0.7 for the Quest 2 is now available with playback speed matching for the Handy, better adherance to file naming conventions, a new HereSphere web streaming API with faster loading times, and some bug fixes.

Synchronized Peripherals:

  • The playback speed of the Handy is now matched to the playback speed of the video. It may take several seconds for the script to be reuploaded when the playback speed is changed.

File naming conventions:

  • More file naming conventions have been added. These take priority over the HereSphere autodetection of the video projection format.
  • Custom fisheye lens = "_MKX200", "_MKX220", "_RF52", or "_VRCA220"
  • Standard fisheye = "_F180" or "_180F"
  • Equirectangular 180 = "_180"
  • Equirectangular 360 = "_360" (Equirectangular 360 has limited projection adjustments. If you want more projection adjustments like autofocus, use the equirectangular 180 projection instead, which will crop out the back half of the 360 video)
  • Equiangular cubemap = "_EAC360" or "_360EAC"
  • Specify stereoscopic mode with "_LR", "_RL", "_TB", "_BT", "_3DH", or "_3DV". This doesn't apply if the fisheye naming convention is used, because that will default to sbs. If a stereoscopic mode is detected but none of the fisheye, equirectangular, or cubemap naming conventions are present, the player will default to perspective (flatscreen) projection with the detected stereoscopic mode.
  • If no filename conventions are detected at all, then the player will use its own autodetection to determine the correct projection format to use.
  • Unmatched XBVR videos will now use file naming conventions or HereSphere's autodetection to determine the correct projection format. If you already have unmatched videos loaded in HereSphere, you will need to remove them from the HereSphere media library to get them to be read in properly. You can use the tag search "-" to find videos with no tags (these are probably your unmatched videos), and then remove them from the media library.

Web Streaming API:

  • The loading speed of websites that use the DeoVR API has been significantly improved.
  • An experimental HereSphere API has been implemented. Websites can use this API to stream their video library in a convenient user interface, with support for tags, funscripts, and more. Message me if you would like more information on how to use this API with your website.

Other changes:

  • Fixed issue with timestamp server playback speed getting stuck at 0
  • Fixed issue with SMB paths containing special characters, like the "+" character
  • Fixed issue with the autoseek tags favorite searches menu not being shown
  • Videos that are currently being downloaded will not be shown in the file explorer by filtering out file sizes that are 0 bytes.
