10/5 Stars. Well Done to the team for creating the near perfect Video Player, it has my most sought after feature of calibration to any position instead of horizon only, plus perfect support for DLNA, SMB shares on the local network as well. Please share a donate link, to show my appreciation. One issue is that it does not support usb keyboard/trackpad combo that I have, on Amazon it is called the COOLCOLD mini wireless keyboard with trackpad. If you could add support for these.

One thing that's bothering me while playing VR videos, the playback/control/menu bar should stay at the center when you open or close it, not at the same place where the "menu" button is located, or at least make it remembers and stays at its last location. It's a little bit frustrating when you open then close it, it keeps moving to the left, then you have to recenter it to the middle every time you open it. I hope you can fix this issues devs. 🙏

The best vr player in the store! I only wish it supported more video formats like webm, mkv, avi, wmv, etc. and it would be perfect 👍

Fantastic VR viewer. The best I found. However, I think the fish-eye mode stopped working in the latest version, I'm sure it used to work. I can hear the audio playing, but the display is blank. Non fish-eye videos work great.

I don't think is using hardware decoding, it struggles to play 8K H.265 and 4K AV1 on an S24 Plus. Also, I don't get why you need to be centering the video almost every 40 seconds. Why the video doesn't remains where I centered it. And it definitely needs a vertical centering. Most of the time you need to look down because you can't center the video vertically. Or else you are required to move always the height to the lowest possible area.

It is not possible to watch VR videos in this app because the two images lose alignment when you close the progress bar. This means you can only watch the video in flat mono like an ordinary non-3d video.

Got an error when I tried to run .mp4 vr video files. It says video files is damaged or something. I tried the files on my old devices it runs fine. Not sure if this has anything to do with devices running Android 15 or not.

Dude! Fix the centering problem! Geez! Any vr video I watch is constantly running away from center and yawing one way or the other. So every couple minute I gotta find the damned menu and re-center the screen! Spend more time in the freakin menus than enjoying the experience. Absolutely ridiculous that you haven't fixed this stupid gyroscopic bug in the years this app has been in the store
