Hi,
I need your assistance customizing this a bit to read the source playlist from a database. Would you be able to assist with this and if so how much? How do I contact you directly?

Thanks

Good afternoon!

English is not my native language. Tell us more about the list from the database? I ask you to write more about your request so that I can understand the task.

Attention.
If you have launched an android version that is not designed for VR.
Don’t forget to change the interaction mode (in actor Android_Pawn).
VR interaction by default = Central screen. You need change to Mouse.

**NEWS. 24.02.2020. Version 4.23 and 4.24. Input Key. **

Motion Controller Key Deprecation

Motion Controller keys have been deprecated in 4.24 in favor of keys specific to a set of common XR controllers which are defined in the OpenXR specification. This change makes it easier to customize the input bindings for each controller model and gets rid of the ambiguity around the mapping of Motion Controller keys to physical controller buttons.

By using the new keys, projects will improve support for SteamVR Input and OpenXR which are built around action systems. These new XR input systems are designed around providing cross-device compatibility by emulating the specific controller that the project is targeting.

During the deprecation existing inputs using Motion Controller keys are still supported, however it’s no longer possible to add new inputs using Motion Controller keys. Any new input has to use the new XR keys, however the upgrade of old inputs can be done piecemeal since it’s possible to use both the old and new keys interchangeably.

You can add management yourself.
Project Setting-Input and replace outdated keys. Currently, they can’t be added directly via blueprints.

Hello – Will this play stereo 180 video? Can I see a demo please? Thank you

Hi, VFe!
Yes, stereo 180, and 360 supported.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde…OpFrKPMmPUjQjD
All demo for PC, For VR and Android.
If the demo doesn’t work, let me know. I’ll compile the demo again.

If you plan to use the player for versions 4.23 and 4.24. At this point in time, the management will have to be changed manually. I think this week I will solve this issue. If you have any questions, I am always available and always ready to help.

Great, thanks!

I had a couple more quick questions:

How is the scene set-up in the project files you send? Is it possible to set up the player to auto-play the designated video?

Thank you

Hi, VFe!
The functionality was designed to work with the file browser and launch the selected video.
But if you need a video to start automatically at a certain point in time, for example, you can write simple code. Using Trigger in scene.

Tutorial 3. VideoPlayer 360. Open video file from trigger.

I also have a ready-made code that allows you to run the assigned video for example. Look, is that what you mean?

Example. VideoPlayer 360. Begin Video Start.

But this code has not yet been added to the plugin, but I can provide it if the player is purchased.

Note:
How to overcome full volume in all videos:

1. Need to attach sound to a mesh
2. To include the spatial orientation and the weakening

• this will enable audio only for the screen where the player is located.

Hi!
Packed exe demo
Demo_Player360 - Google Drive

​​To avoid distortion of the projection, your player must be in the center of the sphere. To avoid fish eyes. I need to think about the curvature of the projection, but so far I have not planned to add this functionality.
You can check the performance of the player in a Packed demo.
The video player uses standard media player tools, and optimizes video playback using the gpuhttps://youtu.be/OhxGXt6GpO0

Mighty apologies as I never saw this reply of yours until today. We are now getting back to this subject so might come in handy, though apparently I did find a Blueprint that sort of took care of what we needed. Will look into it in coming weeks. Many thanks and stay safe!
