DeoVR dropping DLNA - alternatives?

If you have difficulty to find your machine IP address, open http://127.0.0.1:9999 on the machine that you’ve installed XBVR. Then go to options and click on DeoVR. There it shows you what IP address you need to enter in Oculus.

I tried the ip address for the machine with xbvr installed and I still only get a blank screen on the Quest. When I click on DeoVR, as you instructed above, it gives me nine different ip addresses. One of them is http://127.0.0.1:9999/ and none of them is the ip address of the machine that has xbvr installed on it. I’ve tried all of those addresses too and I still only get a blank screen.

Are you sure in DeoVR the address starts with http and not https? By default it’s https you need to click on it to and toggle to http. If you are using http, we need to narrow down the problem. In another machine (like your cellphone) open a web browser. Assuming your nas has IP address 192.168.0.5, try http://192.168.0.5:9999/. If you cannot see it, it maybe a firewall issue.

It’s very likely you didn’t change https in your headset’s DeoVR. So I’m guessing you are trying to connect to https://192.168.0.5:9999/ which obviously fails.

I’ve been using “http” and allowed xbvr through my firewall but I think I used the wrong ip address. I’ve now tried the IPv4 address in my machines wifi properties. In DeoVR I’ve got something that looks similar to the demo provided here https://imgur.com/a/PAyooc5 except for me it says “Recent” “Favorite” “Watchlist” and “Unmatched.” All of my videos are under “Unmatched” and and don’t have thumbnails which I guess is normal since they’re not available on any of the scrapers. The videos play, but my Handy is not moving. There’s also no interactive icon or message that a script is being sent to the Handy like on the videos I’ve downloaded directly onto the quest which work fine.

@darth_horny I should also add that the folders shared with xbvr are the same ones I use with ScriptPlayer so all of the scripts and videos have identical names.

I’m happy there are some progress. I have the same menu items as yours. I don’t remember I did something special for the scripts. Make sure that DeoVR is connected to the Handly. You should go to sexlikereal.com in DeoVR so you can see handy options in the settings. Then play a video using DLNA and finally using XBVR. As long as the name of videos and scripts matches there shouldn’t be any problem. Also double check that you copied all the scripts into Interactive folder in your headset.

Thanks I didn’t realize that I had to have scripts downloaded onto the headset. Is there any way around that? I would really like to not have any porn on my headset.

This hasn’t been necessary with xbvr for a while. It dynamically serves the funscript so you don’t need to have anything on the headset itself

I’d head over to the xbvr discord server if I were you, I’m sure someone there could troubleshoot your problem and get it running smoothly for you

Anyone know if sideloading an older copy of DeoVR is an option or will it autoupdate?

I think our only choice is to wait for Heresphere to release their Q2 port app, which is apparently coming this weekend for beta testing.

DeoVR say they’ll support DLNA as long as it’s “functional” but then immediately broke it in their most recent update, so I think they’re done. Time to find a new player.

They didn’t break it, they removed the functionality. :frowning:

Thanks for the note on Heresphere - will keep my eye on them. Just bought Pigasus, and while a nice UI, sadly they don’t do web, so still looking for that all-on-one solution.

I was finally able to fix the issue by completely uninstalling DeoVR and reinstalling it. Now DLNA works as it did. But it’s a stark reminder to migrate to a better player ASAP. I’ll be looking out for Heresphere.

In my UI it went missing too, so I tried a few things to get it going without the DeoVR DLNA feature.

I installed SideLoad on my Quest2 and hoped I could find an older Version of DeoVR, but nope. I tried to get the scripts running with XBVR but finally I ended up also reinstalling DeoVR from the Oculus Store.

Then I saw that you can just turn DLNA back on in the options.

Now I’m confused, because it went missing in the UI, and it looks like it did not only for me, so I assumed I got the Update. Did you guys check the Options in the DeoVR App?

Well, i got my Quest2 last week and DeoVR or SLR were never a good option for the scripted videos, because i need a VPN to use SLR through the Quest2.

Anyway, i’ve been using the original HandyFeeling website for the local VR videos from the Quest2 web browser and it works just perfect for me.

My DeoVR updated itself automatically even though I avoided the update. You can turn DLNA back on in the Settings → Player → Enable DLNA.

Is there an open source VR player that supports funscripts?

I had to reinstall the entire app before DLNA would work, even after enabling it. Seems to be working fine now but it’s obvious this critical feature (for me) is an afterthought for the devs as they try to turn DeoVR into a lead magnet for SLR. I’m hoping the port version of Heresphere is as good as I want it to be.

DLNA no longer has a toggle button in settings. Version 12.0 was just released five hours ago.
Release notes:

  • UI/UX improvements
  • DLNA deprecated

Luckily I noticed this and had time to download the 11.9 APK on SideQuest. If you’re quick you probably can too!

That SideQuest-Hint has been one of the most valuable hints I’ve read! Works like charme!

thanks a lot!
