I think that it’s not too feasable for the developer to sell it on the oculus market. Because Zuck takes too big portion of these sales, i mean commission is too high for the devolepor and it means its not to much profitable as on itch.io. So, my claim from the developer again, mate i know that itch.io have a little commission from your sales please cut the prices and make it 20. 30 dollars is really expensive.

I have been waiting for this ever since I got my headset. I am happy to purchase the full version right away, but I am too stupid to even understand how to share a folder on my computer with the app. Is anyone able to help this idiot out? I’ve been at this for a couple of days now, and I’m afraid I’m not any closer to understanding SMB or whatever it is I need to do.

Took from their discord. Try this, its very simple.

Right now, the player has a very niche market, so it has to be priced higher to ensure there are enough funds to continue development. I can only sell the app once to a user, so there is no recurring revenue stream. Dropping the price by 1/3 would be too risky right now. If it’s too high, you can wait for a sale in the future, or when it gets on to the official Oculus store, there might be regional pricing which might make it more affordable in your region. I plan on adding many more features beyond just VR video playback, so if the app doesn’t offer enough value for you right now, it might in the future.

Thanks @beyto! This was really helpful, and relatively easy to understand. It seems like I’ve actually got it working now. The only thing I’m unclear about is if my shared folder is visible to other users on the network and how accessible it is. No one but the the user I created in step 1 is able to access it right? I’m a little confused because in step 3 they say they stream via ethernet because of privacy.
I think as long as you don’t enable SMB1 (the last step in the guide that beyto linked), the shared folder will only be visible once you enter the correct credentials. HereSphere only uses SMB2/3 anyway, due to security issues with SMB1.

Just bought this app and managed to get it working with SMB also. It’s also connected to the Handy.
However it doesn’t seem to look for the funscripts in the same SMB folder as the video is playing from.
In the settings, under Synchronized Peripherals, I can see the path to the local Interactive folder, so I guess it’s looking for the funscripts there instead of the shared SMB folder where I’m playing the video from (and where the funscripts also are located).
How do I make it look for the funscripts in the SMB folder? In the quote I get the feeling it should be doing so by default.
It should be looking in the SMB folder by default if you’re streaming from an SMB share. The path in the user settings is the fallback directory path for when it can’t find the script. Sometimes the script upload fails the first time, so try opening the video again. Still working out some connection issues.

I’ve got this working with SMB. All you need to do is ensure that the funscript has the EXACT same name as the video, but with the funscript extension. For example:
my_favourite_video.mp4
my_favourite_video.funscript
What I like to do is copy the script over to my server, then copy the filename of the video and replace the funscript name with it.
Thanks, I think it might just have been a fail then, because after restarting the app and connection it seems to work. Nice!
So glad to have found this app, so I don’t need to be locked to SLR for using my videos and scripts from different sites.
EDIT: Hmm… only seems to be the first one I tried that works right now. Well, at least I know it’s possible, and there just migth be some issues to solve.
EDIT 2: Now, a lot of them work. I didn’t change anything. Maybe it has trouble getting the funscripts through SMB sometimes/randomly. Not sure, just wanted to give feedback.
@Husky @deskey51 You can use SLR interactive script streaming in MultiFunPlayer only with SLR/DeoVR. HereSphere would need to add their interactive api.
Yeah, based on my log messages when testing, the reading of the funscript file through SMB seems to be working fine, but I think there’s an issue with uploading the script to Handy’s servers. Sometimes the request doesn’t go through. Probably need to detect a timeout and repeat the upload.
Nice, that you are looking into it, and it makes sense. Thanks for working with the app!
I hope this gets back ported to the Go 
Hey I will be purchasing to help support! just checking though is the version on steam the latest .4 version?
also If I buy the one from ich.io will I have to buy it again when it comes out officially on the oculus store?
The version on Steam is for PC. It doesn’t have native handy support yet, but it should be added this week. The itch.io version is for the Quest 2, and has native support handy support. If you purchase the app through itch.io, I will try my best to get you an oculus store key once it’s available. However, it depends on whether Meta allows me to generate enough keys.

Does or will Heresphere support launch, gearvr funscript playback?
Native support for the FL Launch will be added after the buttplug dev finishes packaging the library for android. He expects it should be ready later this week, so it’ll probably take one or two weeks for me to integrate buttplug into HereSphere. I’m not planning on supporting GearVR or OculusGo at the moment. It requires rolling back to an older unreal engine build, and maintaining the project would become difficult. It’s a shame, because if I had enough time, it would be possible to port it to those older platforms.

@HereSphere the player support webxr? Because i tried on Slr and naughty america (streaming) and its impossible to open video in Vr mode only 2d work
To stream the video in VR mode, you can click on the download link in the HereSphere web browser. SLR also supports the DeoVR API, so if you press the webstream button (looks like a play button with radio waves) in the upper left corner of the web browser, you can view and stream website’s video library in a convenient interface. I plan on adding actual WebXR support in the future.
