has this moved up on the todo list yet lol : )
vr videos in the background and other videos on a screen that sink to the scripts playing
Do you now support hand tracking?
The script upload to the handy but the handy doesnât move. what should I do? and sometime Heresphere connect to my Handy but the script upload failed.
Updated the player and now all videos have lag/stuttering. Only change made was updating the app. Any one else?
Which version and headset are you using? Can you try going to the advanced video settings and adjust the resolution? If that doesnât help, try rolling back the update for now.
Downloaded the demo for PC on steam and canât get subtitles to work on 3d videos but they seem to be working fine on 2d videos
I do see the purple toggle on the CC button in both cases though
Anyone else faced the same issue?
attaching a sample subtitle that i cant get working
SIVR-178-A.srt (10.8 KB)
Latest version 0.10.4 on quest2, resolution doesnât change stuttering nor does refresh rate. Will roll back version and see if that fixes anything and report back
@HereSphere, Where is the best place to make a feature request?
Thanks a ton for Heresphere. Iâve recently encountered a bug in the peripherals toggle. The keyboard is getting trimmed at the bottom when I am trying to change the opacity of the heatmap. Please look into it and fix it if possible.

HereSphere update v0.11.0 is now available on Meta App Lab RC channel and itch.io. This update adds support for DLNA streaming, Autoblow integration, and some bug fixes. To switch to the RC channel, visit the HereSphere App Lab page on your web browser, scroll down to version, and click on the version number to switch to the RC channel. Try the free demo.
DLNA:
- Added support for DLNA streaming
- Click on âDLNAâ in the left side panel. The player will scan your network for DLNA servers. Click on a DLNA server to browse its contents. Currently, only videos are supported.
- For scripts, youâll need to place the script file in the âInteractiveâ folder on your Quest local storage, and make sure it matches the title of the video.
- HSP files will be saved/loaded from the âHereSphereâ folder on your Quest local storage and need to match the title of the video.
- Subtitle files (.srt, .ssa, and .ass) need to be stored in the âHereSphereâ folder on your Quest local storage and match the title of the video.
Autoblow Integration:
- Added support for Autoblow devices
- Input the Autoblow connection key into the synchronized peripherals menu (accessed by clicking on the icon that looks like a play button with radio waves above the seekbar)
- Scripts, manual oscillation, and manual script patterns are supported. The range feature only works for controlling oscillation range, since the Autoblow currently doesnât support altering the script range on the fly.
Timestamp Server:
- Added fields âresourceâ and âidentifierâ to the timestamp server message. âresourceâ contains the actual url/path of the currently playing video file. âidentifierâ contains the scene url when using the HereSphere web API.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed issue with video thumbnails continuing to play in the background when menu is hidden.
- Fixed issue with buffering not triggering playback suspended/resumed events for synchronized peripherals and the event server

Has Bluetooth toy connection been added to the PC version or still unique to the Standalone VR version?
Native bluetooth is only available on the Quest standalone version. You can use the HereSphere timestamp server with ScriptPlayer/Intiface if you need bluetooth on PC, though.
Gotcha. Sadly I think ConnectandControl pushed a new build to add auto resync for when you seek around but now local CMScriptâs donât work anymore on the standalone app.
It can never be easy with POVR 
Canât seem to get CMScripts to work within the player. (Using it on Steam)
Both video and script has the same name, my device is connected to the player.
Do you need to do anything else?
Just bought it through Meta app labâŚbut it is an older version without DLNA. Do you know if it updates automatically to the new version?
Latest update is currently being tested on the RC channel on App Lab. To switch to the RC channel, go to the HereSphere App Lab webpage, make sure youâre logged in to your Meta account, scroll down to version, click on the version number, and then select the RC channel.
Works like a charmâŚTHX
Hi guys,
I have a new Quest 3 and The Handy and wanted to connect the HereSphere VR Video Player (Demo) v0.11 to The Handy.
Unfortunately it doesnât work. I always get the error message âInvalid Connection Keyâ. The key is correct (I double checked it) and The Handy is in wifi mode. I can connect via handyfeeling website without any problem but Heresphere player throws this error instantly after entering the key and pressing the toggle button. Any ideas for this?
A second question: is there a way to store username and password for the samba network folders? I have to re-enter it everytime I open the app again.
For saving SMB credentials, click on the star icon in the upper left corner of the SMB menu and add a bookmark after entering your SMB credentials and connecting. Click on the bookmark to load the SMB directory with your credentials.
Not sure why the Handy isnât connecting for you. Maybe try power cycling your handy, headset, router, etc. Also, the connection key is case sensitive.
I had the same issue yesterday. I did a few things, which seemed to work in the end. Not sure what was the exact solve though.
- reset handy API key
- Ensured I could connect to handy from their site via API
- deleted API key in Heresphere
- force closed Heresphere and restarted it
- toggled sync toy on and off in Heresphere
- re-input my handy API key
- enabled sync toy in Heresphere
