Script-Player Handy Over Bluetooth Firmware 3. Much better expirience

That patch made it into the beta builds of ScriptPlayer, if you just download those you’ll be fine.

Ah I see. Thanks for the info.

I downloaded the latest release today and even made sure to update intiface, but it’s still skipping perfectly reasonable strokes and unable to handle fast patterns that are just fine over wifi. The main reason why I need to use bluetooth instead of wifi is because the gap filler function is a necessary feature for me, and unfortunately the gap filler doesn’t activate at the end of a script unless it’s connected via bluetooth.

I really don’t understand why the Handy doesn’t just have an option to connect with a usb cable. It’s not like I’m walking around the house doing chores while it whacks me off.

This is just speculation from my side…
It requires a different skill set since you have to create a Windows driver (or equivalent for any other supported operating system) and USB isn’t the most smooth standard to work with. Writing drivers is more complicated and might even require driver signing from Microsoft due to security reasons. Drivers are loaded into the core of the operating system and runs with high privileges. Badly written drivers are the most common cause for bsod:s, blue screen of death, in Windows. WiFi is basically built on standard protocols (TCP, UDP, HTTP) and as a developer you can focus your development efforts on your own software and features, not drivers and other stuff. Similar goes for bluetooth.

As has been discussed in other threads, bluetooth has speed limitations and if you are experiencing skips etc. in fast sections of a script then that might be the issue. No software updates will solve that since the limitation is in the bluetooth standards and/or hardware.

It’s skipping in the gap filled sections. While the skips aren’t exclusive to the gap filled sections, I’m pointing this out because I can control the speed of these sections to be reasonable and I know that the strokes should be perfectly rhythmic.

5 posts were split to a new topic: Help with script player and handy

Same on my end.
some videos shutter quite a bit, where on MPC player there is no issue.

hello, it’s ok, I did everything you said but the handy doesn’t appear for me on device

I currently have a bluetooth 5.0 dongle. I see that the newer bluetooth 5.2 offers lower latency than previous versions. Has anyone tried 5.2? I’m wondering if it would be worth upgrading to. I’m hoping that with lower latency, the faster scripts will work better

God damn, just tried this for the first time. I don’t think I can ever go back to Wi-Fi. Messing with the offsets on Wi-Fi was such a freaking boner killer.

If you haven’t tried bluetooth yet, you don’t know what you’re missing.

TheHandy use Bluetooth 4.2. That is the “bottleneck” but should not have any effect on the speed of the device. You can use higher level bluetooth dongles but it have not any effects on the device.

For me, WiFi still handles the complex scripts better then BT… IS there a way i can get the same with BT?

Like the vibration on some scripts are just stutters on BT

Most likely not. When you control the Handy via wifi you download the entire script to the device and only timestamps are communicated from time to time to make sure the script remains in sync. With BT every stroke is sent as a command and that is way more data and is pushing the BT communication to the limits of the specification for fast scripts.

Can’t seem to get this working…
It all look connected and ready but the Handy does nothing.

Latest ScriptPlayer (1.2.1) running
Installed Initface Central 2.6.0+26
Configured the buttplug details as original post.
Turn Handy on, get it so light is blue.

Launch Scriptplayer which launches Initface
I use the big Play button on initface and in Scriptplayer it says ‘buttplug’ connected.
Load video, it finds .funscript file with same name and starts playing
but the handy does nothing.

What am I missing?

BTW it seems to work connecting directly using the key and the web url.

deovr player does not show in script player anymore. heard it was renamed to HereSphere. my headset still says deovr.

DeoVR and Heresphere are two completely different video players.

Maybe you’re thinking of DeoVR and the SLR VR player. Those are basically the same. DeoVR change shape when you go to the SLR url.

i know they’re different players. was sayin Script player does not show the Deovr player like ti use to. i don’t use the SLR site. i use local offline videos. and wondered how to get it to wondered in my headset again. . and i was referring to this info bout the Heresphere

So I’m using ScriptPlayer and the latest Intiface. Running win 10 with latest BT drivers. Latest Handy Firmware. Nothing is working… is this no longer supported for BT? Is wifi the only way to use scriptplayer and the handy?

No expert here but if by latest Handy firmware you mean Firmware version 4 then it uses a new Bluetooth stack. There is a way to get to the old bluetooth stack on fw4 and it’s something like holding up and pressing the Wi-Fi action button, but you might have to confirm this.
