Stash VR Help

I’m trying to get a Stash setup running on my Windows 10 PC so that I can watch VR and 2d content on my Quest 2. Unfortunately, virtually every guide assumes that Stash is running off a Linux-based NAS. Mine is not because I was too lazy and cheap. I just have a big ol internal 16TB drive in my PC. Previously, I set it up as a SMB share and browsed via Heresphere. This worked fine, but I like the idea of previews, tags, etc. etc.

So… I managed to get Stash running and working in the default, port 9999 setup.

Stash 9999

I can browse this on my PC, phone, and Quest 2 just fine. Everything plays in the Stash video player. BUT Stash video player is kinda ass, and most importantly, it does not support true VR by default.

Looking into my options, it seems like Stash-VR OR Stash Vr-companion is the way to go. BUT then we run into Linux fun.

I downloaded and I THINK I managed to get Docker Desktop working??? This was a whole process. Then I THINK I managed to create a container for the latest version of Stash-VR.

9999 still works, but when I try to access the suggested 9666 port (by launching through Docker Desktop OR manually entering it into my browser) I get THIS:

Stash-vr error

Docker shows me THIS:

I am lost. I think that you’re supposed to “point” Stash VR at the regular Stash instance? I have no idea where or how to do that. Again, every guide assumes I am just running Linux and have Linux commands.

Is what I am asking even possible? Should I abandon the idea of getting this to run on my Windows PC and just settle for flat content through Stash? Do I start over from scratch with something else like XBVR?

Please help lol

Edit: I should also mention that I want this setup to work with scripts for both the Handy and my OSR2 multi-axis (preferably through MFP, but whatever works at this point). I am not married to Heresphere over DeoVR or something else, but I know Heresphere from my previous setup. I just want it to work SOMEHOW.

Run Stash so its on.
Then run this GitHub - o-fl0w/stash-vr: Watch your stash library in VR. windows version has a exe in the zip.

I use heresphere so thats the only vr player i know, In here sphere go to http://127.0.0.1:9666/heresphere.

It wont fully have the stash ui but it knows all your tags

A small thing i do to help sort stuff is i use studio’s as a filter so i have a studio for VR,FLAT,Animation,PMV,HMV and the like makes it 10x easier to know what something is at a glance

Edit- my whole setup is run off a external hard drive connected to my pc that was windows 10 and is currently windows 11, and i never used docker desktop or anything i just ran the exe from stash VR

I got so hung up on the " Installation" section of the Readme that I didn’t even check to see what files were part of the release.

BUT I am still having issues. I can get to the right page in heresphere now, but none of the scenes show images, and when I select one it “loads” in the player, but doesn’t actually play anything.

Hmm are you also running stash in a docker or anything.
I just run it as a exe

Try going to http://localhost:9666/ with stashvr running in your internet browser like chrome or firefox and see if it says anything.

Wait i think i got what you got make sure Stashvr AND STASH are running dont turn Stash off you need both on at the same time, when i turned stash off but kept vr on i got this

Both are running, and when I go to 9666 in browser, I get this:

In Heresphere, that screenshot you posted is pretty much exactly what i see. No preview images show. When I try to play any of my videos, they “load” in my player, but then I get a message that:

The video file might be unsupported or the video decoding resources are fully used. Currently, 10bit h264 videos, wmv, avi, and Dolby Audio will not work.

I’ve tried with a bunch of different files, but it won’t even play a simple mp4.

Hmm maybe missing a codec pack? Download K-Lite Codec Pack i use mega just to have a wide net.

make sure to update video card drivers and maybe a hereshpere media player settings that caused my to crash for awhile till i swapped it to media foundation

edit im dumb and put wrong Photo

another good thing to check is see if you can watch a video in heresphere by going to it manually if it lets you watch it then its a stash/stashvr issue

Tried the codec pack, but no dice. I even made sure to run the latest version of Heresphere.

Videos load fine on the 9999 stash connection in PC web browser, and even in the stash player in the browser on Heresphere.

When I go to play a video in Herespherre via 9666, I get that error.

Stash-vr.exe shows me whatever THIS is.

For reference, it looks like THIS when I start it without playing anything.

WTF? I don’t even have the option to switch my media player.

11

I found this with the error code it might help stash-vr0.9.1 fails to find any scenes · Issue #71 · o-fl0w/stash-vr · GitHub
Your second photo looks just like mine.

maybe something got changed when you ran it in the docker maybe try a fresh stash-vr.exe is all i got or see if what fixed that helps

12

it wont let you? its a setting in heresphere

That Media Player menu just does not exist?

14

Thats really weird are you on a old version or a beta?

Edit- i see a post saying you need k-lite codec pack for it to show but you said you had that so i dont know, also does your stash have a login/password or a API key i didnt set one up from mine and if you do stashvr might be getting locked out.

15

Literally just downloaded the latest version from the Meta store (0.11.12). I was using a free, sideloaded version before.

16

Hmm i use the steam version and virtual desktop in so maybe the meta store one doesn’t have it

17

When you start stash-vr.exe does StashGraphQLUrl:REDACTED(29) have actual infor next to it? Looks like that may be my issue, but I have no idea how to point that at anything.

I hate this lol

18

Mine looks the same as yours on that end i think i might have something for you to try if your hereshpere is running on your quest and not your pc you might need to change the link from what i gave you to the pc. Open Command prompt on your pc, type in ipconfig and look for your IPV4 address then in Hereshpere go to Http://(YOUR IPV4):9666

19

That IS how I have been accessing stash the whole time. I guess I can try getting a refund for heresphere on the quest and seeing if I can make this work via remote desktop… more fuckin wires lol

Ya my setup has everything running on my pc then my quest just streams my pc. You can try airlink/Steamlink first to see if everything is working before you buy anything like virtual desktop, you would need to buy hereshpere on pc if you haven’t or maybe just "find’ a copy i think there’s also a free demo version?
