Hi, I didn't see this thread until now. DirectShowSource uses native codecs, typically supplied by the K-Kite codec pack, if my install guidance was followed. These can leverage GPU hardware. I introduced FFMS2, which is based on FFMpeg, as it does not need native codecs to read many file types so ...

I am in the UK, I know that we are in differnt time zones. Right now we should both be awake though!

I have spent the afternoon installing and setting up the BigScreen Steam VR solution on my system.

I detailed the spec of my system in the install guide, but essentially it is an MSI GF65 Thin ...

The other user with an issue reported this:

"I tested to see if it is able to run the videos better over bigscreen dlna compared to just VLC, and surprisingly bigscreen DLNA was more reliable? I figured it would be the other way around but VLC would just outright stop the videos at random points ...

Yet another user is also using the BigScreen Steam version with VLC and UMS release 13.0.1. They have been using this setup with a Vive Pro headset for some time and I have had extensive discussions with them, see here. It is working extremely well for them:

In the attached log file:

Video Starts Playing in UMS 18:50:24.955
Unexpected VLC request 18:50:29.685
VLC Causes UMS IO exception 18:50:29.736
Video Stops Playing in UMS 18:50:51.006

It looks like VLC stops communicating with UMS about 5 seconds into the video, but UMS carries on playing it for ...

If it's a codec issue, try installing the "mega" K-Lite Codec pack rather than the standard one that I suggest in the guide:

That might well help.

MPC-HC does not seem to support DLNA so cannot be used directly with UMS. Although, there are some MPC-HC ...

Thanks for the response. It's an odd one I know.

Hi, it's threedguru here. I want to enable 2D to 3D conversion for the Web Player. I should be able to add a setting to the relevant renderer config file to do this. I cannot see an obvious one for the Web Player. Could you point me in the right direction please? I'm hoping this isn't a code change.

Hi,
Re: On-the-fly 2D to 3D Video Conversion for VR Headsets

I posted this in your Feature Suggestions area a couple of days ago. I have the code and a video demonstration.

mik_s responded positively about talking to the Developers on GitHub. I'm not sure what the process is for that. Do you want ...

Hi,

I am interested in Virtual Reality and 3D video. I have been converting 2D video to 3D for sometime, using an offline process, for then viewing in 3D in my VR headset. This is a great way to watch all kinds of content more immersively.

A few weeks ago I had the idea that it would be nice to ...
