unfortunately youtube stopped working for me but besides that everything great!
better than anything else i tried for watching movies (even 3D with SBS is working) as well as watching 360 degree video content.

Great VR media player., with low latency, and excellent image quality. I wish there were a way to sort favorites though. Currently they will only appear in the order they were saved.

Had to find a new player because DeoVR broke, again, after a recent update. I don't like "sitting in a room" to watch my content, so players like Bigscreen aren't an option for me. Skybox has similar enough features to DeoVr that I made the switch. The automatic detection for VR videos (SBS, 360°, Top-Bottom) is enough a quality of life improvement that even if DeoVr ever gets fixed, I won't be switching back.

Watched Avatar 3D SBS MKV from my PC. And used my home theater connected to my PC for an awesome sound experience while watching It! I would like more theater locations thou.

Love the idea just the execution wasn't quite there yet if you're watching something 1080p with 16:9 aspect ratio I don't see it being an issue but you can't watch anything with a cinematic aspect ratio that doesn't look like s***. I tried watching anime looks great recommend if that's your use case. Just one thing I would add the ability to use your desktop on the big screen I'm surprised they didn't already do that. Love the theater environments I thought they did a really good job with the distance from the screen really well thought out for both the default and the far away options the super close one needs work you only can see half of the screen because of the chairs in front of you blocking it. One critique the far away option please center it it just bothers me, I'm the type of person that wants to be in the middle of the screen and it's off by a couple seats. The UI I feel it needs modernized.

works well for 3D bluray rips, this is the only software i can find which will do all of these things:
play 3d movies
play in vr
play full SBS files (two 1080p videos side by side, no stretching)
there's only two things that i wish this did better, first being that it can't play the original MVC file from a bluray, meaning it has to be encoded before playback. this really sucks considering it takes 2-3 hours to encode a single movie so you need to go through your library before you want to watch them in 3d vr.
secondly, in the cinema view you can see the reflection of the screen which is a very neat feature! unfortunately when playing a SBS file (and presumably any other 3d file) you can see that the reflection hasn't changed to match the 3d view, so it doesn't look right, i can see the original SBS file being used for the reflection. i changed to the ultra cinema which doesnt have reflections on the top, so that is a sort of workaround.
