Can't Watch Own Videos ? - Samsung Gear VR

Hello Everyone
I have got my S7 Edge and my free Gear VR
I would like to watch my own video and movies on it which I believe I should be able to do.
For the life of me I cannot get it to work.
My S7 edge has a 200gb memory card in it so how on earth do I get it to work ..... its driving me nuts
I have followed guides online but still it wont see any of my videos.
The Gear VR even says " to watch your own videos just copy them to your phone " ..... AAAAGGGHHHH !!!! I am but it wont see them never mind play them.
Maybe that's why they gave them away for free with the pre-order of the phone.
I feel like an idiot because I'm normally quite good at this type of thing but I have been trying for days now and it has me beat !!
Thank You for any help

Thank You

Don't think it deserves a new topic, so here i go:
My own videos (which i can watch normally with oculus video) are not shown in any of the "theatre" mode, like home cinema, cinema, ant, moon, whatever. All i can see is my video like it was watch just in VOID mode. Any way to see it in other modes as well?

Download VR Gallery from vr store and watch all ur gallery

The best and easiest way: First of copy your movies in folder name "Movies" wherever you like, either SD card or internal memory. You can also creat folders there i.e. 3D, 360 Videos, My videos etc. Then connect your mobile to VR and download app "Oculus Video". Open it then look at the bottom left "MY VIDEOS". You will find all your stuff there. Goodluck

I think for now there is no good solution yet because of too high latency for VR. But if you want to watch your own 2D/3D/360° movies you can just put them on the SD card of the Note 4 to watch in Gear VR.

It works. But it's a method of screen mirroring to your device. Apparently there are some quirks that need to be worked out to get it fully operational. It requires an additional app for head tracking. Plus you need to basically mod every pc program you want to use to support what is essentially a false HMD. I'm still working on it.

I've also noticed a lot of latency issues with a lot of apps meant for cardboard versus the gear vr apps. Basically anything meant for cardboard is "ok" as far as head tracking goes. But the gear apps are nearly perfect. (you can use cardboard apps by sliding the phone into place while holding the usb connection tilted so it doesn't quite connect) As an example, I tried Vanguard V before it was released for gear using the cardboard version. The tracking lag was irritating to say the least. But when I tried the gear version, the tracking was perfect. This makes me hesitant on how well this will work in general. Though some of them are hit or miss on tracking. A few are almost as good as the gear vr stuff. Almost. I think the Gear VR headset may have additional tracking sensors built into it. After all, it says "mouse disconnected" when you remove the handset from the headset.
I think there is gyro in headset itself. There is folder called oculus in phone storage with "gyrocalibration" file inside

That also could be calibration on the phone gyro.

My youtube video of girls using the Gear VR for the first time

http://youtu.be/XAe3fQRv0w0
I went to the bar last night and brought my Gear VR with me and this is some funny clips from that night. It's all girls first time experiences. Enjoy! NSFW
youre a hit with the ladies hehe
Haha what can I say the ladies like all my tech.. What's crazy is how ubiquitous the response has been to this with girls. It's always pretty much in sequence of "what's that?", "Oh what's VR?", "Holy sh*t this exists???!", followed by 99% of the time "where's the porn???", "I want one!!!".
Great video.
Where did you get the porn? Are you using trailers or the full video?
It's from virtualrealporn.com it's the full length ones that I'm showing.

Same site I have been downloading the trailers from. The only thing is that they are only 180 degree and have to be viewed using the Milk section.
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but when the video is playing there are two screens top and bottom instead of only one wide.
What do you think?

Make a folder named VoltVR in the root directory of your phone not your sd card and put the videos in there and put _3dv before .mp4 in the file name of the video and it should work now and be 3d.

Thanks Jace.
I'll do that when I get home after work. After following your steps above, would the videos play in the Milk or the 360 video section?
Have you tried downloading the full movies from ttorrent? Would you care to share the file if you have it on a cloud storage?

It'll be in milk but milk is better since it's more like a traditional video player. There isn't any torrents last I checked for the gear vr just the oculus which when I tried it wasn't the right ratio or something because it scrunched everything. I'll try to put it up if I can later. You can get a 2 week pass for like 5 bucks that's what I did. First time I payed for porn probably lol.

Thanks man, I am testing and downloading some videos from YouTube.
I have followed your instructions on adding the VoltVR folder and adding the "_3dv" with great results. One thing though is that I would rather have the file stored on the sd card; is there any way to have Milk feeding off of the sd card instead of the phone?
It would great if you can put the "p-videos" you have up so we can experiment. I'll send you a couple of bucks to help out with the cost if you have a PayPal account.
Thanks in advance.
I found a good full adult movie that I'm uploading to my cloud and will share once complete.
This is where I got the torrent from https://www.dropbox.com/s/q75c5ydj2...on+(Headtracking+3D+Oculus+Porn).torrent?dl=0
The only thing with this one is that you have to add the "_3dh" instead of the "_3dv" before the ".mp4".
Did anyone download the movie listed above? The ratio is not right, it is just ok. Let me know if there if anything there is anything we can do to fix the file.
I'll try it tonight also you can feed off your sdcard for the milk videos did you figure it out? If not I'll post the directions

Thanks Jace,
To get it to work from the sd card I will drop the folder into the root directory. Not sure if that will do, I will try later.
I'm currently still looking for a good adult VR movie other than the trailers. I would like to have it for show since I get asked a million times by girls if I can show them "porn" lol.
Jace, you have to share what you have man. Send something you think will "wow" the masses, I'll send a couple of bucks your way if you need me too.
Thanks in advance.
I have downloaded some adult content but it is for the oculus rift (what I believe). The video is way too tall or wide when I try doing the "_3dh". It is originally side to side.
Any pointers?

Sorry man works been keeping me busy. Um yeah I had the same problem with those torrents.. Those were made for the oculus so that's why the image gets scrunched like that. Maybe there's a way to fix that by changing the resolution for it but I'm not sure. Did you still want me to used a video? I can probably upload one to my Dropbox or something if yoj want to try it.

Yes, please upload a good video to the cloud so we can get it from there. I just need one for demo so make it a good one of you can.
The "convention" trailer with the two girls looks great if you have full.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Jace,
Did you ever get around that video you said you were going to upload to the cloud?
Thanks

How did you guys get the Milk read the videos on your micro SD card?
I tried moving the folder to the root directory but nothing! Also tried moving it inside the Oculus folder with no good results.

Use the FolderMount app to trick your phone into using the external card.
Y Did anyone get the adult content videos yet?
I have never paid for porn before nor wanted my credit card linked to any adult site but I think this completes the VR experience.
It is great not necessarily in a perverted way but more at an experimental level and fun. they did a great job on the video quality as they look 2 times better than the blurry ones from the 360 video library.
I have a couple of good videos are ready and I will be downloading and uploading more to my cloud storage. If you are interested shoot me a PM and I have no problem sharing what I have.
Don't forget to add the "_3dv" before the .mp4

Using Gear VR from INDIA

hi friends. i am using Indian Note 4. i bought the Gear VR from Australia. initially i had lots of doubts regarding Device compatibility, as in India this kind of technology is very new and there won't be enough sources to help me in ease. so i decided to gather information from US, UK, Australia(currently Gear VR released in these places only). and i would like to share these with you all. especially to my fellow Indians.
First.
1. Gear VR (US,UK,Australia) Supports Indian Note 4(Lollipop). but prefer Australian model because it has the same model (SM-N910G)
2. Gear VR does not Shows videos is Full HD...not even 720P. it comes roughly around 480P but worth experiencing.
3. As Milk VR is only limited for US, i tried using it by faking my VPN. i tried with Hola App from play store. changed the region to US and Milk VR supports now.(No need of ROOT). but to use Milk VR in Gear VR, u need hola app to run in background which leads me to connect with Wifi or mobile network whenever i'm into Milk VR.
4. i am still trying to find a way to play 360 videos available in Youtube, but there are lot of 360 videos to download from various sites. i prefer airpano.com (Using IDM i am able download those videos and play it in Gear VR). Ultra HD 360 videos are not supported.
5. Gear VR has support to play all your mobile videos and photos. MP4 has support, but MKV is not supporting.
6. Mobile gets heated pretty quick while playing games. which leads me to remove my VR to cool down.
7. Battery Charge is reduced depending upon what you are watching. for movies it lasts for more than an hour, for games 20min max.
8. Gear VR can play all cardboard apps from Google Play Store but you need to attach the mobile without plugging the USB port.
9. Gear VR can be used to Play Porn Videos in 360. but still it is hard to find free videos. virtualrealporn.com has 360 and 180 videos but all are paid ones.
10. Most important thing. Back up all the contents available in the memory card came along with Gear VR. if you are using CCleaner app, it deletes all the contents. u can copy paste all the contents to your existing memory card. but remember it should be pasted in the root folder of your SD card.
That's all for now. please share your ideas and contents if you have anything to offer. Thanks.
thank you for this info I am from India too can we order it online? ?
if yes from where? I need it too if not online any other way to purchase ( I don't have anyone who can buy for me in US etc)

Hey Vijay,
Thanks a lot for your valuable info. Had a lot of doubts regarding the compatibility issues with indian note 4. Saw your post and ordered through my cousin who came from the US last week. Glad to tell you that it works like a charm. The device just blows you away. It is an instant hit with all my family and friends. Its fun to watch other people tripping on it.:victory:
The Hola app is very useful for surfing content on the Milk vr.
The only issue I'm facing is the overheating problem. It works for about 20 min till I have to remove it for cooling it down.
Thanks Vijay,
Wouldn't have got this gem of a device if it wasn't for your post.
Cheers!!!

I got the Gear VR for the note 4 from USA.
issue is that , when I try to download the firmware for the phone(after connecting it to the Gear VR). It keeps failing with a "network error".
Do I need to be running on a specific kernel or the stock kernel should be sufficient (I have the Indian snapdragon note 4)

Using Gear VR to play non-VR Android games.

Okay, so I've done a fair amount of looking around and since I was unable to come up with any information on how to do this, it's likely not possible. First thing, I admit I have yet to receive my promotional Gear VR from purchasing a Galaxy S7 Edge on a pre-order. I have just been trying to figure out what the VR is capable of doing. In particular I've been trying to figure out if it was possible to play games like Walking War Robots or Modern Combat 5 with the Gear VR. Had anybody had any luck with playing any NON-VR games with their Gear VR? I understand that it would be quite unlikely to have the software render these games in true 3D, but I'm more-or-less trying to find a way to play a standard game in a split screen view so it just looks like a large screen in front of my face. I don't think it would be too hard to take the original video output of a game and double it up in split screen for it to be used like this, but I'm no programmer, and wouldn't know where to begin. I would use my phone with an MHL adapter but I've been told it isn't compatible, but that's for another forum topic. If anyone has any info on any of this I'd appreciate it if you could get back to me. If this hasn't been done yet, but is possible, some developer could potentially make a lot of money making an app that would split the video output of a standard game. Thanks in advance to anyone who has any info on doing this.
Yes i'm also interested in this post. When you can only play normal non-vr games in 2D It's enough.
Holy word-wrap Batman. Sorry, your post was very hard to read without spaces but I will read slowly and try again (not to be jerk but it was honestly hard to read).
Okay, so you CAN play non-VR games with the Gear VR but it involves a few different things.
First off, you need a decent PC and a good bandwidth connection to stream to the phone.
Second, there are softwares out there that will turn your games into 3D - the most inclusive one is TrinusVR <---very easy to use, the harder one is Tridef 3D but the results are nicer graphically.
Third, it becomes hard to control with the Gear VR, so it really depends on what the game is and what support there is.
If you have Stream Theatre via the SideloadVR App, try that out. You need Steam on your computer as well. Pair that up with head-tracking such as FacetrackNoIR or Opentrack, you should be set

Thanks for this answer but I think we mean play non-vr android games or apps from our phone on the gear vr. So Normal apps which are already on the phone. When it's only 2D it's enough.

Thanks for this answer but I think we mean play non-vr android games or apps from our phone on the gear vr. So Normal apps which are already on the phone. When it's only 2D it's enough. Sort of second screen in front of your face. For example I've PlayStation remote app on my phone so when I can start that one up with the gear vr I can play my PlayStation

^Ah I completely misunderstood, sorry! But here is the question, most games use touch, how would you play without the touch if the gear vr is on your face?
I know some games allow controllers but I don't think we can do anything for that yet.
And yes, we can play steam games with Gear VR! !!

No problem?
I've connected my ds4 controller with my S7 so can play some games with it but I was wondering if it was also possible by using the gear vr to open normal apps like PlayStation remote and play as second screen with the gear vr

Yes, that would be very cool if there was a way but if you think about it from a technical perspective, you are changing the game resolution on the phone to split into two screens vs. streaming content which is easier to split into Side-by-side.
I will still keep hope, though! I know there is a way to play Android games on your phone...lol that would be too complicated:
Android -> to PC->stream back to phone in 3D

Not to mention the lag that would entail from multiple conversions...

This is for rooted devices only. But it looks like it will work. Once I work up the nerve, and figure it how, to root my brand new GS7 I'll give it another shot. Thanks for the add!

Notice they don't mention that in their app description in the play store?

Also not for an S6 apparently. Supports something like 11 devices.
This is how
I have been playing emulator games in VR since yesterday (legend of dragoon, ff9), and even watched a little vr porn.
You need to get PACKAGE DISABLER PRO. It does cost $1.95, but its more than worth it. I registered just to post this so i cant link yet
Disable gear vr service, then you can do whatever you want in VR. This requires no root. Also apps that work with cardboard can work with hear vr. So in my case epsxe emulator has cardboard support, which means gear vr Support
Thank me later like drake

This is old news. Except the "do whatever you want in VR". Just isn't true.

Holy word-wrap Batman. Sorry, your post was very hard to read without spaces but I will read slowly and try again (not to be jerk but it was honestly hard to read).
Okay, so you CAN play non-VR games with the Gear VR but it involves a few different things.
First off, you need a decent PC and a good bandwidth connection to stream to the phone.
Second, there are softwares out there that will turn your games into 3D - the most inclusive one is TrinusVR <---very easy to use, the harder one is Tridef 3D but the results are nicer graphically.
Third, it becomes hard to control with the Gear VR, so it really depends on what the game is and what support there is.
If you have Stream Theatre via the SideloadVR App, try that out. You need Steam on your computer as well. Pair that up with head-tracking such as FacetrackNoIR or Opentrack, you should be set

Seems you missed the point of my original post. I realize I can port PC games to my phone for VR use, but I want to play games that are meant for android on my gear in the original format, just split screen for the image of a large screen directly in front of me. And what we're you talking about word-wrap? There's clearly a space between all of my words. Shall I double space for you next time?

Oh, great! I can imagine the s7 edge won't be one either then.

My apologies for misunderstanding, that native SBS app seems worthy but have not tried it with a rooted device yet. As for your word-space issue, I did not see any paragraphs so the sentences were hard to read. Good luck.
