Synchronization instructions:

- Synchronization is a feature that keeps a movie in sync between two devices. To enable sync, first set up the IP of the device you wish to sync with in Settings/General, where you can also find the IP of your own device. Do this on both phones so they have each others IP configured.

- Select a video to play. If it's a local video it must be present on both devices.

- In the VR UI, click the "sync" button on both devices to enable synchronization.

- On one of the devices, start the video by pressing the play button. After a small delay, the movie will start playing synchronized on both devices.

Seeking and network play is supported!

Feature suggestions and bug reports are always welcome!

Permission usage:

NFC, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE : Used by the Cardboard SDK to set up and save your headset configuration.

ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Used for finding the IP of your device and displaying it in the Sync settings, to help set up synchronized play with another device.

INTERNET, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Required for accessing media on the device and for streaming.

Note: The VIBRATE permission is not used and will be removed in the next release.

The newest update has rendered this app useless on huawei mate 9. No matter which combination of video settings I use, it is only a black screen. Audio works fine. Not sure why you'd change the video playback in a way that would render it useless. Regret paying for this app now. Hopefully an update fixes this and I will change my rating if it becomes usable again EDIT: App is fully functional again, thank you for the speedy update. Rating has been changed to correctly assess this app. 5/5

Thanks for the report! I have pushed an update that I think fixed the most urgent issues, and it would be great to know if it works better for you now.

Most of the videos I play end up severly pixelated, choppy, or freeze completely; then the app will freeze half the time, and that's even with quite a few lower quality vr vids. My phone can handle the videos too (I have a galaxy s8+) because it can view most high quality VR videos on Deovr just fine, I was just looking to be abke to view a couole of file types that Deovr can't. It makes videos completely unwatchable. I regret not trying the free version first.

I have a Galaxy S8 and use the Daydream. This is unfortunately the only VR player available now in 2022 for this setup that even remotely works. 2 stars because it plays my videos well enough, but the floating UI that DOES NOT GO AWAY is annoying. It's just always in front of my videos. I have to screw around with it for a long time to get it out of the way. Why would there be no Hide UI option? But I guess it's only $3, so you get what you pay for.
