EMby for Oculus?

[chjohans 34]

Just picked up an Oculus Go, and it's great for watching movies on a huge screen! Netflix has a native app that works well, so does Amazon Video. Then there is PlexVR for those who has a Plex server. But no EmbyVR for those of us who use Emby.

 

Any chance of seeing EmbyVR for Oculus in the near future?

Hi, it's something that we're interested in for future updates. Thanks for the feedback.

You can browse the emby library on oculus browsers as you would on a windows browser by going to http://app.emby.media/#!/home, the only snag is there is no way to watch vr videos in _LR_180  mode or 3d videos in sbs mode. Would be great if there was an option to enter VR mode in the controls, the emby player controls override the oculus browsers controls so you cant change that way

 

For watching standard movies its pretty much perfect as you have the sleek user interface you get on windows

You can also watch movies on Emby via Skybox on Oculus. Browse Network on Skybox for Emby DLNA, then connect.

If you view a 3D movie, it will play as SBS, or 180, or 360.

That's great, thanks for the info.

I use Emby in the oculus web browser regularly.  I like it a lot.  I just have an issue where the volume control went away with a recent update.  I checked desktop mode and mobile mode but I can't get the volume control to show back up again.  Very  annoying.  If you want to view 3D videos Skybox + Emby DLNA seems to be the best approach, because of the controls mentioned and there seems to be a quality difference.

What about the physical volume buttons?

Physical buttons work but not when I'm trying to adjust the volume relative to other browser windows.
