VR Video Player for Local VR Files (itch.io)

Came across this great option, coming to steam soon but currently available on itch.io. works well to play immersive VR videos on the steam frame.

It looks like streaming VR content from websites is not something that can easily be done current state on the frame. If you have VR videos loaded on a local hard drive, this app works great to view them via the 6ghz dongle.

Hope this helps someone because I was not having success with deovr or other players on steam.

Edit: Realizing this might not be gaming related but steam frame related. If there's a better community for this sort of content would you please let me know?

Oh, that's fantastic to hear. I've been quite annoyed as well, and don't really want a local video player, even with good options. I mostly just want to poke around YouTube, poke around for something stupid like a guy base jumping with a 360 camera, say "that's neat", and go back to gaming on it. Having to find some YT downloader to sit in the middle of that kinda ruins the appeal, even if it would work.
