VRTV VR Video Player

Apparently VRTV can no longer play files that are launched from a file viewer, but they run perfectly when opened from within the app. Hands down the best VR video player, the game pad support and customization options take this far beyond what anything else is offering.

Update 7/9/17: After updating, it's working quite well again. No issues with UI so far and streaming works well. Still wish it had the option for the old gaze controls, but the controller implementation isn't terrible except when in the file browser it doesn't show the cursor "laser." Previous review: Was a perfect video viewing app until the recent update. Previously, large streams worked seamlessly and gaze-based interactions worked perfectly fine. Now it forces you into Daydream mode regardless of NFC being on, which I do not want at all and don't see an option to turn off. The UI once you're in this mode get's pretty buggy, with the play controls being crooked and sometimes re-rendering into strange positions. Worst of all the previously smooth streams are now choppy and unwatchable. Please revert and I will update to 5 stars as it once was.

Great features and smart UI design. Prettier and easier than other VR viewers. Thanks Chai.

Edit: On second thought this isn't the best way to report failures. The app has historically worked great and the play store's lack of archives is hardly the developer's fault. When it worked it was the best. Recent updates over the past month seems to have degraded the quality. It fails to play all media from usb on my Nexus 5x. Will update as bugfixes roll in. Would be nice if I could install older versions.

Wondering why my Galaxy 7 keeps going into "do not disturb" mode every time I stream a video...any help?

Great VR viewer. Cannot figure out though how it determines video format from the file name. Dev. Any manual where this is described?

This was the best viewer and now after the daydream update nothing works. I tried everything and I can't even load the environment properly, it is full of artifacts of some sort. Axon 7.

My best viewer for almost a year so far.. wish it has playlists or at least play directory :). latest version have a white fit in center I can't remove.

Recent update with daydream support just messed everything what was gift before. UI actions don't hide anymore

The videos have been very choppy since the last update.

Great app , still has some bugs

Doesn't play my videos anymore, just a black screen. Used to be a great app.

Great performance and an incredible array of controls for everything you could want... but not for brightness? Lol Cool for people who like dim, washed out video, I guess. EDIT: It's actually fine if I uncheck the 'VR' box. But that's not useful for my purposes. EDIT: With auto-brightness off and manual brightness at 100% it's still heavily limited by the app.

Using it somewhat clunkily with my daydream headset. A nearly perfect application for all sorts of VR and 3D video. Super flexible. The only real thing holding it back from that last star is that there is no network file explorer which really is a hamper for those of us with NAS media repositories.

Good dev job. All I'd say if u could, add support for use of the daydream controller? And maybe some instructions? I can play and watch vids fine, just curious as to what all the other stuff does (I don't want to break what already works). Thanks for your work, great app

You ruined my favourite VR player. Now I am stuck with a big white x top left and a line in the middle. The options to hide these do not work. But worst of all is the drift. Since updating recently I am having to reset alignment every 30 seconds. My gyroscope is calibrated perfectly but the screen is constantly drifting. I wish I could go back to an earlier version because you have made it useless...... edit to reply: I have tried every type of headset tracking. None show an improvement. I see there was an update recently but the hide settings and hide exit still do nothing when ticked.

This app is pretty much the best for VR viewing. All it really needs is brightness control. I watched a 3 hour movie the other day and my eyes were extremely tired after because I was too lazy to change the brightness. Also on my device subtitle support is not working, which is weird because I remember it previously working.

This is a fantastic app. I tried a number of similar apps with my Daydream headset, and this had most of the things I was looking for. Would still love portrait orientation option, but overall very well done. This will now be my go to.

I really hope daydream support is developed for this, but even if it wasn't it's still a good app. The only problem is that when using daydream, the mounts that touch the screen trigger the re-centre input. Is there a way to lock the centre point once you set it? so it doesn't get triggered by placing the phone in the goggles.

Quite simply there isnt a better VR video app. I've tried them all and this has been the best by far. I really love that recentering the image is done with a single tap. Great app

Works perfectly fine, however my one big complaint is if you're looping the same short animation, it does not loop smoothly. Player freezes up momentarily on the loop restart

Definitely the best VR video player out there. Could use a spacial audio feature so that turning your head will also rotate the stereo audio field. Also, some documentation for the more advanced features would be appreciated!

AVI files have no sound. It's a problem as most of my movies are AVI format and conversion to mp4 takes for ever. Little help?

Please please please add daydream controller support, and otg & network folder file explorer capabilities. Edit- thanks for the heads up!

There are precious few apps that play movies and also work with the Daydream View. This is one of them and it works the best of them as well... can't wait for any Daydream updates.

Best 3D video player out there. My only question is how it determines the default setting for a video (ie.Screen=flat/dome/sphere or Video Type=3D SBS vs 3D OU). When I open different files they seem to have these video settings initially set randomly. Is there some sort of file naming convention that can be used so that the videos start up correctly, without having to change them each time?

Best player for VR enviroment. You can use it as external player for Web browser too. For developer, can you please add Static View mode (without gyro) VR for 2D movie and Subtitle support for network/lan file?

Awesome. By far the best be player on the market. Clearest picture, no drift like all the others. Can't wait till I get to use the paid version and can navigate through my library without leaving it interface.

Great app, nearly perfect. The video can be launched from network drive via Es file manager (all some other similar app, not tested except ES file manager.) However, how do I use Vr interface to browser files? Have to take the phone out every time when a video finished as it go back to normal non-vr display. Can someone shed some lights on this?

Best VR player in market, that's for sure, so it deserves 5-stars, but i'm still missing some important features: 1. FOV settings 2. LAN browser 3. OTG support 4. Recognition of the VR format according to the correct naming of file

Was trying to find a player for free, but none could do the trick. This one way worth the money because it handles every format and has a great UI for viewing with no need to take out of viewer

Great performance, awesome app best to watch/play any VR video and easy control provided while the video is being played just add Five more stars⭐ to user experience.

There is no audio output while playing mkv files, more codecs needed for better performance

Best VR video player for Daydream so far. Little work to figure out but excellent once up and running. Remote support would be nice but works well without it.

Worth the price, works great on headsets without buttons. Only thing missing is wmv support.

Doesn't work in daydream complete lie I set setting for start in vr and don't work don't buy

I love the fake movie theater effect when watching 2D movies.

Great ui design and one if the few vr players that doesn't stutter on my device.

Please make it for gearvr bro, at this moment only 2 video app available abd both of them totally suck comparing to this app

Still No. 1 VR player on the earth, BUT still need more update. first, in app UIs like file list viewer, LAN support. and it doesn't looks like play DTS sound. :( lastly, really need 4K format support. all oculus files refuse to play. oh.. I missed I want this app to support direct access of internal microSD and OTG USB also. thank you for great app and I eager to see your next update! ========= from today, VRTV doen''t work. when I try to open file, it terminated. also I try to get into setup menu, also it terminated. please help me.
