Skybox has the best 2D quality, you can look at the edges of the frame - there’s no jaggies! It applied anti-aliasing unlike other video apps. This function is also available in Samsung VR player, but not the built-in Oculus Gallery. It just looks right, proportionally - it really looks like a real cinema! Another advantage is the ability to zoom the screen, so you can adjust the screen size. The cinema environment is much better looking and clearer than Oculus Gallery. The streaming/buffering performance are about the same so I will not compared them.įor watching film or TV show, the best app is Skybox VR.

The videos are all streamed from my MacBook Pro using Kodi.

I am excluding Pigasus VR as it’s commercial and Moon VR player for not supporting UPNP/DLNA (it uses it’s own app). Someone here (sorry, I've forgotten the name) has written an Android app that works beautifully and displays video and subtitles from the RS feed on our 'phones and tablets, maybe it could be ported to a Samsung app? Alternatively maybe there is a Samsung streaming app similar to the one Derrick referred to (just did a quick Google and DS Video looks as if might do it?).I tested these 3 free video players, this is my review: The same is true for Plex (when using it as a straight DNLA server), which is why we need the app - not just as a front end but to do things like displaying subtitles - so it must be a limitation of the DLNA client in the TV. It is disappointing that the TV can't display subtitles from the RS feed but it can't display them in recordings either. I hoped that there might be some way of integrating DVBv/RS into it and I did ask, but there doesn't seem to be a way at present. The server side takes a lot of setting up but it's worth it and once done it works very well. You'll find the Plex app in the app store on the TV. I guess uPnPProfilesV2.xml should support more customization.ĭLNA improvements - Subtitles, Movie Album Art, Search The problem affects shared movies with external subtitles and the tv channels shared with recording service.
