I'm having an issue when I do the "Paste URL". It says "Failed to download video: Error: Unable to download webpage..." I have the 1.3 runtime with my DK2 installed. I can do everything else with it, but not watch 3D videos from youtube. Can you help 

I'm having exactly the same issue. I have Ocusus runtime 1.3.1 and Virtual Desktop 1.0.1. Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

Anyone knows why the steam version won't start at all? I have tried everything, but noting works...

Thanks for Virtual Desktop, it is a must-buy

Virtual Desktop seems to work perfectly for everything except the 360 videos, for me. I've tried opening a local video, as well as pasting a youtube URL, both result in the same thing: The video starts "playing" (The background changes from nebula to black, and I see the thumb moving along the bottom of the screen), and I can hear the audio, but there is no video -- it just stays black.

I'm using a DK2 in Win10 with Runtime 1.3 -- any thoughts?

Hello, before buying Virtual Desktop, i have one question : is the player can play 360 videos with external subtitles (in srt). i'm using a DK2 in Win10 with Runtime 0.8. Thanks at advance.

There is no subtitle support for the integrated video player at the moment.

bought VD 1.0.5 today on Steam. Using the Oculus Rift DK2 with the Runtime 1.5.0.240083 on Windows 10.

The Headset works with the Oculus Home but when i start the Virtual desktop App it says:

Virtual Desktop does not support you current aktive Headset. (tell me in German)

Any Advice?

Did you allow non-Home apps in Oculus Home settings?

Works fine whit me. I think that you don't have right codec in your system. Try to download and installa k-lite codec pack full. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/audio_video/codecs/k-lite_codec_pack_full.cfm

Wow this is cool, I like it.  I still have to get used to a headset.  I don't think it's comfortable to use for long periods of time because I work for hours on desktop, but I support the author of this package.  Perhaps Headsets will get much better in the future and the resolution will be improved a lot.  I can use Solidworks and Photoshop with this which is cool, but it's not clear enough resolution to see fine details.  This program is awesome for netflix, youtube and other videos.

Argh! They've stopped me using Virtual Desktop on Home! I uninstalled it from steam, because it was giving me problems if I tried a game with it and then went back to trying without it (in Steam's own Virtual Theatre) - such as 7 Days To Die and Empyrion.

So I used the key for VD on Oculus Home and was happy - was just about to try TriDef for Far Cry 3 and find that Home won't even list VD in my library any more - "Unsupported".  Blood and stomach pills!

I take it that's because I didn't cave to M$ and get Win 10. So why not let me choose if I want to run the bugger instead of just shutting me out? FFS, don't become what M$ have turned into, Oculus!

Can someone tell me how to add Environments to the mix when you bought it on oculus and not steam which has steam workshop?
