Hi friends,
We are SKYBOX STUDIO. Some of you might be familiar with our product: SKYBOX VR VIDEO PLAYER
First we want to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation for all of your support and patience in 2018.
Thanks to our beta testers, the latest releases of SKYBOX are stable and with good performance.
Right now, we are developing the v0.2.2 and plan to release it officially in late January. Since our user base is growing, we are looking for more beta testers with Oculus Go / Gear VR.
In v0.2.2, we will introduce the Global Setting and make it more comfortable for you to watch videos while lying down.
Here are the features we want to test in v0.2.2:
[Feature] Global Setting
- Language (de/en/es/fr/ja-JP/ko-KR/ru/zh-CN/zh-TW)
- Clear history cache
- Adjust fast forward/backward interval
- Allow 3-rd party application to set SKYBOX as default player (only available on Gear VR)
- AirScreen Auto Connect
- Display time & battery info on the play panel
- Change to 60Hz refresh rate when playback videos (only available on Oculus Go)
[Feature] Support swipe up/down on controller to adjust distance in 180/360 videos
[Feature] Scrollbar
[Feature] Refresh button on local directory and AirScreen
[Feature] Click to switch between full length info and remaining length info (on the right of the play panel)
[Feature] Add filename recognition for Youtube 360 #EAC360 and Youtube 180 #F180#VR180
[Feature] Add video frame rate info when fast click "CHANNELS" for five times
[Optimization] Screen follow slowly when using "Lock Screen"
[Optimization] "Click here to reset view" to pan the screen left/right
If you signed up for the previous round, you do not have to sign up again. Simply update your SKYBOX from the Oculus Store after the Beta Release.
If you are interested in becoming a beta tester, please send your Oculus registered email to us at support@skybox.xyz with a title BETA TEST & Oculus Go / Gear VR.
If you no longer wish to be a beta tester, email us at support@skybox.xyz and we will remove you from the beta tester list right away.
To be a beta tester can be rough sometimes because the new features or upgrade could influence you negatively depending on your own usage patterns. So please don't get too mad and just talk to me 🙂 I'm sure we will solve it for you very quickly.
For Language Volunteers, we desperately need a hand for checking our Google-translated wording in French/Japanese/Korean/German/Russian/Spanish/Traditional Chinese.
If you are interested, please send us an email with a title Language Help at support@skybox.xyz indicating your language specialty and we will send more infos to you.
We thank you for your support and MOST IMPORTANTLY, we hope you have fun and enjoy SKYBOX 😛
Cheers,
SKYBOX STUDIO

I believe once accepted to the beta it should appear in the App Store app at the very bottom, under My Preview Apps

I have tried your player only for a few minutes or so (for now), but i have found the playback has slight stutter/judder to it when playing 60fps videos (like all the other players really, except Oculus Gallery). Could it be that this is the thing of a 72hz mode? Oculus Gallery still plays 60fps videos @ 60hz, could this perfect lineup be the reason for a super smooth stutter-free playback, when compared to the other players? Or is there something else to it that could be fixable?

Sybox Jupiter environment make my go very HOT to the touch!!! I really like the space, but I am wary of using it out of fear of causing damage to my Go. Would be great if space could be optimized so that the Go doesn't run that hot
