I have the files loaded on the site in a library. I can see my media server but there isn't an SMB version of it and when I click videos it says I have none. Does it have to be a certain file type? The media seems to play fine in the Plex web browser.
i use virtual desktop every day on my oculus go. i used to spend most of my time in the oculus browser but i use virtual desktop instead now. i really love the dark theatre environment.
Another great video. I really like your style of presenting this material. Very straightforward and understandable. Keep up the good work and thanks for all you do for us.
How do I get my purchased digital movies onto my pc or android sd card for streaming to something like Skybox VR? I've tried downloading from Movies Anywhere, Vudu, Prime Video, etc... but none of them are visible in a folder. I'm using Media Server to connect my phone to the Oculus Go and can see my file folders but no movies. Thanks!
Many thanks for this easy video can't believe I'm watching movies in a virtual cinema since the old days of the Vic 20 gaming has come on imencely thanks again. Subscribed and big salute and thumbs up for all your dedication uploading
If you have VD - can you browse netflix and other sites from the Go? or do you have to do it from your computer and it just streams the image to your Go?
I play PLEX (which I've had about as long as PLEX has been around) on my Win 10 screen and then pipe it through BigScreen into my Quest 2. It actually works just fine but there are too many steps involved in getting into PLEX; I'd rather have a dedicated PLEX VR app that would work in Quest. But the PLEX system is great (except for support) and nicely integrated. I can view my stuff on all my devices: Mac, Win 10, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone XR...and now (with some non-userfriendly difficulty) on my Quest 2 via BigScreen.
Ty, great video! You deserve more followers. By the way, with the latest os from Oculus, you can browse through your pictures as well via the plex server. With gallery. But as you mentioned the skybox player does movies at its best!
Fantastic Tutorial. Your spot on. Thanks very much for a great well presentation full of great advice. I love tech. 62 years old this year and like a young Gazelle. Lol. Thanks.
I see one of the comments says there's no Virtual Desktop for Mac. Any news on when this might be available? Will Plex work for Mac? Thanks - great video.
Thanks. Plex will work on Mac. Think the dev that does Virtual Desktop is finishing it for the Oculus Quest, once that's done we'll see Mac support come soon.
@@tycotech Noticed some of the older B&W movies on TH-cam are so out of focus, they're unwatchable. Hopefully, the Virtual Desktop system will take care of this. Thanks for the response.
is there any way to stream movie from my iTunes library to the quest? I tried this method but it says the movies aren't in the folders and there's nothing in the library on Plex
you alright mate, hope you had a good christmas, the plex server isnt showing up in skybox and im not sure why, all i see is my server from my pc (smb) that i used before i installed plex. thanks in advance
Hmm, try checking in the plex settings the dlna server is on (although I believe it's on by default). Otherwise try stopping and restarting the plex server and then give it a few minutes. let me know if this helped.
When I open the plex media server I don't see the libraries or manage options on left side of the screen. So I can't figure out how to add media! I am logged in. please help, thanks
also I cant find the network on my oculus, when im on the sky box app on my oculus it says no local media servers are found. I would love to get this working and I have had this oculus for a year with no luck. I will pay someone to do this honestly at this point lol
It does not work. First of all my oculus quest see the sever plex as a different name. i have called my sever as name-PC-Plex but the quest see it as name-PC, then it does not find any film...
If you have windows 10 you can turn on its hotspot function and connect that way (the PC does have to have an internet connection of some sort for the hotspot function to work though).
You can also use Steam and Bigscreen and stream your desktop to a huge theater screen in Bigscreen for free and it's awesome! :) then you can even have others join you and watch with you!
🌤Hey Sunshine, the Wiz Guy in Technology the Man who has the answers to your questions thanks Ty an from my family to yours Merry Christmas!!! Enjoy peace an happiness while manifesting the light an love of life...
Skybox is scamming hardcore. The purchase doesnt transfer from Gear/Go to Quest even though everything implies that it does including their own website.
i am 45 have played since c64 thousands of games never paid for a thing professional pirate here this does not work for pirated software/movies this will get you meta account bnanned if you use copied/pirated movies
If you have any questions please ask in the comments below! Thumbs up and subs are always appreciated!!!! Happy holiday everyone!!!

Hmm, check in your plex settings that the dlna media server is ticked on. Lemme know if that helps.
Any updates on 3D movie support for Virtual Desktop?
@@TheNexusLord it's live! Can totally stream 3D from your desktop to the Go!
@@tycotech Awesome news, thanks for the info! :0)
Great explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of both choices! Subbed!

Merry Christmas! Just got one for Xmas and finding your videos very helpful. Thanks.
Thanks! I glad to help!

is it possible to see my computer screen on oculus quest 2
if i move the camera in my computer it should change in quest 2

Hi! Can I use Plex to stream from Stremio and get 2 Oculus GO to watch a movie in sync with Skybox?
Tyco - Will virtual Desktop support viewing of Word Docs and PPT's?
I tried sideloaded the Plex VR app from the Gear VR to the Quest and it didn't work... :( I love the app on the Go!

You sure can, works great! Be sure to use Chrome or Firefox as some other browsers can cause issues with DRM.
@@tycotech Thank you for the quick reply! Watching your videos help me decide to get one. Can't wait!
Tyco Tech can I use the virtual computer coz I have the MacBook laptop
How do you fit all that content on 64 gb memory?
I play PLEX (which I've had about as long as PLEX has been around) on my Win 10 screen and then pipe it through BigScreen into my Quest 2.

Do I need internet or I can use only pc+router+oculus go ?
Love your tutorials short and sweet!
Thanks!
any way to stream using a computer with window 7?
Plex media server should run on windows 7 fine!
Ty, great video! You deserve more followers. By the way, with the latest os from Oculus, you can browse through your pictures as well via the plex server. With gallery. But as you mentioned the skybox player does movies at its best!
+Sjaak Schulteis Thanks, I appreciate that. You can also use oculus gallery for pics, that works well too.
Hey thanks a lot. I have installed Virtual Desktop !! By any chance, do you know how to do the same, but from a computer to another ?? :)
You can also set up file sharing in Windows. Go to "Network" in Skybox and access your shared folders. I stream 3D video with no problem this way.
Fantastic Tutorial. Your spot on. Thanks very much for a great well presentation full of great advice. I love tech. 62 years old this year and like a young Gazelle. Lol. Thanks.
WhatsApp minimum specs I need on pc ? I want to build an cheap pc,only to stream. Could work on Linux?

Hey @Tyco Tech, Great video. Do you know if with Plex or any other free app y can stream
simultaneously to like 10 Oculus Go?
is there any way to stream movie from my iTunes library to the quest? I tried this method but it says the movies aren't in the folders and there's nothing in the library on Plex
This works for the Quest too: th-cam.com/video/Iwk8-G1q1dY/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant great presentation
I wish they made it capable of streaming with the Oculus link cable connected to the PC. Wireless mode will only last about 2 hours with the battery.
Great video tutorial. Really informative. Great stuff
Really great informative video. Thanks for Sharing !!
Merry Christmas. I use virtual desktop. But it's not sbs
Not yet but that feature is coming soon
can't you just allow media streaming with windows?
You can, but I find plex works a zillion times better and is easier to manage.

Go over WiFi out side of home WiFi, how it works off your home WiFi if your traveling ect
If you have windows 10 you can turn on its hotspot function and connect that way (the PC does have to have an internet connection of some sort for the hotspot function to work though).
Great video!!!i subbed too!!!
Using DLNA is much easier, it is built-in in win10 for example already
You can also use Steam and Bigscreen and stream your desktop to a huge theater screen in Bigscreen for free and it's awesome! :) then you can even have others join you and watch with you!
I've never been able to get Bigscreen to work right, it's super buggy...
@@tycotech Have you tried it now since the new 2019 update? It's completely rewritten. Works great for me so far
I have. Can't get 3D movies to play.
Great video, thank you
Skybox vr is not free anymore cost $10
I wish my computer met the minimum requirements to run Virtual Desktop

Skybox is scamming hardcore. The purchase doesnt transfer from Gear/Go to Quest even though everything implies that it does including their own website.
None of your videos have worked for me
I'm sorry about that. They seem to work for most people. Is there anything in particular I can help you with?
skybox does not stream all my videos, or even see them, is it the video format? NO!! they are all the same format, so skybox sucks
i am 45 have played since c64 thousands of games never paid for a thing professional pirate here this does not work for pirated software/movies this will get you meta account bnanned if you use copied/pirated movies
