Up-vote by clicking “Like this” if you would like to see Google Daydream support in the mobile Plex app. Android first please. I watch Plex using synced content on my phone, and love the idea of strapping on the Daydream View headset to watch TV and movies in a virtual big screen mode without having to hold my devices.
iOS first please =P
EDIT: I hope you realise I’m kidding here. Please god, do not try and build Daydream iOS support and then scratch your head as to why there is no SDK… =)
I have pre-ordered the Google Pixel Phone and would love this feature added to Plex. Please add!
I’m absolutely not an Android fan at all, but I wholeheartedly support this. I would consider getting a VR ready device if I am sure to just be able to watch my Plex content laying in bed, chill as hell. That’s the dream.
Big +1, this is going to be a VERY welcome addition to all the new Pixel owners who will now have the Daydream for free.
Another request for Daydream VR support (I also used the Like button as requested)! As someone who struggles with insomnia, the idea that I could strap the Daydream on & watch Plex rather than keeping my spouse awake with the light of the TV is enormously appealing (even using headphones for sound, the TV throws a lot of changing light into the room!). Plex with Daybreak VR would be nothing short of brilliant! Netflix, YouTube, & HBO are already confirmed for the Daydream and adding Plex would be amazing. Personal media is clearly an initial push for the Daydream VR project.
Can’t wait to get my Daydream with the Pixel phone! This would be an awesome use for it!
My request here would be to be able to sync non-3D content and dynamically display it using the standard view or a SBS stereoscopic view (which, of course, would not be 3D but allow me to view privately via Cardboard/Daydream) without needing server interaction - so ideally a modification to the playback rather than using realtime transcoding server-side.
A great enhancement to this would be to be able to detect SBS 3D content and display just one side when not in a 3D viewer - with proper server-side support it would allow me to store a bunch of 3D content but be able to play it back on my device in 2D mode. Even better would be to accept other 3D encodings and display it as SBS or single image view.
A bogey would be to allow me to download both a 2D and 3D version of a movie (whether 3D is actual SBS 3D content or pseudo-3D content doesn’t matter) and then the player would allow me to select which I view. This would probably more than double the storage needed but push the feature to mostly server-side.
Not wanting anything spectacular, just the ability to watch things in a Daydream VR Plex app instead of using 3rd party apps and DLNA.
I have also pre-ordered the Pixel phone and would love Plex to be compatible with DayDream. Please make this happen.
Might I append a request, to allow synced output to multiple VR devices on the same network so my wife and I, both on our new pixel phones with daydream, could watch the same thing at the same time.
thumbs up for this request
please do this. i don’t really care about it being a 3d cinema or w/e. just make it so that you can navigate from video to video. a simple implementation would be fine.
Please make it happen.
I think resource are better used elsewhere at the moment this could be an hobby project for a plugin or so.
Please please please! It would be so awesome to do this anywhere on the fly. When I lived in dorms with no TV it was awesome to be able to lie down and watch movies on my phone with Google Cardboard–it would be amazing to be able to do this more seamlessly with PLEX!
Looking forward to seeing this too!
Yes please!!!
Daydream support would be a “dream” come true. Bad pun aside, being able to put a headset and watch tv in an immersive setting - wow. Maybe a fake live room. Ooh - maybe a tv experience on the beach. TV in space! All of those would be outstanding, but I would just take a clean interface and my content.
Just used the YouTube VR which was great. Would love similar UI for plex.
