[feature request] Add option to change projection for files

Open razfag opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Since DeoVR disabled the option to override the projection this feature becomes necessary for manually matched files or files that have been scraped incorrectly for whatever reason.

Requested additions

In scene details add a dropdown that can be used to change the file's projection. Add a list that lets users pick the projection during manual file matching. Add a column for scene projection in the to the file matching list

If your files are named correctly, you shouldn't have this issue (whether automatically or manually). However, even if you change projection in XBVR, DeoVR will not honor it (if you have already "watched" in wrong projection). You have to delete your DeoVR cached config.

Someone keep me honest about that..

HereSphere however will allow you to override in its interface.

Having to rename files would defeat the purpose imho. Not implementing this feature would also leave manual scene matching broken for files not using "standard" 180 sbs. Some times even original filenames won't help for instance early NA scenes use fisheye. (Automatic matching has been broken for those ever since NA started offering "remastered" scenes.) So in this sense this is needed for entirely "legitimate" reasons.

nothing we can do within DeoVR. Again.. DeoVR will not honor it (and again... somebody keep me honest on that "fact"). We do not have access to the api. The only thing you can do is delete your DeoVR cache OR... Switch to HereSphere.

That certainly seems frustrating but I don't see how this should prevent adding this functionality. First DeoVR isn't the only player taking filename projection hints, bugged behavior or not. So even if DeoVR is considered "deprecated" other players could still benefit from it. Second one possible workaround I can think of is simply serving DeoVR a new filename and or scene by adding a random string to it.
