Maybe I'm out of the loop but last I checked they disabled OTG storage on the OS years ago, update 20? 21? 25? Something like that. Someone asked John Carmack about it on Twitter and he said the drivers might've been stripped from the kernel to save space, said he might look into it, but has he? I haven't checked.

It was Fat32 only back then regardless and unless they're on Kernel 5.7+ I doubt they've went out of their way to add NTFS or exFat support; just get a Raspberry Pi 5 or something and host a Jellyfin or miniDLNA server or SMB or whatever.

As far as I know, out of the 4 big VR video players 2 already support external drives over the usb-c port. Supporting FAT32, NTFS and exFAT.

It would be kind of a game changer for me and everybody else who has to travel a lot.

I can see that 4XVR Video Player supports them. I own Heresphere, but now need to buy 4XVR because it makes no sense running a 1000w gaming PC just to stream a movie to my Quest3. Much rather be able to connect my SSD.
