A little guidance on default perspectives/default settings

Hello. I've read the user guide but I'm afraid I just don't understand something and was hoping to get some help making sense. 


What I'd like to do is set the default to open every video in fisheye (or the option right below it) but I can't figure out how. Right now, I set it to stereo fisheye and then the next video that plays defaults back to mono perspective view. 


I read about the shortcut layers and such, and I found the option to save a default in the settings and tell it I want to click the middle or up button, for example, to recall that saved layout. But when I click the thumbstick (quest 2 standalone app) it just loads the multiple video view. I'm obviously doing something wrong and I'm just not understanding how to save a layout (or whatever you call it) and how to recall it if it isn't designed to just load every time a video does. Looks like the center menu button is a -1 layer which I understood meant it worked no matter the modifier button but I'm just misunderstanding something.

You could add "_F180" or "_180F" to your filenames (you can use a space or hyphen instead of an underscore if you prefer) to make the player load stereo fisheye automatically. There are free bulk rename apps out there that can do this for multiple files at the same time.

For presets, first click on the global settings button, and then add a preset. Notice the 5 buttons on the right of the preset (a circular target button, and 4 arrow directions). Click the circular target button next to your preset so it's highlighted in purple. Now, hover over the global settings button and then click the thumbstick to quickly load your preset. You can also assign presets to thumbstick directions. Just click on the arrow with the direction you want to assign. When you hover over the global settings button, hold the side grip button, then move the thumbstick to the direction you assigned. It'll load that preset.

Thank you! That makes sense. I just didn't know you had to have the menu open to do it. 


Would the filename thing work for the other options where you choose fisheye? Like I set mine to equi something. I forget already what it's called. But it looks correct when I choose that over fisheye.  Anyway, could I do the file naming thing with an "E" instead of an "F" for fisheye or does that only work with fisheye?

Take a look at these update notes for the file naming suffixes: https://heresphere.itch.io/heresphere-vr-video-player-quest-2/devlog/397826/upda...

@HereSphere thank you so much for all of your help and support.
