I tried the demo of HereSphere and when I want to stream a file from a download link from Alldebrid.com only .mp4 files work and .m4v, .mov and .mkv fail eventhough they are all in the x264 codec. If I download the files to my Quest 2 they seem to play fine in HereSphere. Is this by design? or a limitation of the demo?

Right now, the player only looks for mp4, webm, or m3u8 extensions. I'll test if m4v and mov are streamable containers. I don't think mkv is a streamable container.

Doesn't it depend on the type of codec the video file inside the MKV is using? I am able to stream MKV from a download link in DeoVR on my Quest 2 with random access, of course audio is still a problem if it is in AC3 or DTS.

Here are some internet archive video files that I can stream from download links on DeoVR but not HereSphere:

m4v: https://archive.org/download/homealone-opening-closing-vhs/02%20-%20Home%20Alone..

mov: https://archive.org/download/NASA_Launchpad_Biofeedback_HD/NASA_Launchpad_Biofee...

mkv: https://archive.org/download/411vm-issue-10-1995-vhs-deinterlaced-mkv-file/411VM...
