Quest 2 with downloaded video and CMS script locally over SMB won't work

Hi. I am trying to get POVR videos with scripts playing, and so far, I figured out, that I can download both video and the script on my PC (.mp4 and .CMScript files) and stream over SMB. I renamed the files so that they would have the same name.

Now, when I connect to my Keon via HereSphere, and open the video, I see a message "Script found", but nothing is actually moving. I did try to connect to my Keon after starting the video, tried pause/play both the video and the script, but no luck.

Any idea how to get it working for POVR?

CMScripts don't actually have script data. It's just a token to use Command & Control's services. I think you'll need to use the Feel Connect app, but I'm not sure if they've added support for HereSphere with bluetooth devices. The Handy works, but that uses wifi instead of bluetooth (and the Feel Connect app isn't needed). Maybe ask in the POVR forums if they've added support for it.

I've got a reply from them:

"To do it with streaming in the API mode you'll need to first do the setup on computer to link the site to your device. You should be able to test there to make sure that movement commands are getting all the way to your Keon. With that working, you'll need to be logged in to the API mode (just in case you missed that, you have to log in through the HereSphere controls, if you're able to play full versions of scenes then you've got that part right). And finally, you'll have to make sure that you're playing scenes that are scripted. If you filter for "Tag: Interactive" then it should show the scenes that will work."

So I got the first part working, by linking it on my computer to FeelConnect app. But after I turn up my VR and open HereSphere, I need to connect directly to Keon from HereSphere, thus disconnecting it from FeelConnect app on my phone (and loosing the link in the process).

Am I missing something or is it just not going to work at this point?

You shouldn't connect the Keon to HereSphere. The FeelConnect app is responsible for controlling the device when using cmscripts or streamed scripts from povr.

Okey, I think it's an link issue.
I played around, and figured out that when linking the site to Keon, the link is unique per browser. So if I made a link on Chrome, everything worked while using Chrome, but after switching go Firefox, I would need to create the link again.

So I believe the same issue might be happening in HereSphere? As in, when switching to API Mode, a new link should be made again uniquely for that "browser", but there's no way to do that in the API Mode.

If that's not the case then I am lost

I think you should be linking using feelconnect not the browser.

To link using FeelConnect, you first need to open a browser (e.g. on computer) and go to POVR, and find the QR code. Then with FeelConnect on your phone, either scan a QR code as shown in the browser, or enter the code which sits below the QR code. That way you make a connection.

When using API Mode, there's no option to see the QR or get the number code.

HS just sends playback events to Connect & Control with your POVR username. It's up to Connect & Control to pass that along to the FeelConnect app, and have it control your device. If it's not working, POVR support forums or Connect & Control would be the best place to ask for help.
