Hi
I have an external digital camera, that can stream videa ( realtime ) via wifi direct.
My purpose is to attach the cam to an RC-quadcopter, and have the view streamed to the phone ( note 4)
Is it possible to get the Gear VR to recieve an Wifi direct video stream ? ( real time )
BR Mathias
Lo mate,
Afaik there is no "instant" solution to do it but here i found some info concerning it:
Google Cardboard + 3D FPV
or maybe this (cardboard app) could help:
FPV FOR PARROT DRONES
have fun and i hope it helps

Hello,
Here a little guide to stream Skype on TV with Chromecast.
With Chromecast + Android,
we can make video call on TV with Skype.
The idea is to cast screen from Android to Chromecast / TV, then run Skype.
Cast screen and mirroring is the same.
Required :
- TV + Chromecast
- Android 4.4
- Chromecast app
- Skype (official version or fixed version here)
- MirrorEnabler here need ROOT if your device is not officially supported to Cast Screen with Chromecast
If the last version of Skype don’t work on your device, then install this fixed version : here.
MirrorEnabler enable mirroring from any device. Mirroring (cast screen) is the third functionality of Chromecast, which allow to duplicate your Android screen in real time to TV.
- Install Skype (I recommend the fixed version above).
- Install Chromecast on TV.
- Install MirrorEnabler (only if your device is not officially supported to Cast Screen). Enable its functions, reboot.
- Cast screen to Chromecast / TV from Chromecast app.
- Run Skype.
- Voilà !
May I be the first to say Thanks Dude ???

Hi, did you find a way to stream the audio as well?
I'm looking for a way to fix this for so long..
Thanks in advance
Wow nice, actually i'm using my chromecast with popcorntime... Will give a shoot to this, but it's the audio working or not?
I havent tried skype but everything else I've tried has the audio go through the tv, my device is officially supported if that makes a difference.

I got movies purchased from Google play, can I view them through the gear vr? Is the YouTube app available also on the gear vr?
Lol im pretty sure people owning the VR have seen this thread, funny no one has dared to answer a simple question. Weak community.
no
the cinema app can play local mp4 files though.
Well at least you took the time to reply, I appreciate it. I have heard that mp4s can be played but the thing is that all my movies are purchased from the Google play store and the format is very weird
No youtube app for gear vr but there is youtube in google carboard app. you can also use little walk around. Use tubemate to download any youtube video straight to phone and play it using oculus cinema app in gear vr.

Sadly it appears Oculus/Samsung appear to be gating any app that can do web browsing / stream since they want to control the content (to some extent). Most consumers will not transfer movies for playback and will simply use the streaming function of the Oculus apps. Again I hope I am wrong, but their IMO lame excuse for no web browser (it would require full Oculus integration) as example is false. Homido has a very good web browser that streams content from any web source and works great with the iPhone- ironic. Homido did say they were working on an Android Cardboard version, but can not for Oculus.
The stock 2D web browser using voice and the touch pad for mouse function would allow any streaming content from the web a consumer wants. This is something that Oculus appears to not want, but ironically works great on the iPhone. for streaming. Fulldive has a Cardboard browser, but the streaming is audio with a black screen.
The latest version from YouTube app support cardboard (v10.21), u may not have it yet but you can download it from apkmirror

It is not integrated though, so have to remove the phone, pick a vid, place phone back in VR unit and place the set back on. That seems a pain in a$$ to me. Not so bad for a 90 minute movie if having to, but
a true pain for short vids like Youtube. The app only works with 360 vids and not 2D.
Cmoar Cinema Pro has Youtube, but no account access.
Idk for the lack of ability for me to play the Google play movies I won't buy this product. Saw alot of potential but didn't really got my attention. I bought me a 60 inch led Sony TV instead with roku loaded ?
also been wanting one. i heard in a thread that there was this widget that allowed you to play cardboard apps on the phone with gear VR.
we need to break this format. this is rediculous. we should be able to watch any of our content on this device with NO problem. I dont understand why this device does not perfrom as advertised. Someone smart needs to hack this **** and let us all download it.
There is a way to run Youtube app on Gear VR
You need install a tool on Google Play, it named "Play Cardboard apps on Gear VR" (of [KunKunSoft]), run this tool and switch to "Cardboard mode"
After that, Install "Cardboard" (of [Google Inc]) app on Google Play, run "Cardboard" app and you will see "360 Video Chanel" app, it is "Youtube VR", run it and enjoy!
Hope this can help!
if u want to stream movies in vr just use HD movies app download it for free and move it to sd card and hit the vr video
or use the samsung gallery on vr if ur lazy to transfer to sd card downloaded videos
Samsung Internet is your best bet.. Works great for me.. https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/2015/12/02/Samsung-Launches-Optimized-Web-Browser-for-Gear-VR
NOMone VR Browser
I don't know about movies downloaded from Google Play, but in NOMone VR Browser you can watch youtube without any problems (not 360 degree, though). You can use it with a keyboard and a mouse or using earphones. To have the best experience:
- Check "Request desktop site".
- Goto the youtube video you want to watch.
- From the options at the bottom-right corner of the viewer, choose "Theater mode". Now press fullscreen.
I'm one of the developers of this app by the way. The application still has a long way to go, but we intend to achieve a 100% integrated solution by version 1.0 if Allah wills. If you have any comments of feature requests, don't hesitate to reach out for us. But we don't check xda very frequently. On the other hand, we are very active on our facebook page (nomonesoftware).
simple way to stream LAN video to Gear VR ?
been googling around a little bit , but it seems to complicated and needs "milklauncher" or something called that which i don't have in my region of play store , through i found it in apkmirror but seems didn't work out for me.
is there any windows application that turn my PC into video server and gear vr can navigate into it and playing video that stored in it, just like Youtube
look up "Pigasus" you can get oculus key to download his unofficial software via oculus store. best by far solution i've found and simple but very user friendly interface too. Picks up on any DLNA servers broadcasting on your network.
Hello.
It is on the forum in many threads. I am spaming it all the time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mobile-vr/gear-vr/stream-videos-direct-to-milkvr-t3297612
Just follow this tread and you will get best option to watch movies via lan.
It's no longer working. Samsung VR aka MilkVR will no longer play links from a network resource.
So, the 2016 GearVR (black one) supposedly supports OTG storage through its external USB Type-C port.
But I guess it was only possible when using the now terminated Note 7.
When I try using a USB drive through said port using my Note 5, there's no sign of it in the Gear VR video players or even the Samsung Gear image gallery.
So is it possible for a ROM to achieve this? OTG through GearVR 2016 port?
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
I have not been able to access anything o the MicroUSB port myself. Not sure if your purpose is to store big 3D movies, but what I do is have a SMB / FTP NAS(Asus router) and use file manager to access the videos on network.

Precisely. But how does this solution work? Can Moon Player access the movies seamlessly? Does the Network Drive show up as a storage drive?

After a lot of researching.. I finally found a solution that worked for me.
First I use ;
[Cardboard for Gear VR] to disable GearVR services from running. There are other apps that can stop the service from starting- making GearVR act like a Google Cardboard
then I use [AiCloud] from ASUS - I have an Asus router. This allows me to access my USB drive plugged into Router securely. There are other apps that can do this. Even if you do a share from PC on the network. That is a different discussion and you can find it easily online.
I brows my files on the NAS and click it using AiCloud. It asks what player I want to use, I use [VRTV] (The best looking one for watching videos on GearVR . You can name you files with key words to launch it in a specific format, so you don't have to select it everytime in 2D mode.
I use a bluetooth game controller Moga. I reassigned the buttons to exit, back button, play , go forward , etc..
Now I kick back and can back out to AiCloud when done , WITH GEARVR ON , close right eye and select another movie with controller.
