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).
Am I stupid? I for the life of me cannot find where to get any of the apps? Oculus app? MilkVR? Where do I get them??
I'm in Canada and because Samsung is a bi**h they still don't provide any here. I want to try and watch VR videos and such with the Google Carboard that I have but for the life of me don't understand why it's so difficult! I have an s5, cardboard and some mp4 videos that are top/bottom for whatever reason. I'm assuming that the app flips them somehow? Otherwise, how are you supposed to watch? I'm very confused here, please help!
You can't get the Gear VR apps without the Gear VR. They won't work even if you could load them without the Gear VR.
Look for an app called "cardboard theatre" it will let you play those over under files.

Thanks! I found VR Player and that works great!
When I plug S7 Edge into Gear VR the Oculus aplication starts automaticly. How can I launch other VR apps from PlayStore like Vrse, Insidious VR, FullDive, Google Cardboard?
Just buy package disabler pro from play store. U can disable gear vr service with it without root. Tested 100%.

Yep:
- Go to Google Play Store and download "Quick Shortcut Maker".
- Launch "VRSetupWizardStub" from the "Quick Shortcut Maker" app.
- Launch the Oculus app and login with your Oculus account.

In SideloadVR (download from Google Play) store you can download some Gear VR apps and Play it on other VR device
If you want to play Cardboard apps on Gear VR, download [Play Cardboard apps on Gear VR] on Google Play
Hope this help
