Synchronization instructions:

- Synchronization is a feature that keeps a movie in sync between two devices. To enable sync, first set up the IP of the device you wish to sync with in Settings/General, where you can also find the IP of your own device. Do this on both phones so they have each others IP configured.

- Select a video to play. If it's a local video it must be present on both devices.

- In the VR UI, click the "sync" button on both devices to enable synchronization.

- On one of the devices, start the video by pressing the play button. After a small delay, the movie will start playing synchronized on both devices.

Seeking and network play is supported!

Feature suggestions and bug reports are always welcome!

Permission usage:

NFC, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE : Used by the Cardboard SDK to set up and save your headset configuration.

ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Used for finding the IP of your device and displaying it in the Sync settings, to help set up synchronized play with another device.

INTERNET, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Required for accessing media on the device and for streaming.

Note: The VIBRATE permission is not used and will be removed in the next release.

Excellent for viewing 2D and 3D video files. I trawled the store trying to find one that would let me watch 2D videos through my 3d goggles and also played sound on a particular file that several others weren't able to (they were just silent) - only VLC and VRTV played it successfully. Controls and settings all good and allows a plain black background, which is all I ever want as I find the environments distracting.

This is a flexible app that allows repositioning of camera for watching movies and screen locking. Opportunities for improvement: 1. It seems animated GIFs are not supported at least on Android 10. 2. From a usability perspective, when selecting screen, video type, and projection type before watching a video, it would be half the phone presses if all options were available on buttons instead of having to first press to open each dropdown menu.

I had been using the free version, and decided to "upgrade." While the lack of ads is nice, the almost constant crashing with certain videos is beyond aggravating. I notice there hasnt been an updaye in some time. PLEASE release a stability fix as this is currently the most crash prone media app Ive ever used (and Im including the windows 3.1 and 95 days in that roundup)
