Issue with Skybox VR

Help and Support
1

Hi

I am using rclone on windows. I mounted encrypted google drive and it works without problem with windows file explorer. I can see all files and play video file with VLC.

.\rclone.exe mount --allow-other --log-level DEBUG cryptcloudone: N:

recently I bought a VR device and I want to watch my videos with Skybox VR app (https://skybox.xyz/en/). Skybox server on my windows see the folders and file in rclone drive but can not play the file but it plays same file from my windows local driver. I didn't find any solution.

What happens when you try to play the file?

Are there any error messages in the rclone log?

No there is no error in rclone log

Also Skybox VR can play files that mounted by the RaiDrive application. but problem is my file encrypted so the RaiDrive is useless here.

this is the log files from the Skybox

You need to include a full log to see what's happening.

I don't know how to attach the full log file and the site does not let me post the log because of character limit so i put them here

Rclone log https://jpst.it/1Zeab
SkyBox VR log https://jpst.it/1ZeaN

Nothing , when Skybox server finish the processing It does not show any file in VR App but when I open the VR app before server processing the files i got invalid file message.

The problem would be the player/client/Skybox is opening and closing the file repeatedly to play it so you are seeing the inherent latency of cloud storage and repeatedly opening and closing of files.

You could try the cache backend as that stores chunks locally as that may help:

https://rclone.org/cache/

Or find a player that works better with cloud storage.

Thanks for your advise ! it works.
