I've used Plex for years, so have been waiting for something like this. Wish it was in the Oculus store though. After a few glitches which were quickly resolved by the support team I can highly recommend this software, the environments are well designed and the interface works well, always nice holding your films even if they are only files. Looking forward to the tweaks in the update:)Thanks again to the Dev Alex and the team of coders for their help.. Overall, its a nice plex player for your VR headset, if you use plex, you might want to give it a shot. It seems to work well so far.. Update 01-24-18: The software has been abandoned now as the developer has been hired by the Plex team and focus has been shifted to developing a plex app for Google Day Dream. Do not buy this version of the software as it has a lot of issues. Unfortunately I didn't run into many of them until after I had made my initial review. I wasn't worried about it because the dev said that it was still being worked on so I just put it outside to wait for the future updates. It doesn't look like that will be happening now so don't waste your money on this. Real shame because it showed promise.Great starting point for what can become an excellent way to access your Plex library in VR. There are some issues with playback that have to be worked out but it is still a very promising piece of software and the communication that I had with the Dev concerning the issues I experienced was very encouraging. I can really sense that the Dev cared about the program and I have faith that it will be improved upon. He even offered to refund me my money through Paypal and let me keep the software if I didn't want to wait until the fixes are in place. I didn't want a refund but it was awesome that it was offered in that manner.The issue that I have is that on one of my computers a lot of movies won't play due to apparent transcoding/buffering issues. I have two computers setup and on the other computer the program worked great. The computer containing my plex server is the one having the trouble strangely enough.As I said it did work great on one of my computers which has an Oculus Rift connected to it. The image quality and playback smoothness was excellent on the movie that I watched. The inteface was fast and responsive. I did find that trying to fast forward in the movie lead to a buffering screen but that wasn't a big deal. I really like the selection method and think that the only thing it needs is a little better sorting so that items can be found even quicker when you have a really large library.I would recommend the software as it stands now as long as you are willing to deal with some of the current issues, especially at the low cost. If you would rather wait until things are sorted out more then definitely keep an eye out for the updates so that you know when to jump in. I'm sure I'll be getting plenty of use out of it until then.. Functional but needs a lot of work. The developer seems to be doing that work but this probably should have been labelled early access.. Along way to go but a great concept, this software is pretty fresh so I'll stick around for a bit while the kinks are ironed out. the library doesnt always load correctly, the interface of choosing a tvshow is pretty bad and is spilt up by episode not show, so you end up with a list 2 miles long(if you hoard shows like myself). Interface isnt very intuitive and sometimes ignores input (accidently touching something will reset your view in the section you are looking at causing you to have to pull through an entire long list again). The dev from what I've seen has been active in the community so I have hopes for where this product might go..

The program is not a new idea, except for the fact that it is made with Plex directly in mind. There are a few issues that can restrict what shows and plays on a particular server when Plex will work just fine on any other platform. Definitely a huge pain in the ***. Besides the inability to see all of the content, the simulation that you exist in is barebone. You can change to a couple locations or exist in a black world and you can alter the screen size and location. The enironments themselves feel very, very fake. Over a decade ago I was learning C++ and generated an entire prestine city out of code. It was beautiful, but too perfect and it looked.. well.. generated. That is the only way I can describe the aesthetics. As for controlling everything.. the author really felt touch was the way to go. Remember, this is a "I'm going to sit back in a Lazy Boy and watch a movie" program but for some reason a controller wasn't thought up. To add to the sitting down should be the focus problems, if you are sitting and line up the black "VR Lazy Boy" to your Lazy Boy perfectly you can accidently change the environment with your hands in a resting state on the arm rests. It was really, really annoying to try to figure what madness was happening the first time I wanted to watch something.On top of all of that no one has reviewed this game for well over a month, and the developer is nowhere to be seen. I would HIGHLY DISCOURAGE buying this title until some serious work is done. I got it for 20% off the $9.99 price and still asked for a refund.. Very nice media player. Controls are simple and easy to use. The only thing I am dissapointed about are the poor menus. In plex I have separate libraries for HD Movies, SD Movies and 3D movies. Plevr puts them all into the same one. And browsing TV shows is a nightmare because it gives you a list of every single episode. This program could be fantastic once they get the menus sorted out.
