Troubleshooting 4K VR Video Playback Issues: A Quarantine Dilemma

During my recent quarantine, I decided to delve into some research by downloading 4K VR videos from Pornhub Premium. I was excited to explore their library, which offers high-quality content for premium users. However, I quickly encountered a frustrating issue: the videos refuse to play properly.

After subscribing to Pornhub Premium, I downloaded several 4K VR videos, each over 1GB in size. While I can hear audio when attempting to play them on my PC, the video displays merely a blank screen, often accompanied by a distorted green line at the top. Occasionally, the entire display turns green, and the player experiences frequent freezing. I tested both VLC Media Player and MPC-HC, but it seems I may have received corrupted files.

My original intention was to view these videos using the Mobile VR Station app in my mobile VR headset, but that approach didn’t yield results either, as the app displayed a “Cannot decode” error.

I am reaching out to the community in hopes that someone can offer assistance with this predicament.

Note: I have successfully played VR videos from both Pornhub and other sources in the past without issues.

Update:
After further investigation, it appears the problem may lie specifically with the Mobile VR Station app on iOS; the videos function well on my Windows machine using the default media player and VLC when hardware encoding is disabled. Now, my goal is to find a more reliable mobile application capable of playing these videos seamlessly.

Additional Update:
I recently tried out the SKYBOX VR Video Player for iOS, which seems promising as it can actually play the videos. However, I am still facing challenges, as the playback consists of only audio and a black screen.

If anyone has recommendations for a compatible mobile VR player or additional troubleshooting tips, I would greatly appreciate your insights! Your help would make a significant difference in enhancing my VR experience during this quarantine!
