Update for Beta Branch 9/2/2024 — HereSphere VR Video Player News

HereSphere update v0.11.2 is now available on the Steam beta branch. This update adds the option to provide script tokens with the HereSphere web API, adds some quality of life features, and fixes some bugs.

Script Tokens:

Added a "handyTokenUrl" field to the HereSphere web API when requesting video json data. This field should contain a url that will receive a HTTP POST message that contains a "connectionKey" field in a json body, and should respond with a "scriptUrl" field that contains a script download link with a Handy script token.

Quality of Life Improvements:

Added a "Full side-by-side" stereoscopic setting and corresponding filename detection (such as "_LRF" or "_SBSF"). This stereoscopic mode will halve the aspect ratio, so it won't be stretched horizontally.
Added support for ".f4v" (flash video) files when using DirectShow.
Increased subtitle rendering area for VR videos to show more subtitle lines and prevent subtitles from getting cut off.

Bug fixes:

Fixed issue with timestamp server not initializing properly when switching profiles.
Fixed issue with Handy connection keys with 12 character lengths not working.
