Troubleshooting Sideloaded Media

In order to diagnose issues with sideloaded media in VR Cinema applications, we must know as much as we can about the media file the user is attempting to play. We can only provide support to users who can provide this information to us.


The easiest way to get information about your media file is to run it through the popular MediaInfo application. When emailing Littlstar, please export the information retrieved from this application and attach it to your message. See below for links to the application for your operating system.
