Hi there, great work on this player, I don't regret my purchase!

Using XBVR, I have many 'CustomVR' videos that are not scrapeable, so I rely on video previews to ascertain the video I'm looking for. Unfortunately, whilst hovering over them in DeoVR displays the previews, I cannot seem to get this function to work in Heresphere, and the boxes remain black. I have tried toggling off and on the Video Preview button in Heresphere but to no avail. Please let me know if there is anything I may be missing.

Thanks!

I think you can create your own custom scene in XBVR and provide your own thumbnails. HereSphere needs XBVR to provide the image and video preview for it to show in the web view.

Yes that is correct but whilst XBVR has generated video previews and they are displaying in DeoVR (via XBVR api), for some reason they do not display when using Heresphere (via XBVR api) - so this doesn't seem to be an XBVR issue.

Any ideas of something I could do in Heresphere to rectify this?

Not sure, most likely is something the xbvr devs have to fix. HereSphere just displays the info that xbvr provides, so if they're not providing video previews with the HereSphere web API, then HereSphere can't display it. Maybe they're doing something different with the DeoVR API.
