Help, I think I screw up the Heresphere on my Quest 2

Testing if it was possible to use a Bluetooth joystick to control the player, since my joysticks suffer from severe drift, I ended up accidentally changing the Keybinds configuration, I don't know how, I took the ok option of the trigger, this broke the usability of the player for me, since I couldn't give ok in any option, I remembered that I had read in the warning that I could delete an internal file or folder to reverse this situation, but I didn't remember which one, so using the ES File Explorer I deleted the Heresphere folder inside UE4Game and the Heresphere folders from the Android/Data folder, then I uninstalled and reinstalled the player, it solved the keybinds problem and I was finally able to use normally again, the problem is that the player now always chrash when load the XBVR URL page, when click on the button to load the Webstream API, when it starts to assemble the thumbnails of the videos the program closes, I already uninstalled and reinstalled the player, bu t the problem persists.


Trying to understand what happened, I noticed that Herepshere did not create the Heresphere folder inside UE4Game, as it had before, could it be that having deleted the folder with the ES File Explorer messed up Android's permissions and that's why Heresphere can't create the folder where it saves as thumbnails and thats why the player crashes and closes? Is there a way to fix this problem without having to factory reset the Oculus Quest?


Thank you

Uninstalling the app should fully reset the app to default. HereSphere used to create a UE4Game folder directly in the Quest2 internal storage folder, but since v0.2, it has been moved inside the Android/Data folder due to changes to the file system for Android 10. I'm kind of stumped as to what's causing the crash.

1. Can you check if local videos on the headset can be played?

2. Can you click on the text that says "Media Library" on the left side panel, and then see if the xbvr media source exists, and delete it if it does?

3. Do you have any HSP files associated with videos in XBVR? It might be that those files are causing HereSphere to crash. Try removing them.

4. Can you try changing the XBVR port number to force HereSphere to use a different media source name for XBVR? Maybe the old xbvr data is still there, and it's trying to read it.

Sorry about the issues. I should probably have prevented the app from allowing all the motion controller click keybindings from being deleted. Also, are you using the latest version of HereSphere, like v0.7.1? Maybe try rolling back to v0.7, in case it has to do with the update.

Thank you very much, I did the number 2 and it solved the problem, the thumbnails and XBVR videos worked perfectly again, I was already using version 0.7.1 and the local videos were working perfectly, once again thank you for being so prompt and solve my problem.
