Support VR videos

[JulianGro]

Are there any plans to support VR video at some point? Stuff like 180° side-by-side 3D content.
Or does this already support them, and the features list just doesn't reflect that?

This is a simple video player / image viewer for virtual reality bult with Godot.
VR modes are flat screen (with zoom) , 180°, and 360° (equirectangular or equi-angular cubemap).

It is supported - can you please point out if this is not clear from the README.md extracts quoted above?

It would be more clear if it mentioned that it supported 3D video, maybe even stating which modes specifically are supported (side-by-side, top-bottom; fisheye).
To me, the description makes it sound like it can only play flat video, flat (non-3D) 180° and flat 360° footage. It might be obvious to some people that a "vr media player" would play proper VR content, but unfortunately there are plenty of VR media players that can actually only play 2D content.

Here a specific suggestion:

VR modes are flat screen (with zoom) , 180°, and 360° (equirectangular or equi-angular cubemap), all of which work with 3D content (SBS or top-bottom).

Ah okay thanks for the information, I only found this package yesterday and am not aware of the different types of content. I can only confirm 2D works as I only have 2D content. I take back my comment about it being supported as I'm not sure about 3D.

A quick search shows that FFmpeg supports it but whether the plugin does is another question. I also recommend you just set it up, try out your 3D content, and let us know how it goes. This is not something I've touched before and I got it set up pretty quick.

Currently supported formats are:
Flat (optional side-by-side 3D, or 3D images in .mpo format)
180° (optional side-by-side 3D)
360° (optional top-bottom 3D)
360° equi-angular projection (flat & 3D youtube uses this)
There's a button to switch left&right eyes too.
