✨ What's new

  • 🕶️ 3D side-by-side videos: some 3D videos reach your browser with both eyes in one frame. Pick 180° 3D side by side (VR180) or Cinema 3D side by side (regular 3D videos on the cinema screen) in the Format menu, and each eye gets its own half, in real 3D. The glass panels and the screen's glow follow each eye too. Thanks to @damics80 for asking for it and u/TehSuperFruitSnack for spotting the VR180 ones!

  • 💎 YouTube Premium in VR:

    • 1080p Premium (the enhanced bitrate) in the Quality menu.
    • Jump ahead at the end of the seek bar whenever YouTube offers it, taking you to the part most viewers skip to.

    Both are marked with the Diamond.

  • 👥 Your channels: You → Channels lists the channels you subscribe to. Sort them your way (Most relevant, New activity, A-Z) and click one to open it in the Channel panel. Channels you're a member of are flagged.

  • 🔔 The notification bell: on a channel you subscribe to, choose All, Personalized or None right from the Channel panel.

  • 🎚️ A tidier Format menu: every format with its own icon (2D, 3D, 360°, cubemap, 180°, 180° 3D), and the Format button shows the one you picked.

🩹 Fixes

  • Videos open from the Channel panel and History even when VR started on a channel page.
  • Floating menus no longer cover the pointing ring of the row next to the selected one.
  • The Channels list loads all the way down.

🗺️ Roadmap

Next up: Add to queue, Explore's "Coming Soon" tabs and commenting in VR, then the Chrome Web Store release as StreamXR 1.0. After that: Twitch, Jellyfin and Plex, music streaming, and an experimental mode for videos on any site. The full roadmap is in the README.

⬆️ Updating

Download the source code below and replace your StreamXR folder, then go to chrome://extensions and click Reload on StreamXR. Reload your YouTube tab too, since an open tab keeps running the old version. Your settings are kept. The optional Skip Helper hasn't changed.
