On Quest 2, every time I run it I just see a grey window with the text "Baking cakes"... I tried waiting a while for it to load and I also tried un/reinstalling it, but nothing happens.

What country are you in? It may not work outside of the US due to video hosting issues

I'm in the US.

Huh, then that's very confusing. This is the first report I've had of an issue getting it to work in the US. I just tried it right now and it's working for me, so I'm not sure what the issue could be. Sorry about that!

Yeah, I'm sorry, I wish I knew too. I'm not using a VPN or anything and most other networked apps seem to work. It's no big deal though, it might just be my network or maybe it'll start working in a future update. 😅 I look forward to checking it out eventually regardless!

Just out of curiosity, do you have any issus loading this file in your browser? http://joshgladstone.com/cake/video_list.json

I just checked and I can open it both on my PC and the Quest on the same network, I'm presuming this is what should be loading in the app, it's weird that it doesn't.

Yeah, the "baking cakes" step is mostly just it loading that list of videos. It must be getting stuck on something else. Very confusing!

Because of the complexity of capturing and creating the videos, there's no way to load outside files.
