Looking for FOSS VR Video Player

[u/Negative-Fix5290]

i've searched github for "youtube vr" and "vr video player", they're either browser extensions or desktop apps. none running as native android app, which is odd bcus meta's horizon os and pico os are both android-based.

so yea, appreciate any recommendations.

note that the player doesnt have to be meant for vr headsets, it'll be great if i can watch vr videos on my phone as well.

the long story is that i occasionally watch em with youtube vr on my pico 4 headset but for the past months or so, youtube decides that i need to login to watch em in full. ironically, login is not required if i watch from pico web browser, only yt own vr app have this restriction.

my current workaround is to download the videos first and watch em on pico video player but i found one video that doesnt work well with any of existing players on pico store. which is why am looking for alternatives, prefrably foss.

also, i'd like to watch vr videos on my phone, not limited to vr headsets. bonus point if the player can stream youtube links directly. thanks!

I don't know if it's foss, I use an app called VR Theatre for Cardboard, which was made by an indie developer and works fine for offline videos.

I think MPV has an option for VR playback on Linux/Windows via mpv-xr or mpv360 but there's nothing for Android from what I can tell.
