V77 V78 Possibly V79 - Meta Browser Media Playback Issues.
Adding this to version 79 since I didn't see 77 or 78.
First, I want to thank the Meta Quest development team for all your hard work and the ongoing improvements you bring to the platform. I really appreciate the effort that goes into each update.
However, I wanted to share some feedback regarding the Meta browser. Since upgrading from version 76 to 77, I’ve noticed that video playback from media servers (like my Jellyfin server) no longer works. For example, I was halfway through a movie on v76, and after the update, playback just stopped working the next day. I’ve seen others mention similar issues, so I know I’m not alone.
It’s worth noting that my server still works perfectly with other browsers and Jellyfin apps—this issue seems specific to the Meta browser. I was hoping version 78 would resolve it, but unfortunately, the problem persists, and I haven’t been asked to version 79. While I am hopeful v79 "could" fix it, with the other issues I'm seeing, I will probably wait unless its confirmed.
If possible, I’d love to see a solution in an upcoming release—maybe even a temporary rollback to the stability of v76 until these features can be addressed. If anyone knows a safe way to revert to v76, I’d appreciate any advice. (in the future a roll back feature would be appreciated just in case something like this happens).
I truly enjoyed watching my 3D movies and other content in the Meta browser, and I hope we can get back to that great experience soon. Thanks again for listening and for all your continued work!
