AVPro + HLS is a really good workflow for Quest streaming.
Honestly, the biggest limitation is usually not AVPro, it is that 360 video needs extremely high effective resolution once stretched around the sphere. Even 5.7K can look quite terrible in VR.
I would say that you can:
- Use HEVC/H265 for all variants
• Keep multiple bitrate/resolution ladders for HLS adaptive streaming
• Prioritize stable playback over maximum quality
• Avoid huge bitrate jumps between variants
• Use short keyframe intervals (around 2s)
One important thing:
A well encoded 4K stream often looks better than a poorly encoded 5.7K stream on Quest. Encoder settings matter a lot.
