Dear all,I developed a few APKs that run perfectly on Go and Quest 1.A Unity video player loads a video stored in a local folder on runtime. For that, I switched the video source to URL and its path to /mnt/sdcard/myfolder/video.mp4Now on Quest 2, it doesn't load the video! Is there a new path? Or does Quest 2 not accept ARMv7 APKs? The app is running on Quest 2, mind you, but not loading the video - as if it doesn't know where to look for the files.I hope someone from the Oculus officials can shed some light on this.ThanksFelix

I'm having a different but perhaps similar issue. Our Quest 1 app has a custom save function that works great, but on the Quest 2 it crashes the app. Has a path changed or some permissions or something? I'm using Unreal 4.25.3 both Binary and Oculus Integration versions, happens the same way on both. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

@TheSwanCollective I do not have any specific insights about Quest2's path structure since I have never experienced any problem yet.Below is the simplest sample of code how I access to the local storage of my Quest/Quest2. This may not work for the defaults (pre-created by OS) folders but works fine for my use case.using System.IO;public class DirectorySetter : MonoBehaviour{void Start(){Directory.CreateDirectory("sdcard/MyFolder");}}

Hmm... Maybe I should get rid of the /mnt/ then? Worth a try tomorrow :)

Better check if the system reaches to the files by outputting some debug log.Then could be Unity's video player issue, maybe.

Same issue here: Any news for @OculusSupport. Everything works as expected except loading of files from the sdcard. This same problem was there when moving from Go to Quest, now from Quest to Quest2.

Quest 2 - Local Storage Path changed? - Quest1 App broken!

Same issue here: in a Quest app a video file is loaded from local storage: file:///storage/emulated/0/MyFolder/MyVideo.mp4
It runs fine on Quest 1 but on Quest 2 the file can't be played. File is correctly placed and not corrupted. App has correct read/write permissions for external storage. Target API level is 27.

Hi, @Ham1ton. Could you tell me how you are trying to access to the local storage for your custom saving function? I would like to know it for my future project to avoid the issue.
At this moment, with my old project I have no issue about reading/writing data with both Quest and Quest2.

using System.IO;
public class DirectorySetter : MonoBehaviour
{
void Start()
{
Directory.CreateDirectory("sdcard/MyFolder");
}
}
