Stereoscopic playback on Gear VR

I'm using a Gear VR2 and a Samsung S6 to watch my 360 videos in both stereoscopic and regular format.

When I use VR player to watch the 360 stereoscopic videos on a Google Cardboard, it works fine.

However, when I play them via the oculus ap on the Gear Vr, the panoramic stitches just play as one huge sphere side by side or top and bottom. I am using the Oculus naming convention seen here:
https://support.oculus.com/hc/en-us/art ... 360-Videos

Basically, the naming convention does nothing. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there another way to play back stereoscopic videos using the Gear VR?

Thanks!

    You can put them in MilkVR.

    Create a MilkVR folder in the root directory and place files in their. Use the same type of naming or use 3dh.mp4 to signify side by side stereo.

    It should work with the correct naming. Just make sure to use "Oculus 360 Videos" app, and not "Oculus Videos". This could be the reason: I suspect "Oculus 360 Videos" app is not installed by default in all models.
