Sideloaded files are not accessible on Quest device until after restart

Posting here as it has to do with Quest devices with developer mode/usb debugging enabled to sideload files.

When sideloading videos to a Quest device, a video is not accessible to apps like Meta Quest TV or others (Skybox, Play'a, etc) until after the device is restarted. Further, files/images, are not accessible on the Meta Quest Files app as well initially after sideloading. The only resolution is to restart the device to make the files appear.

Device details:

  • Device: Quest 3
    • Quest OS version: 68.0.0.596.362
    • System version: 50111700065800510
  • Device: Quest Pro
    • Quest OS version (PTC): 69.0.0.303.335
    • System version: 50436710027900330

 

I'm able to replicate this on Quest Pro and 2 as well.
