I know the Netflix app essentially was a pet project of John Carmack and it was really great on GearVR at the time.
Now it looks like a neglected child and need an upgrade to match the wonderful new hardware of the Quest 2.
Please talk to the concerned parties (Netflix?). And John, if you´re seeing this: Blow some magic coding dust its way. Please?
Wishlist by order of priority:
*Update the streams to HD-material - 480p doesn´t look good. (never really did, but now it looks horrendous)
*Update textures in the enviroment (gives us more enviroments?), Passthrough as background?
*Ability to watch together with a friend or two.
*Ability to download videos to the device.
*Give some love to Void Theatre and let us choose backdrops, color schemes or even passthrough + some more control on curvature of the screen.
*Maybe integrate it as an Oculus-TV-app?
The Netflix and Youtube video quality in Oculus Quest 2 is horrible! It makes these apps completely useless.
1080p for videos should be a minimum and 4k should be the target in VR.
Quest 2 is now my primary method of watching content. Not sure it makes much sense to keep my netflix subscription if there is insufficient support for this headset. This is such a missed opportunity by Netflix. They should update with many awesome environments and create a Netflix VR experience showing off the latest tech.
This would be so amazing. Netflix for sure would be one of the apps I would use in the Quest 2 on a regular basis, no doubt! (If it only had at least Full HD resolution). It is hard to bring myself to watch Netflix in Q2 in 480p.
