Is there a way to disable the Universal Menu screen record feature

VonHunt

Hey, as the title says I was wondering if there is any way to disable the screen record and/or screen shot features of the Universal Menu for a gear vr app? I'm working on a video streaming app that has purchasable video content so allowing an easy way for users to record it is kind of an issue for us!

There is not today, but something general for this will be coming.  Can you PM me and we'll talk about details?

Hi adamhupp,

So far I have been enabling and disabling the Oculus Screen Recorder by setting: 

debug.oculus.enableVideoCapture 1
https://developer3.oculus.com/documentation/mobilesdk/latest/concepts/mobile-localprefs/

in Android System Properties via adb shell commands on a Samsung Galaxy s6. Do you know anything about how this is actually flagged natively by Oculus in the android device code?

The best I've managed so far is to find SystemProperties.java in the Android Source code as show in this link:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/java/android/os

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

David

Oh and the reason I wish to do this is to capture gameplay footage of Gear VR apps made in Unity but not yet on the Oculus store via the Oculus Screen Recorder you normally access from Oculus Home (it's the only quality video capture method I've found so far for mobile VR!)

excuse me  

can i ask about something in submission for oculus store GearVR

i found this error

A back button long-press (greater than 0.75 seconds) must bring the user to the Universal Menu. When exiting the Universal menu, the "exit to Oculus Home?" screen appears. The user should be brought back to where they left off within the app when leaving the Universal menu.

although i attached OVRPlatformMenu to my camera object

can you help me ?
