I recently updated Samsung VR and now I can't play 180 movies...these movies worked fine before the "upgrade".  What the hell is going on?

Samsung VR app (Milk VR) no longer shows play button next to videos. the delete icon is there but does not work.

The videos do show the play button via the preview (y'know, when they show up below the category prior to you selecting one) but videos are having problems with stuttering/bad lag followed by "this video can not be played" randomly. 

If you catch it quick when it starts to stutter and skip ahead in the video slightly it gets you several more minutes before it happens again.

Samsung/Oculus need to stop pushing updates that BRICK our VR.

Completely kills any hope of immersion.

I'm starting to question my Samsung and Oculus loyalty.

Everything's fine here.  Played a range of 180° clips, right up to 3840x1920@60fps.  Even 360° 3840x3840 60fps clips will play for a while, although not reliably (since a 4K square is a bit too much at 60fps).

4206x4206@30fps is flawless, as has always been the case.

Exynos variant of the S7.  Are you guys all running Snapdragon variants?  The SOC version is a significant variable in the troubleshooting/bug reporting equation (as is the device model of course), so it's important to provide the information.
