Synchronized Video Playback on multiple Gear VRs

[wmylionel]

There was an app called Samsung MilkVR that had the option to trigger a Synchronized Video Playback on multiple Gear VRs on the same network. However, it is no longer on the Oculus Library. The samsung app has been renamed to Samsung VR recently, which is also not available in the Oculus Store hence unable to launch in the Oculus Home screen. Anyone managed to get this app working via the Oculus Home screen?

If not, then are there any solutions out there that can trigger a Synchronized Video Playback on the Gear VR via wifi UDP or bluetooth, etc?

Here is a link to a FAQ for Samsung VR regarding Synchronized Video Playback,

If only we can get Samsung VR to run on Gear VR...

Solved : I factory reset my phone, made sure the phone is identified as US IP, then plugged in the device into the Gear VR, then search in the Oculus app list for Samsung VR and install it. Followed the FAQ steps in the link above. And it is now working.

Found a (commercial) gear vr sync solution which seems to work, used by some big brands.

We tried this with our company and it works great, bit expensive though for smaller businesses!
