I've added support for the Oculus Rift in Stereoscopic Player version 2.0.5. The current implementation allows to watch 2D and 3D images and videos on the Rift. Headtracking is not supported yet, I'll add it later when I have access to a Rift for testing. I had no chance to test this release on a real device, thus I would be happy to get some feedback, especially if you notice bugs.
To download the Stereoscopic Player, go to http://www.3dtv.at/Downloads. After the installation, run it and click View|Viewing Method|Oculus Rift. Next, load some 2D or 3D media file and click View|Full Screen Mode (Scaled). Although the player displays a distorted image in windowed mode, too, you will perceive a correct image in full screen mode only.
By default no pixels of the content are cropped. Unfortunately, this results in a large black border, especially with widescreen content. Press Ctrl+Alt+Enter to switch to the "non-fit" fullscreen mode that allows to set the zoom level with Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3 and so on.
Stereoscopic content is typically recorded with camera toe-in or the parallax is corrected in post. On the Rift such content would result in diverging eye axis and cause eyestrain. Consequently, the player compensates 2% positive parallax which is fine for most content. If your content exceeds 2% positive parallax you can use the left/right arrow keys to adjust the parallax.

I mean, in full observance of Rule 34, all recent production of OculusRealPorn (now VirtualRealporn) 😉
Hi pwimmer, I am testing out the Stereoscopic Player on some of the sample videos with the Rift. What I am seeing is a drift in the focus point of the video. The point where the video displays shifts over time. At first I thought it was an issue with the positional tracking IR camera since I didnt have it plugged in at first, but that isnt the case. Is this a known issue or is there a way to stop the drifting?

Hello im new on the rift (CV1), but im already a registered user of stereoscopic player. This is a great 3d player and i love it.
I must be stupid, but im not able to play video with the stereoscopic player in the rift. Video play in the player, i select oculus as a viewing method, i click fullscreen but nothing inside the rift 😞
How do you guys pay video with stereoscopic player in the rift?
Thanks, yes i know about that but can't play mvc 3d mkv. Stereoscopic player is the only one who can. Maybe it need an update then. Thanks for your reply.
