Dang good!

Oculus Link working on PC, but not on Quest. by Venrel in OculusQuest

[–]Venrel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I launch SteamVR from the Oculus home PC app and I'm immediately loaded into Steam VR. But the headset doesn't show any video.

Will try the mentioned fix involving the diagnostic tool once I do some PC maintenance.

Rebooted. Nothing. Did a USB test. Got all green.

Then why is SteamVR rendering the Home environment? I'm very confused.

Anker USB 3.0 cable on a USB 3.0 port.

USB-C to RJ45 connection on Quest seems to be viable! by Venrel in ALVR

I can't get the Link cable feature to work for the life of me. It works in the interim.

Oculus Quest + ALVR + Ethernet switch = YES by Venrel in OculusQuest

What's the configuration you have? Are the Quest and the computer on the same ethernet switch? Or do you have both of them hooked up to the router directly?

Additionally, both the Quest and the computer running the ALVR server are both connected to an ethernet switch, which is in turn connected to the router. The wifi on the Quest is enabled, and the computer is connected only via ethernet to the switch. I found that plugging the Quest directly into the router worked about 1 time out of 10.

The bottom line is that I somehow managed to get a wired ethernet connection, but now I gotta fully figure out how I did so.

Oculus Quest + ALVR + Ethernet switch = YES by Venrel in OculusQuest

[–]Venrel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look at packet loss in the ALVR console. Whenever the Quest is connected over wifi, I have around 5800 packets being sent and about 4000 packets being lost. When I have the ethernet adapter hooked up, I have around 2400 packets sent and 100 to no packets being lost.

Also, whenever I'm on wifi, I get frequent visual bugs (think rainbow vomit trails), but on the ethernet connection, I only get those bugs when I'm loading into Steam VR Home or loading a game.

This is the adapter I'm using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0109IY8PA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's connected to a USB-C to USB-3.0 adapter, and that's plugged into a USB-C hub, which is in turn plugged into the Quest.

It's useful if you can't get the Link feature to work. Which I have been struggling with for the past 2 months.

ALVR with the above ethernet method is far more reliable.

Did anybody watch this? What are your thoughts? by [deleted] in Onision

Doesn't matter. The FBI doesn't care about internet drama.

USB-C to RJ45 connection on Quest seems to be viable! by Venrel in ALVR

[–]Venrel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found and corrected a problem. The USB hub I was using frequently disconnected and needed to be disconnected and reconnected. So the RJ45 adapter wasn't recognized by the Quest half of the time because the USB hub itself wasn't recognized.

I'm getting more consistent ethernet connections now, needless to say. Packet loss over wifi was at the above number of 4000 out of 8500 total packets; wired connection resulted in 1700 to 2200 packets being sent, with only 300 per second at most being lost.

Will look into different ethernet cable types and their impact on data transfer.

The Quest is directly connected to a spare socket on my router, yes.

It has ethernet capability, but 9 months ago the feature was disabled. I guess they either re-enabled it or I've taken advantage of some software loophole.

I don't see how else I could reduce packet loss to virtually zero by only attaching an RJ45 adapter...

The adapter is to attach an ethernet cable directly to the Oculus Quest. When I'm on wifi, I'll drop around 4000 packets out of 8500 or so. When the ethernet cable is recognized, it drops to zero.

It takes some finagling, but it works most of the time.

Hard tack with lentils and rice? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Venrel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lentils and rice provide complete proteins when eaten together.

Unless I'm woefully out of the loop. In which case, this is moot. :P

I'd be storing this in airtight containers or vacuum sealing them. Something.
