Confirmed. It's a browser bug though...

[DigiTec]

We have identified a state restore issue related to a performance feature. This will be fixed in Oculus Browser 4.7 unless we are able to pull it back into a maintenance release.

[frankolivier]

We fixed it in 4.6.2, which will be releasesed very soon.

[jonobr1]

@frankolivier any possibility of revealing a timetable to the release? Over at www.with.in we have a big update, but wanna hold off until we know it'll work in the Oculus Go.

[iansan5653]

@frankolivier Any idea when 4.6.2 is coming out? We have some projects at USF that rely on Go to function.

[frankolivier]

We are rolling out 4.6.2 right now; all users should have it in the next few weeks.

I don't know it this is related, but with Oculus Browser 4.1 on Oculus Go, if in chrome://flags I disable the 'WebVR direct rendering optimizations' (first option), I stop having issues (mostly noise in the texture) with WebVR videos (in AFrame 0.8.2). My issue was that the video texture (on a plane) was 'contaminated' with other parts of the scene.

[iansan5653]

@oscarmarinmiro It's definitely related -- I haven't received the 4.6.2 update yet but disabling that flag fixes the issue for me. Thank you!

[paulmasson]

Just got the update. The example works now.

Thank you for all the help everyone.

I can confirm the WebVR video example is now working on Oculus Go / Oculus Browser in VR mode.
