Can't get ALVR to output video to Quest 2 - Feddit.it
feddit.it
Hi, im on Pop os 22.04 and I’ve been trying to install ALVR. I managed to get Steam VR and game audio to work, but I couldn’t get video output in the headset. I’ve tried tweaking my bitrate settings and nothing changed. I’ve heard that this is a common problem with Wayland, but I’m on X11, so it shouldn’t affect me. I have an Nvidia 2060 super graphics card

    My issue was that my Pico 4 headset didn’t find the streaming server on my PC. did you have to do any port forwarding or any network stuff like that?

    If you are using a packaged version, try compiling it from source. On Arch the package from the repo would just not output and video, but after building from source it worked fine … some of the time.

    It is still very hit and miss for me. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I’m really hoping that the new Steam Link VR works on Linux.

      Tried to build form source today. It changed nothing. Still no video output to the headset. Steam vr’s preview works fine tho

    I managed to get an output. Turns out it was Steam VR, installed the newer beta, but you need the 1.27 beta.
