Why Immivio
Free to use.
Built for playback.
A VR media player focused on your own videos and photos, with performance-conscious playback and open source you can inspect.
Hardware decoding. GPU rendering.
libmpv uses Android hardware video decoding where supported, with shared GPU textures for rendering. Display-quality controls let you balance detail and load on your headset.
From local files to your NAS.
Play local media or browse SMB and DLNA sources, plus supported Plex, Emby and Jellyfin libraries. Keep your own collection within reach.
A player for your own media
More ways to
see what you love.
A familiar film. A scene you can look around. Choose a view that fits the media in front of you.
Make room for the big screen.
Set the size, distance and curvature of supported screens. Choose audio and subtitles, and bookmark a moment worth returning to.
Let the scene surround you.
180°, 360° and fisheye projections, with side-by-side and top-bottom layouts. Supported spatial photos and videos keep their stereo views.
Bring the library you already have.
Start with local files, or connect SMB, DLNA and supported media servers. Available features depend on the source and account permissions.
Inside the player
Controls that stay within reach.
Playback preferences and display quality share a familiar set of controls.
Actual Android emulator captures using blandscape-60mbps.mp4, shown through the pre-rename build’s 2D diagnostic entry. These images do not demonstrate headset stereoscopy, passthrough or frame rate. The original video is not bundled.
Made for the way you watch
Find your
comfortable view.
Your room, your posture, your media. A few direct controls put the picture where you want it.
Learn the everyday controls →-
Put it in place
Hold the controller grip to move a picture or window; use the same hand’s thumbstick to adjust distance where supported.
-
Settle in
Watch seated, or enable reclining mode. Follow is a separate setting, so you can choose how the view behaves.
-
Pick up where you left off
Per-file viewing preferences, timestamp bookmarks and saved playback queues make it easier to return to your media.
Get Immivio
Choose your headset.
Press play.
Download the free VR video player for Meta Quest or PICO, or choose the experimental Android OpenXR package. One playback edition for existing stereo and spatial media.
Published versions appear in GitHub Releases. Current development APKs are under Artifacts in successful workflow runs; GitHub sign-in is required. Pre-rename releases retain their historical names.
Quest 2 and PICO Neo3 are compatibility targets. Performance depends on device, codec and bitrate. Generic OpenXR needs a compatible Android runtime.
Good to know
A few things before you press play.
Is Immivio really free?
Yes. Immivio is free to download, use and build, with no player purchase or subscription. Its source is available on GitHub under GPL-3.0. Third-party services may have their own fees.
What makes Immivio designed for high-performance VR playback?
Supported formats use Android hardware decoding through libmpv and GPU-based video rendering. You can adjust display quality for your device. Actual performance depends on headset, codec, resolution and bitrate; see the playback troubleshooting guide.
Can I watch VR180, 360° and 3D SBS videos?
Yes. Choose flat, 180°, 360° or fisheye projection and side-by-side (SBS) or top-bottom stereo layout to match your file. Immivio also displays supported spatial videos and photos; format support depends on the APK and media.
How do I install it on my headset?
Enable developer mode, connect to your computer and approve USB debugging, then install the APK with your preferred sideloading tool. Open Immivio from the headset’s sideloaded-app library. Follow the installation guide →
Why does my video look split or distorted?
Match the projection and stereo layout to the source. Use Flat for ordinary video; use Fisheye and SBS for VR180 SBS fisheye media. Projection, side-by-side/top-bottom packing, and eye order are separate choices.
Does every APK support spatial formats and PGS subtitles?
Use SRT, ASS, SSA or VTT text subtitles; bitmap subtitles are not offered. Packed SBS/TB video is supported. MV-HEVC dual-view video and Dolby Vision colour correctness have not been validated. Read the compatibility notes →
