    When I run a 3D movie with vlc player oculus starts and I can watch it on the virtual TV, but it is side by side (2 images). How do I make it 3D?

    You can switch to stereo 3d mode on the image page of the vorpX ingame menu. The setting is called Content Type. Apparently some people have an issue with opening the ingame menu in VLC. If that is true for you, try MPC-HC instead.

    Also make sure to apply the Game Optimizer setting for VLC/MPC-HC for the best experience.

    It’s even worse in my case, ingame menu doesn’t open in VLC and MPC-HC doesn’t even get hooked by VorpX. Any Hints on this ?
    My system infos:

    Win7 64bit
    Geforce GTX 970

    VLC and MPC both 64bit, latest versions.

    Try the 32bit versions. There was a report earlier on MPC-HC 64bit not hooking, but the 32bit version worked fine.

    Update:

    Yes, using the 32bit Version of MPC fixed it. Thanks for the quick support and great job with the videoplayer!

    Hello.
    I ran VLC on Windows 7. Just install 2.2.1 version of VLC-32Bit and change output mode to OpenGL (not experimental).
    Sometimes need reset presets of VLC in settings of Vorpx.

    You may have to click into the player window once. The player window has to have the mouse and keyboard focus, otherwise vorpX does not receive key presses.

    After vorpX hooked into VLC, open the vorpX ingame menu with [DEL] and go to the image page of the ingame menu. The first option “Content Type” let’s you switch between mono/side by side/over under.
