I greatly appreciate you taking the time to research it. Thanks for looking into it!
Yeah but, not but, yeah but... Just tried forcing 16:9 on Vampire Hunter D from 1985 and it looks squashed. I would have to put video in a video editor to add bars to fit 16:9. Anyways its your plugin you do what you want.
Outstanding!The lags could be performance issues. Check your VAM frame rate in the Performance tab. Try lowering the graphics and see how it goes. VAM in VR alone is very demanding in terms of computing resources, you are adding on top of it a videoplayer with audio computing and now HTRFs... All this doesn't come for free... I do my best too keep the code simple and performant as I can, but I code on a high end PC with an rtx4090 and sometimes it can't keep the max settings...
Can't wait but it will give me more time to encode more movies. Now I have to see how to deal with those cpu lags. Might be temps or a vam thing. I saw your plugin handle them fine when they happened no desync on video. Yes it is amazing what has be done with vam using that old Unity with so many limitations. Sex is a powerful motivator at any time period.
Fantastic! You nailed the 3D positional audio! I can really hear sound moving around me proper. Even heard a few subtle sounds from some clips I made for testing I didn't hear with my Binaural USB DAC. Heard a chair sliding on the far left and I could hear the bare feet from the girl running away from the shooter as if she was running away from me. And you managed to fix the aspect ratios as well, thank you. What a difference from the previous update. Well done!
I never like that spatial effect. It sounds too much like it's coming from a sewer environment. But it might cause more overhead than needed. Just a thought.@Sam Gold Hi Sam, I'm glad you appreciate?Fantastic! You nailed the 3D positional audio! I can really hear sound moving around me proper.

Suggestions:
1. Have a toggle switch to swap L/R stereoscopic for 3D vids. I have Ant Man and it is playing inverse the 3D and had no way to switch them around.
2. Maybe include a Loop switch for vids. Sometimes there are vids like music videos that would be great to have on loop like having scene mocap dancing with video for backdrop like a concert. Just a suggestion.
Errors I encountered:
1. Whenever cpu spike lag, stereo audio would play from more speakers that I would get a reverb effect. I had to adjust audio sync then reset it and it would fix it. I think it is on my end. No spikes=no audio swapping or duplicating channels.
2. I think your plugin might have problems playing videos with higher frames per second. The standard frame time would be fine just my 48 and 60 fps vids would cause a clipping/pop noise every 5-10 sec. Almost like its is running out of a buffer cache or something. Here is a link with 2 video samples that cause the problems. Test it out on your end and see if it my end. I used the same encoding settings for the lower frame rate vids and they played with no pop/click. https://gofile.io/d/6Z1W10 One is a 5.1 surround demo for testing interpolated to 59 fps and the other Ant Man in 3D at 48 fps.
Oh and the Lighting Effect is the TOPS!! I can't believe how amazing it is seeing the light reflecting on my girls skin while watching the video. VHT on steam needs that effect. So immersive that little detail of light flickering. It looks better than Big Screen on steam with its version of lighting effect. It was too strong felt unreal really.
Now that you got this working how about a separate plugin the make all sounds from vam audio source HRTF
Anyways I will wait to see what you find with those high frame rate vids. Holding off encoding my library but super excited nonetheless.
You Rock!!!
Yeah that movie was reversed. Weird it was fine for you. Anyways check this out...I just found out I have been using an old version of vam 2 updates old ? And to just kick the dog once again, I am now under-volting my gpu. Random crashes in vam every session. Had to drop power by 20% to keep it stable. About to test VR soon let you know how it goes. Ran some tough scenes and gpu doesn't sweat it. Had some cpu lags but 10 min apart. Before it was every 1-2 min.
Hi Bob. Don't know. What do you use for recording? An external software? VAM is basically Unity. I would start from Unity docs if I were you. To record 6 discrete audio channels I think for sure you have to place 6 discrete Unity Listeners in the Scene, and then find a software which can interface to Unity and record the 6 Listeners as discrete audio channels. Hope it helps ?
