Windows 10 enviroment, Vive Focus 3, installed via exe, GPU 4080, Laptop. I'm trying to setup ALVR and trying to distribute it via distribution service on the machine and for the distribution I would need the primary OBB file for this. I'm new to Android development and not sure where could i possibly locate this file or should i create it by myself manually from git.
Thank you in advance for any assistance!

Hello! Imma do my best to assist you - OBB is normally generated during the build process on Android I am given to understand. I am not sure how ALVR handles this specifically for distribution. I assume you are attempting to run ALVR on your Vive - your headset is supported. You will want the ALVR apk file (3rd one down) https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/releases/tag/v20.6.0. Put this onto whatever storage method that headset uses (SD card for example), allow third party apps to run, then follow the process from here. You'll want USB mode set so you can transfer the apk across to the headset.
You've already got ALVR running on your PC, so once it is installed on your Vive, it is a simple case of having ALVR running on headset and computer, set trust, firewall and drivers and then it should work!

It's a trial that we are doing with current distribution model and plan to use it in a kiosk mode but what it looks right now there might be some issues without the OBB files.

So does it appear that there might be issues without the OBB files? Investigate any runtime processes that involve downloading assets to ensure they are functioning correctly and check over all the readme's etc - You'd be best off talking directly to a contributor of the code as they are the people who see all the files and what not on a daily basis!
Ah cool cool. Sounds like he is the guy you want @sullen salmon!
sullen salmon
Most def, thanks guys! I will try to reach out to him!

I believe he is the lead developer of ALVR, so just be aware his schedule will be busy!

(Could be wrong but he seems to be the guy who does all the announcements and pretty much knows the software inside out!)
I guess I'll bow out for the moment then, best of luck to you man, hope you are able to achieve what you are looking to do with the code!

@sullen salmon i'm here :) so for work we use a fork of ALVR. We also use the Focus 3 on kiosk mode. We just use the APK, there is no OBB file
sullen salmon
Are you using any what platform to distribute it to the devices or are you just installing it on the machines locally?

Now i ran into another issue...😅 I'm trying to run a wired setup, i'm running the 20.6.0 version of the ALVR and for port forwarding ADB forwarder from the Github. I followed the following instructions:
ALVR Streamer (PC):
If your headset is detected, click "Trust." Click "Edit", "Add new" and change the IP address to 127.0.0.1.
If your headset is not detected, click "Add client manually" and use the IP address 127.0.0.1. Use the hostname displayed on your headset screen.
Turn off client discovery in Settings > Connection.
Switch the connection streaming protocol to TCP in Settings > Connection.
But for some reason when i try the connection i get following error in the logs:
{"timestamp":"09:15:01.746288400","event_type":{"id":"Log","data":{"severity":"Error","content":"Handshake error for 8823.client.alvr: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. (os error 10053)"}}}
{"timestamp":"09:37:09.353845400","event_type":{"id":"Log","data":{"severity":"Error","content":"Could not initiate connection for 8823.client.alvr: A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket using a sendto call) no address was supplied. (os error 10057)"}}}
I don't have any firewall or anything running on the machine, and i have even tried with the IP of the headset when adding a trusted device. Any ideas what i might be doing wrong or is there something wrong with the wired setup? The ADB has a successfull result on the run.
When i run the setup, the PC client is left on Connecting / Disconnected mode and the headset shutsdown the alvr app
