How to watch 3D movies on the Lume Pad?

This gives me a stupid message about needing to format the same SD card that I know works because it just came out of another Android device. Why.

There are different kinds of file systems, they do different things, and not every one is available on every device. Lume Pad can read Fat32 storage devices attached directly to it, or you can transfer from any file system if you connect Lume Pad to a Windows or Mac computer and transfer from there.

@BenMcLean

Also, LeiaPlayer doesn’t have network support, so I can’t watch movies stored on other devices on my network in order to work around this device’s lack of storage. Why.

There’s an app for Lume Pad you can use to do this: Guide: How to stream your own 3D-SBS or 2x2-4V videos from your PC to Lume Pad using Jellyfin & MPV-4V (Works with RH1 too)

@BenMcLean

If I were a betting man, I would place a bet that LeiaPlayer can’t connect to external storage even if I plug external storage in. Just a hunch. Am I wrong?

You’re correct, LeiaPlayer does not currently have external storage support. But you can simply transfer the files from attached storage to the device’s local storage and it will be able to play them back.

I notice that literally all the apps in the Leia app store are free right now … which would be a good thing … unless it is a sign that the company’s going out of business due to the chip shortage as soon as it sells off remaining inventory.

Nope. We are doing great, and continuing to work on future hardware and software products. We’re not being negatively impacted by the chip shortage, except that like everyone, we’re having a tough time buying graphics cards for our PCs .

We’re offering the apps for free on the Leia Appstore as a promotion to entice new customers and for prior users to get them to try new games they otherwise wouldn’t.
