Whar are the suffixes for the Leiaplayer?

I’ve a Lume Pad 2 since some weeks. It can be connected via USB-3 with my Microsoft Laptop as a HD drive of my PC. I’ve a lot of different 360 en/of 3D images and video’s, which I can download so from my PC to the Lume Pad 2. To be recognized by the Lume Pad 2 the suffix for a normal 3D “full SBS” image is adding “_2x1” after the filename and “_half-2x1” for a “half SBS” image.
For a 180-degree video in 3D I found the suffix is “_108_LR-vr”.
I’ve also a Oculus 3 with the perfect program Pegasus, which can play all kinds of 2D/3D/180/360 images and video’s incl. the YouTube compression-method. I tried the suffixes of Pegasus, ether they didn’t work for playing the images and video’s on the Lume-Pad-2.
Can someone tell me all the suffixes for all kind of images and video’s to play with the LeiaPlayer incl. with the YouTube-compression method? Or is there another Android Player for this Lume Pad 2 which can play them all? I’m doubting if Lume Pad 2 can play any kind of Top-Down video’s/images.
Who can give me more information! Thank you in Advance!

Super Thanks. I hope more suffixes for 3D/360 images and video will come in next version of Leiaplayer. Or other android apps such as Pegasus for the Oculus 1, 2 or 3 which can play near all formats.

YouTubeVR should work (and 3D videos as well, but they have to be uploaded with the new MP4 stereo format, not the old SBS tag). Then you can just play them on the tablet native.

Can you give more infromation how to upload YouTubeVR in the new MP4 stereo format? I never have heard of a “new MP4 stereo format”? Since when is this new standard on he marker? Can you give me a link voor both issues?

I was able to figure out the following suffixes added to the end of the filename of photos and videos. First, some tips: The micro-SD card must be formatted as Exfat. This can simply be done in the Lumepad 2.

Indeed: the current LeiaPlayer cannot play Top-Down photos and videos. I also haven’t been able to get videos with the specific YouTube SBS-format.
All photos and videos in SBS format can be played: also the 180- and 360-degree versions.
The suffixes for normal SBS-photo or video is “_2x1” and for half-wide “_half_2x1”. Such as stated in the manual.
New finding for me are the suffices (egal for photo or video!):

  • 180 degree photo or video: “_180_LR-vr”; if it is a 3D-180-degree photo/video, you must put on the 2D/3D slide in the right under corner on 3D
  • 360 degree photo or video: “_3600_LR-vr”; if it is a 3D-360-degree photo/video, you must put on the 2D/3D slide in the right under corner on 3D

However, there is a difference between the current version of LeiaPlayer’s recognition of these files with these suffixes between MP4 and MKV files. The MP4 are recognized, but the MKV files must be manually set to the correct selection. Maybe the developer can include this in the next version of Leiaplayer and add this information in the documentation.

WEBM video files I didn’t tested; also I have not tested this photo-files PNG, WEBP and HEIC

No, all you have to do is _vr for VR180 and _360 for 360. If it’s 3D 360, you can do _tb_360.

YouTube 360-VR also uses this compression method:


How to play these in the Lumepad 2 is my issue.

They work in YouTube. I mean you can either upload them to YouTube to watch, or hope someone develops a modern 3D video player that works with more than SBS. Though the MP4/MKV 3D is just metadata, the video inside is still SBS (but can be half or full width), the advantage is that the video player can decide what to do automatically.
