Hey Yall,

New member here. Since I'm assuming we're all big fans of porn, I wanted to give you my VR Setup.
No one really talks about it, and if we're all fans of pornstars, I have been a die hard fan of all the VR
options that are out.

First off, I download all VR sites, I have countless hard drives and as soon as I figured out how to get
VR running smoothly I was off to the races.

Most VR headsets have zero to no hard drive space on it. Most VR companies get around it by offering
a VR application to be able to watch them on the cloud, which is a terrible idea since streaming VR
is usually streaming a lower end version of the stuff you are paying for.

I hunted for a headset that can play VR movies directly off a hard drive with nothing in between. I didn't
want to stream it from a Steam VR computer and I didn't want to constantly add 2 or 3 VR files to the headset
itself because they usually took about 20 minutes per VR file.

I found the PICO 4 VR headset, sold in Europe and Canada, but you can have it shipped here. I have never
used it for anything other than viewing VR porn, so as far as I know it's bad at everything else.

With the PICO 4 VR headset, you can plug a hard drive into the USB C plug on the headset itself. It will
use it's power to run the hard drives. So, you can use a NVME SSD in an USB-C enclosure to run your favorite
stuff. You can also use any portable hard drive as long at it plugs into USB C. Costco sells portable hard drive
around 5-7TB for around 100ish, if you want a bunch at your finger tips.

For me, I use a 2tb NVME SSD enclosure to watch anything new since I can transfer very quickly from a desktop.
The normal non-ssd portable hard drives are around 10 times slower but there is higher capacity.

Here's my setup.
A huge amount of 15-20TB External drives to archive all my VR porn. They just fill up with the sites I subscribe to
and they lay dormant just in case I need them.

I have a few favorite drives PStars or Favorites, available when I need it.

I have 5 small portable hard drives for travel. These contain all my best of the best which I would love to have available at all times.

I have 2 NVME enclosed drives for checking out new stuff. If I just got a new VR site and I'm curious about a new Little Puck (Tryst Agency) or Penny Barber (Tryst Agency)
scene. I put it in those drives, takes a minute to put into the hard drive and I can watch right away.

The one issue I've had is with Passthrough. I use MoonVR to play most of it, but it doesn't really do much for me, and it really heats up
the headset. But, Pico 4 VR is the only thing I use. I've tried quest and others, nothing works as good. Also, having pornstars walk around my
own room doesn't have the effect I thought it would. It just makes me want to clean my room.

Have a great day,
Justin

I've been VR only since 2018, but my setup is a lot simpler.

First, I'm STILL on the Quest 2. It's falling apart little by little and I'm anywhere from hours to a few months from needing a new headset. I watch a lot less porn than I used to, though, since I started booking porn stars, so it's lasting longer than I've expected.

I have 3 external hard drives with a total of about 18 TB of VR porn, most of it older stuff in 4k-6k that I can't even watch anymore because of the poor quality, but I keep around because I really enjoyed it back in the day or it has a model who doesn't shoot anymore, stuff like that.

I almost never stream from my computer, but Plex Server lets you set up a DLNA server with one checkbox, which can stream from those hard drives to the headset on a 5G local network with zero lag, although I've only ever done it with 8K, with the max file size being about 40 GB.

I'm a lifetime subscriber to SexLikeReal and pretty much just Favorite videos on there, occasionally downloading one here or there that I want to keep, in case they take it down. My Watch Later playlist is 16 screens, to tell you how far behind I am. My Favorites playlist is only 12.

I used to sub once every month or so to at least one other site and download all of their new videos since the last time I had subbed, and watch them each night. But I don't watch enough now to do that. SLR gives me so much of their own content and content from other studios that I don't need anything else.

I use the DeoVR app to stream from SLR and to stream from my local server. SLR in the DeoVR app is seamless.

I love the idea of passthrough and once in a while, I'll see one that adds value that way, instead of seeming like a gimmick. But with the Quest 2, everything in my room is grainy black and white, so the brightly lit, full color, 3D woman really stands out that much more. I think it has real potential, but isn't there yet. But I've also yet to see it on a high end headset. Again, DeoVR handles these videos extremely well with SLR streaming. Local videos are almost as good. AI-converted passthrough videos are awful no matter which app you use.

That works if I wanted to only watch VR at home. Setting up a server just wasn't what I wanted to do. I didn't want something that was online all the time. But, it makes sense. But, I really wanted something I can travel with. With PICO, you can bring your headset and a few mini hard drives and it won't even require internet to watch. Just plug and play.

I'm also a bit of a "Catch em All" Collector for this stuff. For those multi site ones, I really only go for those for when they update their originals (povr SLR). I always check in on VRBangers, NaughtyAmericaVR, CzechVR, BadoinkVR, Virtual Taboo, and LethalHardcore. Some stuff on the multi sites are a few months behind.

More power to ya if you're savvy enough to set up a server, but with Pico, it's buy the headset and fill a portable hard drive. Also, download from the site as well.

Yeah, I get that. I've never actually traveled with my headset though. Pretty much any time I'm traveling, I'm either going to be in close proximity with family or going to be seeing one or more women where I'm at, so either way, I won't need to watch porn!

To me, SLR, VRSpy and Wankz are the best for camera angles that I enjoy. VRBangers pissed me off a couple of years ago when they changed their downloading rules so I've been ignoring them.

Setting up the server is actually pretty easy. If you ever decide to change/add to your setup or just give it a try, download and install Plex Server for free for PC/Mac. There shouldn't be any difficult configuration needed. Then find the DLNA setting and enable it. I know DeoVR and Skybox can both see the DLNA server, and likely other apps, too.
