The default media player isn't great for movies. What is the best way to watch movies loaded to your Q3? (lemmy.lukeog.com)

Like the title says. I think the default media player is far too curved for enjoying a movie, and the fact you can't dim light around the screen is annoying as well. What is the best app to watch movies you've loaded directly to your Q3?

TheRainmakerDM: I prefer Skybox, but Bigscreen is good too.

MasterChiefmas: I also prefer Skybox, and they just added the ability to play from USB connected devices too, which is nice.

severanexp: Big screen is free and plays basically everything h265 but if you still have h264 media then some codecs might act up. Skybox plays everything I throw at it fine.

Food_Library333: Big screen is pretty cool. I put myself in a movie theater with stadium seating.

ObserverVR: Skybox VR, it even has support for USB flash drives, so you don't have to use your Quests storage to store movies!

yakuzakid3k: Bigscreen is essential for movies. DeoVR for prn.

Temporary-Research75: 4XVR for watching ISOs ripped from blu-rays. This is easily the best way to watch movies I've discovered on the Quest.
