I got Stremio → 4XVR streaming working on Galaxy XR using a small relay app
I got a pretty useful Galaxy XR media workflow working and wanted to share the use case.
Problem: the normal 2D Stremio app works on Galaxy XR, but sending videos to 4XVR as an external player was not possible as 4XVR would not appear as a player.
The workaround I tested is a small Android relay app:
Stremio → 4XVR Relay → 4XVR
The relay registers itself as a generic external video player, receives the stream intent from Stremio, then forwards it to 4XVR’s file-load Activity. For some streams, simply forwarding the intent was not enough, so the useful version acts as a local proxy and gives 4XVR a cleaner local URL like a normal .mp4 or .mkv video.
Current use case:
- Use Stremio in 2D mode on Galaxy XR.
- Enable external player playback.
- Select the relay app.
- Relay forwards/proxies the stream into 4XVR.
- 4XVR handles the immersive/VR playback side.
What is still not perfect:
- VR mode detection may depend on filename markers like
VR180,360,SBS,TB, etc.
This is not a full native Stremio VR port. It is more of a bridge that makes the existing 2D Stremio app more useful with 4XVR on Galaxy XR.
LE: The app is currently in the process of being published to the App Store. In the meantime, you can try it out here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GUzYq1hu0sJcfSakmSzNt438d3ow0BNQ/view?usp=drive_link
