@DEC05EBA thank you.steam is installed and new problem now. ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/vrmonitor: error while loading shared libraries: libsteam_api.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@frat Your vr install is probably broken (or you haven't installed SteamVR driver in steam). Does SteamVR work in steam games for you?

@DEC05EBA,

I will contact you with the details at your email. Thanks again.

@mamusr I tested on kde and I have a nvidia graphics card and all those options work for me. Can you email me at

dec05eba at protonmail dot com

and then I can help you better? Also what vr headset are you using? did vr-video-player work for you sometime before? what program did you try to focus with --follow-focused?

mamusr commented on 2022-10-07 04:21 (UTC)

The plane option does not work either

Like follow-focused, it says 0 joysticks are available Picks up a window id before throwing a segmentation fault

mamusr commented on 2022-10-07 04:17 (UTC)

The program starts up when issuing vr-video-player --video path/to/video.mp4, but no video appears in the headset. SteamVR just shows the next up sign.

Correction. I am on SteamVR version 1.24.6.

I'll try the plane option.

Does the follow focused option work for you? That was my goto option before the recent update.

@mamusr Is it only crash when using the --follow-focused command? do any of these two commands work?

vr-video-player --plane $(xdootool selectwindow)

(if you have xdotool installed, and then click on the window to capture).

vr-video-player --video path/to/video.mp4

(give it a path to a video file to play)

Hello @DEC05EBA,

Yes. Whirligig and Half Life Alyx test fine in Steam VR.

I use KDE as the desktop environment and its included compositor KWin.

GPU is the RTX 3080 12gb.

Thank you for the prompt reply and program!

@mamusr it seems to work fine for me. Does other steamvr programs/games work for you? What desktop environment/window manager and compositor are you using? also what gpu are you using?
