Hi,

So I've got some code up and running. I can get the hmd and the compositor and read off values. The values from the hmd update when I move it around and seem to work. Here's an example of printout:

------------------------------------------
hmd->IsHardwareConnected() = 1
hmd->IsHardwareReady()          = 1
comp->IsReady()                 = 1                         //With openGl this is 0
comp->GetSingleEyeResolution().x        = 1792   //With openGl this is 0
comp->GetSingleEyeResolution().y        = 2016   //With openGl this is 0
hmd->GetLastError() = 0
------------------------------------------
hmd->GetHMDPose()
acc.x   0.000141947
acc.x   -0.0330456
acc.x   -0.0330456
or.w   0.162455
or.x   -0.0113688
or.y   0.986563
or.z   0.0131979
------------------------------------------

 

But if i switch EFVR_GraphicsAPI from DirectX (default?) to OpenGl like the following:

// Code -------------------------------------------------------------------
Fove::SFVR_ClientInfo clientinfo;
clientinfo.api = Fove::EFVR_GraphicsAPI::OpenGL;  //Comment this line for default (DirectX)
comp = Fove::GetFVRCompositor(clientinfo);
// End Code -------------------------------------------------------------

...I start seing an error like this:

"Trying to connect to service as 079e33b7-a58a-41c5-aef3-4940297fed0d
InitiateConnection: Service refused connection
Trying to connect to service as 0ab0fffe-1bb2-4fb8-bd23-7aefba8fc085
InitiateConnection: Service refused connection
Trying to connect to service as 0419d3e1-2032-4ad3-807d-be0576642c42
InitiateConnection: Service refused connection
Trying to connect to service as fc016493-d073-4c08-9f4d-65cd1e184fbc
InitiateConnection: Service refused connection..."

The error is just repeated over and over again. I guess it's got to do with the compositor.

What does it mean and what am I doing wrong or can be done to fix it?

  Hi David,

  You are correct in your findings. At the moment we don't support OpenGL, yet. OpenGL support is still on our roadmap, but I can't provide you with an estimated release date, as of yet.

  Just a small update. Checking the log it says:

  "Trying to connect to service as ...
  InitiateConnection: Service refused connection
  REPORT: Denied incoming connection client using invalid API GraphicsAPI::OpenGL, ..."

   

  Does this just mean OpenGL isn't supported at all at this moment? And if so when will it be?
  Has anyone got OpenGL to work?

   

  Thanks,
  David

  Thanks Remco,

  In hindsight it's so obvious. Sorry I just assumed it OpenGL would work from the get go but I understand that DirectX is prioritized.

  Can we get a hint as to how it's going, is it weeks or months?

  Just trying to figure out if I should go for DirectX or just wait a while.

  It will definitely not be in our next release. So I don't expect it to be done within the coming weeks. I would suggest you use DirectX for the time being.

  Interesting to note is that if there is a lot of request from the community for a specific feature, its priority on our backlog can be increased. So please do give us feedback on what you guys want!
