Fairly solid so far, with a bunch of minor bugs that usually can be worked around and should get squashed in the next release. But, watching the latest episode of Masters of the Air, the display would black out (but with normal sound) randomly every few minutes. And not just for me. Several hits on the Apple site for the same thing in the same episode. Stopped and tried it on the Apple TV without problems, but moving from the goggles to a flat screen in a good movie is a major letdown.
Got a tip for us?

I have watched the last 3 episodes of Masters of Air on my VP with no issues.
Number 5. The current one. The first four play just fine. Both net connection and wifi are fast and far beyond what is needed for a mere 4k movie.
Tried number 5 again and same blanking so it is apparently the movie and not connections or hardware, but I can't even find a guess as to how such a problem could be triggering the VP and not the Apple TV.

You’re on 1.0.3? Have you tried fully rebooting the headset and trying again? And you have no SharePlay or any other display / window sharing going on elsewhere right?
Just me and the VP. Even the Studio is turn off. I have watched several more movies without issue, but I return to airplanes and that episode, and it fails. Has to be something in the movie. Not too worried about it. Waiting for a major update to VPOS.
