Is there a Rift Plugin for Youtube 3D videos?

There is a way to make it work. You set the video at side by side, and use a Oculus overlay.

I heard a wild rumour that a future release of VRPlayer will be able to stream directly from YouTube. Then you'd get not just the warp, but you could also adjust the horizontal offset to get the convergence right.

As it is currently, the YouTube 3D videos are converged for desktop viewing, and won't work in Rift - you'd have to cross (diverge?) your eyes pretty hard to make it work.

Or shrink the player window to bring the image centers closer together. I viewed 3D youtube videos in my Rift with great success this way. In a web browser window, you can shrink the embedded video with Ctrl-mousewheel. And if the video used fisheye lenses, even better...

Also there are plenty of videos out there shot with the rift overlay already on them, in which case all you have to do is put on your rift
