I already have my apps published on XBOX One, Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Android and iOS.
Now I want to publish my app on Oculus.

So, your all the points are already I have achieved.

My question is related to development. I am a developer and want to implement a Unity 3D VR app for Oculus.

So, can anybody guide me on that. Is any Unity 3D sample is avaiable where we have app menu, grid(display video content, have data from server) and on click of any video 360 video player.
or ListView examples are available?

Actually I am a beginner for Unity 3D. So, I am not able to start my development.

Start the same way you’ve started with other new tools. Unity has official tutorials in addition to documentation. Feel free to jump around between the various media in whatever way you’re comfortable and able to handle.

Building a Netflix-style streaming app for Oculus VR is definitely doable, but it adds extra complexity compared to regular OTT apps especially with immersive playback, 360° video support, and device compatibility.

You’ll still need the core setup like video hosting, encoding/transcoding, DRM security, and a scalable backend. Instead of building a video streaming app from scratch, many go with OTT platforms that already handle these essentials and then extend them for VR.

Something like VPlayed can be useful here since it provides the core streaming infrastructure, and you can focus more on building the VR experience layer on top of it.
