Stellarium sky-box does not apply

If the date or location display in Stellarium is different from what you have set in dataset.txt, the situation is that arcAstroVR communication is not reaching Stellarium. Open Stellarium Settings > Plugins > Remote Control and check the following settings.
- Is "Load at startup" checked?
- Is "Server enabled" checked?
- Is "Enable automatically on startup" checked?
- Is the "Port Number" set to 8090?
Open Stellarium's image output destination and see if sky-box images are available.Win : C:/Users/<USERNAME>/AppData/Roaming/Stellarium/
Mac：/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Stellarium/ If the output is correct, there are six files: Unity1-north.png, Unity2-east.png, Unity3-south.png, Unity4-west.png, Unity5-top.png and Unity6-bottom.png.
If you do not see the above files present or updated, go to Stellarium Settings>Tools>Screenshots and check the following settings.
- Is the Screenshot Directory set to
  Win : C:/Users/<USERNAME>/AppData/Roaming/Stellarium/
  Mac : /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Stellarium/.
If Stellarium is completely in the background, it may go into Sleep mode and communication may not be possible. arcAstroVR should be placed so that part of Stellarium is always visible in the corner of the screen, not in full screen.
