Status
This addon is finished (Maintenance Mode).
Only bug fixes and small updates when needed. No fixed update schedule.

1. Conflicts
This addon does not work with the original Media Player or any other version of it.
You must disable all other Media Player addons before using this one.
If you don’t, you will get errors and nothing will work correctly.

2. Setup
• On Windows, YouTube, SoundCloud, WebM, images and normal audio work right away.
• Everything else needs the x86-64 BETA branch + GModPatchTool.
Guides: Windows · MacOS · Linux · Proton

• Linux / MacOS only: Add this to your Steam launch options:
GMOD_ENABLE_LD_PRELOAD=1 %command%

Use Proton 11 or newer if possible.
We do not support Linux or MacOS. Use at your own risk.

3. White / Black Screen or Page Not Loading
If the media player shows a white or black screen and nothing loads, this is almost always a problem on your side (internet provider, antivirus, firewall, VPN or adblocker).

What you can try:
• Change your DNS to Cloudflare → 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
• Or install and use Cloudflare WARP

We do not provide support for these problems.
If it still does not work after trying the above, it is not something we can fix.

i just wanted to say thank you for still maintaining this addon updated, you'd be surprised by how much better videos work/sync better here rather than VRChat own video player.
this addon is the reason i still open gmod to watch vids with friends, thanks again :db_heart:

At the end of the day, it's always a network issue, but everyone points the finger at the add-on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not trying to spam, but i got my mod to work. I needed Cloudflare for it to work properly. For anyone reading this in the us this could be a fix for you.

@nikolas
I'll keep this brief, since I can't rule out any possibilities based on what you've said

- Have you disabled the original add-on and any similar ones?
- Have you tried disabling everything and using just Media Player?
- Are you using the 64-bit beta and GmodPatchTool?
- Have you tried using an alternative DNS server, such as Cloudflare?
- Is your local internet service provider blocking websites?

Even though this is only the case for a very small number of people, I've noticed that most of those having problems are from the U.S.

It's not necessarily a feature, but rather an indication that the Media Player was unable to validate the video ID for you YouTube video. If you could tell me which video you were trying to request, I could see if the error can be resolved.

Got Rickrolled once by this addon. That's a feature, right?

@hollyBloxy I've already answered this twice—this add-on is open source, and anyone can contribute to it. I won't do anything I'm not familiar with, and in my opinion, that's not the focus of this add-on either.

I might've asked this before here, but would Wiremod compatibility ever be considered for this addon? That being, wire inputs/outputs for the media link, video name, paused, etc.?

It's working now. Thank you for the update:steamthumbsup:
