IT'S WORKING!!! Thank you so much again!!!!111111

But i wanna say that im using PlayX specifically because of the "fullscreen" feature that allows to play videos fullscreen for the whole RP server, just like Cutscenes. And i guess GIF format is the best, as it doesn't show a media player and also can play static images.

Also if i make every gif a 1024x512 i guess the black bars issue won't matter, so it's one more advantage of a gif.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANSWERING! I'm going to check the issue in 30 minutes and respond if it's fixed for me, brazilian brother!!!

For no black bars in image provider, send an image of 1024x512px: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3623809841

@Sayonara87: Image provider was broken, It is fixed now, but you may get some black bars depending on the size of the image and its aspect ratio: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3623781874

My ass hurts so much...
Im sorry, but how do i use the "Image" provider? Whenever i copy picture's URL, insert it and press "open media" i just get a black screen. Im on chromium and even installed a codec...

Does it mean i have the aforementioned bug?

@Sora, We need be in beta to PlayX to work as you can see in the top of the description. Sadly it seems to be a an eternal beta. Nothing I can do about it.

Originally forgot to comment, and then my comments got stuck pending. Support cleaned them up for me. Thanks for adding WebM support! I appreciate it!

Can confirm it just works for me. I'm in x86_64 beta without CEF patch. I didn't test without x86_64 beta so it might be a limitation if you're not in beta? Alternatively its likely a codec issue.

@craxxybraxxy you can test here: https://ziondevelopers.github.io/playx/host.html?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mediaelement/mediaelement-files/refs/heads/master/big_buck_bunny.webm replace the github one with yours if plays on the browser probably will play on PlayX on gmod too.

ok thank you

@craxxybraxxy, I tested again, is working just fine: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3616630077 if is not working for you, you are doing something wrong.

@craxxybraxxy, You can use any that is open to the internet, you can use apache if you want, but only you will see it. if is localhost.

what web service did you use? i was hosting the file off a apache2 server

@craxxybraxxy, PlayX don't play files directly from HD/SSD. You need it hosted on a webservice. I tested once and worked just fine.

I can directly link to a .webm file and it'll get recognized but it starts off paused and it doesn't unpause it/i can't play the video, It just shows an arrow. :P

@Sora, Done!, Thanks for your suggestion.

Can you add support for WebM file extension? They play without CEF patch but PlayX will not recognize it unless you rename it to ".mp4" it'll then recognize the file and play without issues despite wrong extension. This appears to be a limitation with recognized file types.

@ThatGuy420, Yes you do, because there is no way to login.

if i have yt premium do i still get ads

@TheCrazySkullX, No.

hey there, is there a way to change youtube's audio dub when watching a video?

@Salza, as I said, youtube-nocookie don't block all ads. I got your suggestion and now on PlayX it is using the embed from youtube-nocookie, but still there is ads. as you can see here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3567513183

so you rather watch unskippable 4min ads?

works for me, but alright i keep it private then

@Salza, and google gemini says: "No, the
youtube-nocookie.com domain does not completely eliminate ads" so there is no reason to do the change.

@Salza, if I change that it will disable a lot of features that our custom page have. I not comfortable with that. Sorry, cannot do.

can you change line 32 in lua\playx\providers\youtube.lua to local url = "https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/" .. uri .. "?rel=0&modestbranding=1&autoplay=1&controls=1&iv_load_policy=3&fs=0&enablejsapi=1&origin=" .. GetConVar("hostname"):GetString() it fixes ads

dang, still an amazing mod though 10/10

@Just A Mango, Sadly you don't yet.

how do i skip ads?

@craxxybraxxy, Basically it runs without the video, is more used for music videos, to only play the audio without the video.

what is "low framerate mode"?

GALO FRITO

@JAO, PlayX source é o player normal. você deve estar usando o repeater, pra usar o repeater você precisa primeiro usar o player normal. Creio que você esteja querendo tocar um video e não repeti-lo, então utilize o Player normal.

como baixa o play x source eu não encontrei

Thank you both!

@Your Tax, returns, No It should not.

No it shouldn't mess up other mods in fact shouldn't make them work better. Ik it does for me. Cuz the beta branch is more ig capable. Like with my 1k mods if I run them on the reg branch gnkd won't even load for me. But ij the beta it will. Beta is more ig optimized and better for performance since uts 64 bit while og is like 32 bit. So yeah beta shouldn't break stuff but make things run better. Hope this helps. Sorry for texting alot. Just trying to help. ^^

Might be a silly question, but does switching to the beta mess up other mods downloaded before the beta switch?

@JJ, No its not possible. The JS/CSS/HTML files are hosted on github, need to be remote files. If you want play local files, install IIS, Apache or Lighttp and host it locally.

It simply makes no sense to play videos locally. No one else can see it except you

Local playback might be possible, i may be wrong but i think the issue a lot of people encounter is that GMOD can't pull file paths from outside the gmod folder but multiple radio mods work fine just by creating a sound folder inside the gmod folder.

Person down there never said impossible just said nkt easy task at very least add all the like providers and styff that has to be possible right?

@Cherrie_The_Shifter ΘΔ Is it possible to install a CAT C18 industrial engine in a motorcycle?

oof, damn, hell even could merge play x into media player where he dont ig gotta work in play x idk, wish it was possible and could be done, both have stuff better than each other and wish could have both, but as same ig, yk, Anwyays Yeah

@Cherrie_The_Shifter, That is not an easy or simple task. And Shadowsun already said that he is not interested in working in PlayX.

Okay, what if you merge this and all it features and what it supports into the media player updated version made by shadowsun, like work together, make the best media player mod, that would be amazing tbh, plz thx

@Shadowsun™ Thanks for your help.

@Shadowsun™, Can't use custom Player to avoid ads, Google every 6 months review PlayX for API Quota. If they see that i'm blocking their ads they can shutdown our api key and nobody can play youtube videos anymore. The solution is make the screen clickable like Sam's Media Player, But I don't have a clue of how to do it....

@the funny, Fullscreen is F11. If you don't like ads, complain to google, Nothing I can do about it.

this thing sucks, even when i make it work it just covers my whole screen and gives me ads, fix your godd*mn addon
