Videos are not playing because of a problem with the Youtube API

I'm having this same issue as well

The reason you can't request videos is that the Youtube API isn't being paid for any more from what i can tell, if you want to request/query Youtube video/s using the API you are going to have to sign up and create a project and get an API key for the "Youtube Data API", you should be able to do this on the google developer console/site but from what i remember you have to pay per query using the API not sure tho, you should be able to change your API key somewhere in the cinema gamemode in that services area

Switch Gmod to the x86-64 branch and launch in 64-bit mode.

now how do i even start playing the videos i cant find any way to start playing a video in the theater it just dosnt work

I ran into this issue myself on my server a year ago.

It isn't because the api isn't paid for - you only pay for api integration with custom programs and hardware manufacturing (like smart devices.) It's because the gamemode comes with an API key. It's been used by default by so many servers, that it reaches its limits of use per-day everyday at practically every hour.

Easily fix it by:
1) navigate to Steam's install directory and edit:
"steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\gamemodes\cinema\gamemode\modules\theater\services\youtube_sh.lua" - there is an API value in this file... you'll need to change that with an api key (keep reading)

2) Follow these steps from Google's Youtube api key setup[developers.google.com] and place the Api key you create in the lua file you opened previously.

For the flash issue... you will need to:

• Download flash for Chromium.[get.adobe.com]
• right-click on gmod in steam and click "properties" and make sure you have x86-64 build selected. Gmod uses Chromium to display some kinds of videos. Chromium relies on flash to complete this functionality in game.

All of the videos albeit switch, youtube - whatever - they use javascript functions. Flash is required for youtube, but isn't required for all of the video services.


You may need to restart both server and all clients might have to restart for it to be reflected on your server.

Doesn't the x86-64 build of gmod use HTML5 instead of flash?

The 86-64 build has Chormium built into it which has the ability to play both flash and html5 content.... but more importantly it uses the Chromium browser and not Awesomium, which you need in either case for cinema to work. But it is a prerequisite still for this gamemode in order for videos to work in most cases.

Man, can you help me? For me, the folder "Cinema" in Gamemode don't exist

Hey Sassi. You'll have to unsubscribe from cinema and then download from Github... the gamemode folder wont have cinema in it if you just subscribe. You'll have to download it in the event that your hosting a server
