Media Player (Updated Edition)

Description
This is a unofficial release of the rarely updated Media Player addon, the focus here is to keep the Media Player updated as possible.      WITHOUT WARRANTY

Supported services
Here is a list of services that are officially supported here. Note that you need the x86-64 beta branch as a minimum requirement and also pay attention to the small asterisks (*)
  • YouTube with Ad-Blocker (Beta)
  • TikTok* (Beta)
  • Twitch*
  • SoundCloud (Beta)
  • Dailymotion*
  • Internet Archive*
  • Google Drive*
  • File URL (MP4*, WEBM, Audio, Images)
    * These services require the GModPatchTool / CEF Codec Fix

How to set up (Basic)
If it is not set up properly, not a single page will work, as Garry's mod uses a very outdated browser engine called Awesomium to solve the problem, please follow these easy steps.
  1. Close Garry's Mod
  2. Right click Garry's Mod in library
  3. Select "Properties"
  4. Go to "BETAS" tab
  5. Select drop-down menu "Chromium + 64-bit binaries"


Getting other services to work (Advanced)
So far only the basic services (YouTube, SoundCloud, ...) works with the Chromium branch, the other services need a patch that you make with an external program, this is needed to support more video formats and make livestream possible. Here you can find video instructions for your operating system: Windows, MacOS, Linux or Proton

Important Notes
  • Please uninstall the original addon by Sunabouzu, as it is not compatible with this version.
  • All rights go to the original addon creator and contributors over the years.
  • Long-term support for YouTube may be challenging due to ongoing technical changes by YouTube, which can lead to issues.
  • Local videos on the computer cannot be played, consider uploading it somewhere.
  • In some countries there may be strict censorship and sites may be completely blocked. This addon is not responsible for that.
  • TV Props addons are supposed to work

YES "Media Player - Extended Props" WILL WORK WITH THIS ADDON.

Issues
  • YouTube will not work with VPNs and will prompt you with the message “sign in to show you're not a Bot”. Add Garry's mod to the exception list (split tunneling) of your VPN clients, nothing else can be done about it.
  • YouTube will not be able to play age-restricted videos.
  • people report black or white screens, so far the cause is not known.
  • not all videos from tiktok will work.
  • LambdaPlayers is not compatible and never will be

If you like the addon I would be happy about a 👍 and if you want you can also give some awards

Getting this error whenever requesting media, another person in the server can request a video and it will pop up but not me. Any fix?
