WATERViSION: VideoPlayer
by SrRapero720
WATERViSION: VideoPlayer plays full screen videos for chosen players after a single command, using the URL of a direct video file.
What it does
WATERViSION: VideoPlayer is a temporary stand-in for the earlier video mod of the same kind, letting a player or server show full screen videos in the game by typing a command. The video is streamed from a direct link to a file ending in .mp4 or .webm, which must be wrapped in quotes in the command. Volume, playback speed and whether the video stretches to fill the screen are set as command arguments, and the targets argument chooses which players see it.
The playback engine is WATERMeDIA, which relies on VLC. Installing the mod requires Fabric API and WATERMeDIA: Multimedia API on every loader. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the latest builds targeting 1.21.5 and 1.21.1, and older files for 1.20.1. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Commands run with operator permission level 4 by default. The license is custom, and the mod is not open source; its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Full screen video command
The /video command plays a video for the given players, with the URL, volume, speed and stretch options as arguments.
Volume and speed control
Volume is set from 0 to 120 and playback speed in a range of 0.1 – 2.0, so the same clip can be adjusted per call.
Stretch to fit
A true or false argument decides whether the video is stretched to cover the whole screen or keeps its proportions.
Targeted playback
The targets argument selects which players receive the video, so one player or a whole group can be chosen.
