It must meet certain criteria, otherwise it will not be played. Firstly, GmodPatchTool must be used (see workshop description). Secondly, the source must have direct access without a download portal or similar, i.e. as if you were viewing an image directly in your browser.

Is there anyway to disable the media source is not supported? It's just a direct mp4 link, there shouldn't be any issues, right?

Are you absolutely sure you updated the add-on? Have you uninstalled the original addon?

I'm in the united states and it still doesn't work

@Smak, An update (actually several attempts) has been released to solve the problem. Please write here if it happens again. Cloudflare networks are severely disrupted due to Russian Inter Providers and this will remain the case for a long time.

as I understand it, everyone from Russia or Belarus (which is not involved in any conflicts) still can't use the media player, I have a white screen on the video

i just watched a full 2 hour video essay on gmod, wow.

wait, it works even the module wasnt updated https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3567949641

@Nina_Mercer there's a yermash fork that is still updated. Also, here's the source code for the media players module https://github.com/IcyStarFrost/lambda-mediaplayer-module

@omniversequirk, Please update your addon, or if you are a server owner who has uploaded the add-on to the server.

Changes have been made to where and how the website data is now hosted. This has been done for performance reasons and to maintain a separate developer account for open source projects.

for more clarification:
It said that the github requester was having 404 errors, then when I tried to get a url manually, it said youtube was having an SSL error

Yeah, i'm assuming lambda players specifically wants IDs unique to the original media player addon, and to get it working it would have to be a collaborative effort between the lambda players creator and the guys working on this one. That's just what I assume though, I might be wrong.

Iirc, lambda players is no longer being maintained, right? So it's probably not gonna happen unless someone else picks it up to make like, omega players or something.

can you please add a vote skip option where if majority votes then the video gets skipped

That's a shame, thanks for the explaining

Simply put, Lambda players are not real players and only pretend to be. However, in technical terms, the way the media player is programmed does not guarantee that API or metadata queries will work, as they are executed on the player/client.

question, why can't lambda players work with this addon? Just curious since the description said it can't

You have a better chance of finding a solution on their Discord.

i already post a issue on github but they didnt respond yet

out of the topic but have you had any huge performance drop issue after installing GModPatchTool
cuz im have that issue, any settings i need to config to fix this problem (OS:Windows 11)?

update didnt download, say "file corrupted"

You removed the original addon before this message came up, didn't you?

ok maybe it doesnt if i use normal media player but it still brings this error

can somebody explain this? i tried to add a video

@ExceptionErrorAlex thank you for your feedback, things/mistakes happen. I feel as if the description is quite clear and well outlined. none the less is no biggie.

@Daniel Betjko Adds are mostly blocked doing it in a odd way, but there isnt much we can do for it. if an add starts to play at all turn the player off and back on again by pressing e and the add will no longer be there.

so is there no ads anymore? because I want to watch a video at the same exact moment

@shadowsun sorry, i did look through the description but missed that part because it wasnt well accentuated/highlighted. maybe add that info to the disclaimer at the top? i didnt mean to frustrate u.

And, of course, google drive is by the same company.

What site can you put videos on? I mean, I know there's youtube, but I don't really want to deal with youtube's BS.

@ExceptionErrorAlex. Twitch does not query any metadata, you forgot to disable the original Media Player add-on. Otherwise conflicts may appear, this is also stated in the description.

Unfortunately, I find it sad how people subscribe to an add-on without reading the description and then report that x does not work.

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 says i gotta log in to confirm im not a bot??

how do you skip ads after a video ends, making it so only the ad's audio plays with no visual or skip button

@MERCY_ALL just turn your own bloom down lol with the console command mat_bloomscale 0

This probably isn't possible, but is there a way you could remove bloom on the media player, to possibly fix having to much bloom to read little text, maybe a Console Variable.

There is no support or compatibility for the Lamda Players add-on. This is also mentioned in the workshop description.

does it supports Lambda Players & the Media Player Module?

Subtitles should actually be switched off by default, there is no built-in Option for this. Try switching off the subtitles manually on the YouTube request page (on the video self).

awesome mod, but (on youtube) captions are on and i havent found a way to turn them off, if its possible, how do i turn it off?

Ah so im not the only one who wonder if you could watch you know lol

Well I just tried using it with the module and there was no problems on my end they still put on the same hl2 shit and kitty0706 vids

does this being incompatible with lambda players mean that it breaks when used with it or that that lambda player module just wont work

@Nina_Mercer, I'm sorry but this is not possible, this is also explicitly noted in the description.

Can you also add an option to play video files that are just on your pc, if it doesn't already exist?

The real question is how did a lamdba dev create a module to make the npcs work with the original media screens

@The_Horde Theoretically a sign in is possible to save, and be safe and trust worthy. i been experimenting with this for a internet browser addon i somewhat recently got access to, im now one of the devs, ive rewrote it, and made it better and been looking to add a way to cache things save cookies, bookmarks, and logins, and make it like super super safe, by default i would alos not find sign in to be that safe but, it can be made to be safe. my mod here is legit just ui, just an interface that can do nearly all a regular browser can, and using codec fix it can play anything, like Netflix, ig phub and other, everything. so yeah and no for signing it:3

Theoretically, I could implement it, but it's best if you stop gooning around :3

is there pornhub or jerkmate plz i want more info

Lucky so its legit like incognito mode?

@The_Horde nothing is saved or cached, its legit just a panel for the player that re-directs to the site you pick, eg youtube, only people with your info is youtube, same as using your browser.
