Please(please and please) add seek\resume functions to FLV videos, without them we can't play long FLV movies, cause new\crashed people are joining and can't see playing video.
Thank you.

I plan to eventually, but I have been busy.

However, I have fixed the screen not working on PHX props (or pretty much any non-standard prop) in the [b]newtake branch[/b]. This version is quite different from 2.5 internally, but it should work the same as far as a user would see. However, there's no admin timeout nor is their media expiration in this version (yet).

Note that square screens still do not work (they work like widescreen). There are some serious screen tearing problems with the HTML control now (and the new way of drawing the screen) if you have square dimensions.

Help! When the server put PlayX and when the video begins to load, I crash the game, but the rest all right, what can I do?
(Sorry for my English, I used a translator)

[sk89q]

Some people have that problem and I don't know the cause. I already asked Garry and he said that he can't fix it, so it is Valve's problem.

[POPxCORN]

Ok.. thanks...

[aolko]

how to replay|pause youtube videos?

[sk89q]

That's not possible at the moment.

[sk89q]

I have potentially very good news.

For those who have the crash problem, try right clicking a Flash movie (outside game) and disabling hardware acceleration on the first tab.

There is also a updated version of gm_chrome floating around. I might re-add gm_chrome support back into PlayX (it's only a few lines of code to add).

This fix worked, thanks, I suggest you post this fix on your troubleshooting page.

[sk89q]

Yeah, I was waiting for someone to confirm it.

I'd like to thank [url=http://steamcommunity.com/id/markomare]Marko[/url] for figuring it out and telling me.

EDIT: Mare tells me to thank Python too.

[thewonkits]

I love you. A theatre game mode is now possible... This is so cool! Someone needs to make a sticky floor mod, and fold down seats.

[amplifier]

Well, at the moment, this mod is crashing my server, especially with shoutcast links.
Does this have a logging option to figure out the problem?

[sk89q]

And you are running a dedicated server?

[amplifier]

Sorry that i forgot to specify my problem^^

No, i'm hosting a listen-Server.
And in fact it crashes my hl2.exe.

PS: I tried to turning off Hardware Acceleration, but that nothing changed.

[sk89q]

I don't have another solution for you then, unfortunately.

[karbine]

How do I play live radio streams? I tried inputting the location directly and it doesn't work.

[sk89q]

What kind of radio streams? Shoutcast?

Give me a link.

[ryanfilps]

Is there anyway to allow a Darkrp job to sell all the different models of the repeater?

[sk89q]

No idea.

[thewonkits]

This is one of the most well-made addons I've ever seen. This is up there with the Stargate mod. Thank you so fucking much. I'm typing this with the Steam browser while A Goofy Movie is playing in the background. GM_Construct makes such a good theatre.

You are awesome.

So, hey.

[addons\ulib\lua\ulib\server\hook.lua:139] attempt to index local 'gm' (a nil value)

I get this error when I try to play anything on my listenserver, running standard sandbox.

Here's the code from the error reference.

local GamemodeFunction = gm[ name ]
if not GamemodeFunction then return nil	end

if ( type( GamemodeFunction ) ~= "function" ) then
Msg( "Calling Non Function!? ", GamemodeFunction, "\n" )
end

Any thoughts on what's happening?

You could start with updating ULib/ULX

Good point.
