OdinOnDemand (OOD) adds several forms of multimedia to Valheim that allow players to natively watch YouTube as well as direct video files on in-game screens. The mod also offers two types of musicplayers that can play YouTube, SoundCloud links, as well as direct audio files -- additionally, all of this is multiplayer compatible and seemingly relatively low-impact.

ValMedia recommends playing without bloom while watching for the best viewing experience.

Due to Valheim's recent upgrade to Unity version 2020.3.45, you may experience crashes during video playback because of a new VideoPlayer bug. This may be related to MP4 files. We recommend utilizing VP8 codec videos (webm) or MP3/SoundCloud options as a temporary measure. If a fix is discovered an update will be pushed out, otherwise we're waiting for another Unity update. Apologies for any inconvenience. - ValMedia

Installation

Installation of the plugin is fairly straightforward, just install into Bepinex/plugins or use r2modman. It must be installed on both server and client.

Use

MediaPlayers
In game, place down a cinema screen or radio. Interact with it to open the GUI.

Remote Playback
You can paste direct links into the URL field to play online remote files. The linked file should be of a compatible codec.You can also paste youtube/youtu.be links and the plugin will process this for you on both cinema screens and radios.
Radios have the added ability to play audio files of compatible codecs, as well as soundcloud.com links - some SoundCloud songs are unavailable, depending on the artist and how they upload/license their art.

Local Playback
Mediaplayers can also play files from your computer's local filesystem. You can use absolute and relative path lookup for local files.
Absolute path lookup includes a drive letter, and is not synced over multiplayer unless players have identical file path
structures (which is unlikely). For example, C:\videos\bunny.mp4 or file://C:\videos\bunny.mp4
Relative path lookup begins searching for files from Bepinex's plugin folder. Relative path lookup must include prefix local:// or local:\\To load files from the plugin's folder, identify your media location - for example, the OOD plugin folder name. For r2modman installations, it's usually "ValMedia-OdinOnDemand" - here the path would belocal://Valmedia-OdinOnDemand/media.mp4 ^^ insert this into the URL field in-game.This would translate into F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\Valmedia-OdinOnDemand\media.mp4 or wherever the user's Valheim installation may reside.

You can bundle video files with your modpacks or instruct Vikings to place files in appropriate locations for easier synced local playback.
Autoplay them in-game for events and lore and more. You can pull from anywhere in the local plugin folder.

Youtube Playlists
Mediaplayers have support for Youtube playlists. When a playlist is set, new info will appear in the UI. The Viking who initially sets the playlist handles playlist logic, so if they leave the area or disconnect playlist playback will stop. It is multiplayer synced. Do not skip through tracks too fast. You can choose to shuffle or loop the playlist. If looping, the whole playlist will loop - not individual videos. If autoplay enabled, the last video played will be saved as the autoplay video when the Viking unloads the mediaplayer object.

Remote Control
Mediaplayers can be controlled from a distance with a remote control. A remote control can be crafted with 1 bronze. Simply equip, point at a Mediaplayer and click.
Config options include key configs, max controller distance, and an option to make remote control access private.

Locking
Mediaplayers can be locked in the top right corner of the menu. When a Mediaplayer is locked, Vikings can only access it if they have access
to the private area created by a Ward.
Admins can lock down mediaplayers from the cog menu, preventing normal Vikings from interacting with specific screens.

Additional Options
The cog button in the bottom right displays extra options. Options for autoplay, admin only access, listening distance and master volume exist here.
Autoplay does not currently support playlists. If a viking is playing a playlist with autoplay enabled and unloads the mediaplayer object, the autoplay video will be set to the last played video.
Autoplayed videos are not synced. Vikings will load videos upon mediaplayer load-in.

• Master volume controls the overall volume level for that type of mediaplayer, from every single mediaplayer. It is a client sided option
  designed to allow Vikings to mute or boost audio for mediaplayers to their personal liking.
• Listening distance is a multiplayer synced parameter that changes how far away audio is heard from individual
  mediaplayers. This can be limited in the plugin's config, which is not enforced on admins.

Default values and client sided master volume values can also be changed in the config.
Most features are synced over multiplayer through RPC events.Volume and tracking are client sided. Tracking will de-sync.
Screens do not currently check for video sync or update to currently playing videos when connecting/loading new Mediaplayers (unless autoplay is enabled and a video is set)

Recipes

Recipes can now be tweaked through a json file located at BepInEx\config\com.ood.valmedia.recipes.json, the mod will automatically
make this. However the default recipe file can be found here if needed.
Some helpful links to help you edit this file are here
Beautify/Validate JSON
Valheim Item List
Avoid changing item names. If you have any issues keep in mind you can delete your .json file and the mod will re-create it with default
values.
The remote control recipe can't be tweaked yet, you can always use a mod like WackysDB for the time being.


Known Issues

• Unity crashes, see above notice.
  
• Boomboxes are currently difficult to place. Just.. keep trying. They place easier on terrain it seems. I'm not quite sure why this is
  happening. Gramophones are not affected

If you have V-Sync force enabled in your GPU driver control panel, the mod apparently will not function. 



If the mod fails to play any sort of video file, not just YouTube, check your Player.log. If there are errors about Direct3D and refresh rate / v-sync you may have to do this. Please check your GPU driver's control panel and make sure the vertical sync setting is either identical your in-game settings or set to "match application setting"

Build by DanAugust Last picture is with backlight setting turned off.

For any tech-savvy Vikings out there, there is a backup YouTube api that can be self hosted using Node and youtube-dl. This is completely optional and not required as long as the built in library is maintained (YouTubeExplode)
