Description
Working/scripted home cinema that plays back your YouTube videos!
With the tablet plugin being updated this mod has been rendered broken indefinitely as it is (to my knowledge) no longer possible to spoof the autoplay policy. You can still use it in !tablet mode or as a 3D environment, but this mod will no longer receive support or updates.

Uses PHP+JS scripts for hassle free embeds and autoplay, reflection probe trickery to make the scene lighting react to the content that's playing (rtx on, requires shadow quality high-ultra). Chat commands to control playback, do !play followed by a youtube link (as a separate messsage) to play a video.

This is an early beta version that is subject to change. Please let me know of any features you would like to see, as well as any bugs you've caught, in the comment section below.

Current to-do:
- Scripted drinks and popcorn
- !goto and miscellaneous browsing commands - Added
- !tablet mode - Added
- Better tooltips to eliminate command confusion - Added

Frequently Asked/Preemptively Answered Questions

Q: How do I control the volume?
A: The tablet runs an application in the background called "ZFGameBrowser" which shows up in the volume mixer. This volume slider only affects audio from the tablet (and by extension the cinema).

Q: My YouTube link is not working, why!?
A: The embed is picky with links and currently doesn't support playlists or extras. Format your links like this "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" without & and anything trailing behind it.

Reply to multiple comments:

Autoplay policy is a web standard that prohibits videos from autoplaying with sound, which makes this type of interfacing breaky as it requires a human to interact with the browser (tablet) for video with audio to play. The only way this can work is by shoving an oversized tablet in to the wall to take the screens place, which was already an available option with the !tablet command.

Autoplay policy is a good thing and this method of interfacing was just the result of exploiting the bug in which autoplay policy was broken on a previous Chromium build (tablet browser version).

While it's possible to still play videos with sound, it requires clunky interaction where each player has to interact with the tablet, because it runs locally for each player. Intuitive usability is a big priority in my mod design, so clunky workarounds like the aforementioned is not how I wish to distribute something.

Really wished this still worked, I understand why it doesn't (I think) but it was nice while it lasted.

I'm curious, there's a mod that allows you to project things. Could that be used to project the video to the screen area?

Oh dear. In case it does end up being un-fixable I'd like to say thank you for making such a cozy mod in the first place and I wish ye the best in future endeavors.

I suspect this is because of the tablet being updated to a later version of chromium that handles autoplay policy like it should, which unfortunately means that this mod is going to be broken indefinitely.
