# OdinOnDemand
OdinOnDemand (OOD) adds several forms of multimedia to Valheim that allow
players to watch YouTube and direct video files on an in-game screen. The mod also contains a boombox that
can either play direct audio files, or SoundCloud links (with availability) -
and all of this is multiplayer compatible and seemingly relatively low-impact.

## Features
- Cinema screens
- Flatscreen TV, Table TV, Old TV, Laptop
- Audio Players
- Boombox
- Multiplayer functionality
- Audio Control (Client Side)
- Forward Tracking (Client Side)
This first release can be considered a beta as it has not been extensively tested. Please report any issues on
the github tracker.
## Installation
Installation of the plugin is fairly straightforward, just install into Bepinex/plugins or use r2modman.
See NodeJS Server Installation for YouTube functionality.
## Use
In game, place down a cinema screen or boombox. Every player costs 2 bronze currently. Interact with it to open the GUI.
For cinema screens, you must have
either a direct link to a remote or local video file of a
[compatible codec](https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/Manual/VideoSources-FileCompatibility.html)
or have the yt-dlp nodejs server installed and config enabled to support Youtube links.
In which case, you may use youtube/youtu.be links to watch Youtube videos and shorts. YouTube is not enabled
by default.
For boomboxes, you must have a direct link to a remote or local audio file of a
[compatible codec](https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/articles/206484803-What-are-the-supported-Audio-formats-in-Unity-)
or use a soundcloud.com link. Through testing I've noticed some SoundCloud songs are
unavailable. I think it depends on the artist and how they upload/license their art.
Local files are not synced over multiplayer.
Put the link into the input field and click set to set a file. Control playback
with play, pause, and stop. Press "Pickup" to remove the mediaplayer and refund materials.
Control individual player's volume with "+" and "-" and toggle mute with the "M" button on the overflow menu.
">" to track forward.
In the mod settings you can control master volume. This will affect every screen and boombox, be careful not
to set this too high.
All set file/play/pause/stop commands should be synced for multiplayer through RPC events. Volume and tracking are client sided. Tracking will de-sync. Screens do not currently check for sync or update to currently playing videos when connecting/loading new mediaplayers.
## NodeJS Server Installation
Setup of YouTube functionality is a little more involved and requires a bit of technical knowledge. See the GitHub page for information to set it up.

## Notes
I do plan on uploading the source code soon but
I welcome anyone to try and figure out how to get YoutubeExplode
or libvid to work in Valheim as I was unsuccessful.
