Media Player (Fixed edition)

Description
This is a unofficial release of the rarely updated Media Player addon, the focus here is to keep the Media Player updated as possible.

Supported services
  • YouTube with Ad-Blocker (Beta)
  • Twitch
  • Dailymotion
  • Internet Archive
  • File URL (MP4, WEBM, Audio, Images)

Key Information
  • Compatibility: Ensure you are using the Chromium, x86-64 version of Garry's Mod.
  • Uninstall: Please uninstall the original addon by Sam, as it is not compatible with this version.
  • Credits: All rights go to the original addon creator and contributors over the years.

Important Notes
  • Long-term support for YouTube may be challenging due to ongoing technical changes by YouTube, which can lead to issues.
  • If you see a white page after a YouTube ad or a Fullscreen ad, simply reload the player. we cannot solve this problem from our side.
  • Local videos on the computer cannot be played, consider uploading it somewhere.

Fixes and Updates
  • GMod Developers' Fixes: The GMod developers are actively working on fixes. This cannot be resolved solely by the mod author.
  • Branch Requirement: This addon no longer works on the default version of Garry's Mod. You need to switch to the x86-64 branch. Note that this branch is under active development and may cause your game to crash. Follow the guide on the Facepunch Wiki[wiki.facepunch.com] to switch to the 'dev' branch, but select x86-64 instead.
  • YouTube Support: YouTube has stopped supporting old video encodings used by GMod. The GMod devs are updating the game to use Chromium/CEF. You can track progress in the #next-update channel of the GMod Discord.

Additional Requirements
  • CEFCodecFix: You will need to install the CEFCodecFix. Choose the right guide for your operating system:

    Windows
    MacOS
    Linux
    Proton

@ThunderCutt - You won't be able to play the videos from your computer, how are the others supposed to see it? You have to upload them somewhere that allows direct playback over the internet, without any detours in between. So no video players or embedded on pages. A good example are sites like BunnyCDN,
5centsCDN or simply on a web host that you rent. However, these providers are chargeable and should only be used by experienced users. The primary purpose of the File URL service is actually to play smaller videos that you may have received via e.g. Discord or similar.

Nothing can be done because of YouTube's bot detection, VPN users are excluded from YouTube.

to be honest youtube bot detection has became worse

you cant watch youtube on private mode browser without account

CAN you fix it

@Cherrie_The_Shifter ΘΔ - Of course it is needed, not that I have heard that it should not be used. A lot of things just need it, so livestreams like YouTube Live or Twitch

I'm already on the 64bit version

@Umby 2025 - What about switching the game to the beta x64 bit version? Did you do it before?
