[Release] video-stream - Watch videos with your friends

Description

Watch videos with friends in FiveM.

Stream from path or rtmp server

Install

Install should be handled by the yarn builder resource.
Add it to your server.cfg

If install fails you can do so manually with npm i and remove the yarn dependency from __resource.lua.

Config

Settings are in the .env file.

If you aren’t publishing from OBS you can disable the RTMP server RTMP_ENABLED=0
If you are, the github readme has more information.

  • PORT The port the http server should listen on (open this port)
  • RTMP_ENABLED Enable rtmp server for stream publish (i.e for OBS publish)
  • RTMP_PORT Port the optional rtmp server should listen on
  • RTMP_SECRET Auth param for stream publish.
  • STREAM_PATH RTMP stream path
  • FFMPEG_PATH (optional) path to the ffmpeg binary to use

Commands

  • video-stream:set “url” set stream url from path

Thanks m8 this looks so cool

How good is the quality? and Sync is it decent sync or what?

You provide it a source url or filepath and it gets converted with ffmpeg to mpeg1 and then streamed over websockets. It’s a stream, it’s synced… You’ll need to judge performance yourself.

You could use a youtube to mp4 site then stream that or add a browser instance to an obs scene.

Hello,
Who can be help me please ?

How would I change the screen to a smaller prop/object and move the object to somewhere such as sandy airfield? As I’ve been trying for about 30 minutes. (The prop I’m trying to change it to is prop_flatscreen_overlay)

It’s a nice script overall but just wanted to know how to do the above.

Suggestion: Add a volume difference so when you walk away the volume of the stream gets quieter.

prop_flatscreen_overlay uses tvscreen as it’s rendertarget. Follow the example in the Using render targets thread; swap the tv model in the example.

I’ll have a look at audio issues people may be having in the future but likely won’t be adding audio fading. Jsmpeg is potato not a music player.
