ClipLink Media for BONELAB

ClipLink Media v4.0.0 is an all-in-one Windows PC BONELAB MelonLoader mod. It keeps the complete YouTube-to-MP4 workflow and adds a separate general BONELAB utility toolbox with session information, timers, notes, counters, random tools, local audio/FPS controls, reports, and clipboard helpers.

General BONELAB utility toolbox

• Session dashboard: clock, scene, uptime, measured FPS, headset position, session report, and device report.
• Stopwatch and timers: start/pause/reset stopwatch plus 1/5/10/15-minute countdowns.
• Notes and tally: save a personal note across launches and keep a persistent counter.
• Dice and random tools: coin flip, D6, D10, D20, 1-100, and yes/no.
• Local audio and FPS: mute/25%/50%/75%/100% volume, 72/90/120/unlimited target FPS, and VSync on/off.
• Clipboard helpers: copy local or UTC timestamps, the current scene, headset position, or a complete session report.
• Notification tester: test information, success, warning, and error popups.

The utility controls are local. They do not grant Fusion permissions, affect other players, or change network ownership.

Use with Media Player

1. Open ClipLink Media in BoneMenu and choose YouTube browser - no login.
2. Select Search, type a search, press Enter, and choose Search YouTube.
3. Select a video title. Its YouTube link is copied automatically.
4. Return to the main ClipLink page and turn on I own / have permission.
5. Optionally choose MP4 quality and Public-link expiry.
6. Choose Make public MP4 URL.
7. Wait for the completion notification. The direct MP4 URL is now in the Windows clipboard.
8. Paste that URL into the mod.io Media Player, including while using Fusion.

The browser uses signed-out public requests: no Google login, cookies, or API key are used. It shows clickable video titles instead of embedding the complete YouTube site. Open YouTube on desktop is available as a fallback.

The mod does not patch or redistribute Media Player. It prepares and copies a compatible direct link for you to paste into Media Player.

Fusion OWNER tag

Players who install ClipLink Media see a gold OWNER label above the creator's avatar in Fusion. The label is a separate local visual: it does not change the creator's Fusion nickname, and players without this mod installed will not see it.

The OWNER label is cosmetic only. It does not grant server ownership, host controls, moderation permissions, or any gameplay advantage.

Install yt-dlp from GitHub

The Thunderstore package does not bundle another project's executable. Download the official Windows file from GitHub: Download yt-dlp.exe. The ClipLink v4.0.0 GitHub release also keeps the same verified file as a separate yt-dlp.exe asset. Do not add the EXE to the Thunderstore ZIP.

In BoneMenu, choose Setup and folders, then Open ClipLink folder. Move the downloaded yt-dlp.exe into that folder. The full path normally ends in UserData/ClipLinkMedia/yt-dlp.exe. Get yt-dlp from GitHub opens the official download directly, and Check setup confirms when it is found.

Installation

Import the ZIP with Thunderstore Mod Manager or copy its contents into the BONELAB installation folder. The package contains the mod DLL and required Thunderstore metadata; it contains no EXE.

Required: MelonLoader, BoneLib, Fusion, and a separately downloaded yt-dlp.exe. The Media Player content pack is separate.

Only download and publicly upload videos you own or have permission to use. ClipLink Media has a 1 GB safety limit, and temporary Litterbox links expire at the selected time. YouTube account-only, DRM-protected, age-restricted, or unavailable videos may fail.
