LethalTV
Host-provided videos on the ship TV, synced for everyone and sent automatically to players who don't have them. Adds a TV remote with per-player volume.LethalTV
Play your own videos on the ship TV in place of the vanilla clips.
- Only the host needs the videos. Everyone needs the mod. Players who don't have a video download it from the host automatically, over the game's own connection. Downloads are cached, so the next session starts right away.
- Synced for everyone. The host decides what's on and everyone sees the same video at the same point. It works like live TV: videos keep playing while the TV is off, then move on to the next one.
- Vanilla controls still work. Press E on the TV to turn it on or off, like normal.
- TV remote (new). Use the keybinds below anywhere in the ship, or within 20 m of the TV:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
\ |
Power on/off |
[ / ] |
Previous / next video (synced for everyone) |
- / = |
Your volume down / up (only you hear the change) |
' |
Mute (only you) |
To rebind these, go to Settings → Change Keybinds.
Host setup
- Put your videos in
Videos\LethalTV(for exampleC:\Users\<you>\Videos\LethalTV). The folder is created the first time you launch with the mod. To use a different folder, setVideoFolderinBepInEx/config/brant.LethalTV.cfg. - Use H.264 video with AAC audio in an .mp4 for best results.
.webm,.mov,.m4v,.wmv,.avi,.mpgand.ogvmight also work. The log tells you if a file can't be played. - Host a lobby. Videos play in file name order. Set
Shuffle = trueto shuffle them instead.
Smaller files reach your friends faster. 720p at a few Mbps works well. Files you add while the game is running show up the next time you host.

Notes
- If the host has no videos, the TV plays the vanilla clips. The volume remote still works.
- While a video is still downloading, your TV screen stays dark. Look at the TV to see progress in its tooltip.
- The LAN mode transport is much slower at sending files than Steam lobbies.
