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 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 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.
