Gizmo, consider adding a Video Player Plug in.

@Gizmo you used to have a porn player to Redtube.  It is understandable why you don't provide this anymore since it was 3DX providing it.  However, to make a video playing plug in is by no means illegal. There is plenty of free content that can be hosted royalty free. Sure it is lame mostly, but it does exist There are even free plug-in's for Unity..  PLUS, under DMCA and section 230 you should have no liability if "johnny made a theater that played the latest movies." That would be on Johnny not you. You aren't the publisher of it. (sorta why Facebook and Twitter are going to eventually lose section 230 immunity as they have become publishers by censoring content on their platform)  Older worlds have been allowing it for over a decade.

Johnny could play royalty free stuff.  PLUS, johnny pasting a link into a player app you enable would put it on johnny. Same as Dj's hosting personal stream now. And even johnny might only get a take down notice as long as the link was not on his servers but some third party. Even youtube videos can be played. The issue of what is royalty free is not your worry.  It would add a HUGE new dimension to 3DX with relatively little coding work.

Food for thought.

I agree. I don't see the difference between an audio player and a video player. Djs who broadcast music on their radio played on 3DX are responsible for holding the broadcasting rights. It's the same if you broadcast the video. Whether you watch a youtube video with your web browser or a plugin on 3DX, I see no difference. I could be wrong but I think it's just common sense. Now there may be a concern about the occupation of the bandwidth which can be understood.

Maybe I don't know enough about game programming, and even though the idea might work for some thematic rooms, I personally see it as a lot of effort with only manageable benefits. I think there would be enough things that would benefit us all much more with less work, not to mention some really important bug fixes.

Fantasy and sensual writing (yes, this is still a chat) give me much more than mindless porn clips. And I don't need to see a DJ live (many may not even want to) to enjoy good music.

But of course that's just my personal opinion.

Read some profiles out there, if they are to be believed, there are lots of people in 3DX paying to listen to music and chat to people. Stuff you can do anywhere online for free and without the BS and depravity of this place. 🤣 😅😂

As you know first hand from another world you were part of, this was a largely used feature that goes beyond just watching movies or porn (which would become extremely busy venues.)

The feature is multifaceted in it's usability.  Clubs can add visualizations like modern bands play behind them live. Those seeking a break from hustle and bustle can have whatever 'relaxing 6 hour YouTube loop visualizations they want in both public and private builds. The possibilities are as endless as imaginative usage.  

 

Plus the best Unity Plug-in for this is already made by a Russian programmer several years ago. Just needs installed. Probably take Gizmo 15 mins to add.
