Hey, so I created a NodeJS script to play youtube videos in roblox. It has support for english captions (autogenerated, so they are pretty bad in music videos), 10FPS, 213 pixels horizontal, and 120 pixels vertical.
I plam on releasing 5 videos for free, and for custom videos you have to pay robux. The servers will be 1 player to stop NSFW content from being shown (Even though the NodeJS script checks if its family friendly). I have no plans for sound. It is pretty resource intensive (I have a I5 10400 and a GTX 970. It runs well on my mom’s iGPU and I5 gen 4)
Here is a demo:
Any sugestions?
Also, how should the map look like?
The game is single player, and NodeJS script checks if the author has marked the video NSFW. Youtube checks if the video is NSFW, and if it is, it puts it 18+. Heck, if even that would fail, I would just use a public API to see every few seconds before releasing the frames if any frame contains anything NSFW.
Yeah but its sadly against the Tos i think the only Reason why Roblox don’t want Games like this on the Platform is because Roblox can’t control whats happening in these Games.
If you released the game and it got attention, I could see a lot of people paying to play videos. Only downside is that Roblox would send you to the underworld for it
Well it is single player, so I don’t see what is so bad about it. If someone bypasses the youtube filter and then my own filter, only they would see it.
I made it so there are multiple free videos and custom videos (Costs 100$ per video and you have to put the id after YouTube and it may take from seconds to minutes depending on the video size). There is a test link (Bugs may be present): Web Video Player - Roblox
Edit: I only tested it with up to 2 instances at the same time, I dont know if the server can handle more, but I think it could.
Super impressive, but even if the servers are 1 player and you have a nsfw filter, bypassing is always possible and Roblox doesn’t want kids to be able to watch/see anything nsfw.
I’d think this would be taken down as soon as it gets popular.
cool game, but you’re def gonna get sent to roblox hell by the moderators now.
I just don’t think they’d tolerate any kind of video playing, no matter the filters.
It’s just how things are.
I’m not exactly sure how this is possible.
How do you get the YouTube link when you are in Roblox and then play it??
I didn’t realize that was possible
Youtube moderates videos, and it wont be accepted to youtube.
Probably take 3 years for it to procces server side and they will leave
I whouldn’t pay 100 robux just to put a pixelated swear word (Captions are censured using roblox’s filter, also since it is 120 height and 213 width not sure if you would understand anything from the words. I wasn’t able to understand a single word even in images with big text)
