A custom RRS component made by the Studio team, similarly to the Rec Room Studio Canvas Interaction component.
Intended Functionality: Added on to the same GameObject as Unity’s video player component, and allows the creator to use URLs to stream video content to players via a 3rd party source.
Limitations/Moderation: Has a report button similar to the desktop sharing screen that cannot be obfuscated, required on a GameObject with a Unity video player component to upload and build to Rec Room servers, content is always hidden from juniors, and must have video player/desktop share screen access.
Would love to see this idea revisited. I remember in the early days of RRS there was talks of a Rec Room proxy, though I don’t guess work on that ever started. One thing I was thinking, though, instead of requiring a report button in a prefab, there should be an option within the “This Room” page to report currently playing media. That’d probably require a lot less development and seems generally more elegant.
I hope they add smthg like a components called “Frame.get” and “Frame.set” for the video player so you will finally be able to skip some parts and rewatch other parts (and playbars will be reliable if there is a lag spike)
