Garry’s Tube – YouTube player for Garry’s Mod[x86-64]
Please read the description before you download or comment.
You need to go into steam and right click Garry’s Mod/ Properties/Beta’s and switch to the [x86-64] version for this addon to work! This uses gmod html to access the YouTube page (not to be confused with the steam overlay web browser). I call it a YouTube player because it allows you to run it in the background and save URL’s inside Garry’s Mod. When you save them it adds a button to the menu when you open it.
Things you should know:
1. To get started type !yt or !ytm to open the main menu
2. You can open YouTube and add your first link by clicking the Open YouTube button.
3. After you add a link you can click the newly generated button to open the Current Video player.
4. You can hide the player in the background by clicking the X and listen to it play.
Please read carefully:
5. This next part is not recommended and is a warning, You can sign-in to YouTube on it and it will stay logged into it during the duration you are on Garry’s Mod and when you close it, it will forget the login. However I am not specialized in security and I do not know how secure logging in from Garry’s Mod is. Therefore, I do not recommend it as you can still press the skip ads button in the current video player.
6. This addon hasn’t been tested in every scenario. There will be problems which is why there is a backup button for your links. You can also navigate to your garrysmod/data folder to find your page names and links. I will slowly make this addon better over time. I am only 1 person and with the help of Copilot I have been able to make this possible. If there are any major changes in YouTube or Garry’s Mod[x86-64] it very possible that this addon will break.
7. I only tested this on 1 server and it seems the server needs the addon even though it will have no involvement in the addons processes. This is another reason not to log into YouTube as it may be possible for servers you join to gain access to things. Again I am not an expert and that was just a theory.
8. I hope you enjoy this addon and have fun! I hope I didn’t forget anything ~_~
