Hey, I'm submitting this new issue due to the announcement that Animix has shut down due to problems in the scrapper system.
If possible and if anyone's able to, will any of the addon's maintainers be adding support for another website like it? Thank you, and no worries if this isn't doable at the moment.

Yugen appears to have had a new domain change.
I attempted to update the two lines with the new domain but it doesn't seem to fix the issue.

Pretty much what it says on the tin.

In previous versions of Cinema, I noticed that if you played raw videos that were encoded to vp8/9 (the same codec Youtube videos use), then they would actually play properly for people who did not have the CEF codec fix installed. Since that discovery, I have been using vp9 for my video uploads so they can be viewed by both users with the CEF fix and those without it.

Now that there is an in-game check for the codec fix when playing raw video, these videos are being blocked from playing on the client despite being able to play properly otherwise.

Reproduction steps:

1. Factory reset of Gmod (or uninstall CEF codec fix)
2. Join cinema_modded server
3. Queue VP9-encoded video (such as https://serioussaturdays.net/crash.webm)

Expected result: video plays
Actual result: CEF banner warning pops up, and video does not attempt to play.

Greetings,

I am the creator and maintainer of the Cinema map cinema_construct. Today I released an update for the map that skips the theater_door patch for Cinema-based gamemodes like cinema_modded. My apologies for not applying this sooner.

With this change, I believe the file gamemode/maps_ducttape/cinema_construct.lua is no longer necessary. Feel free to test these changes I've made to ensure they work for you as well.

Thank you! 👍

Image file handler.

local SERVICE = {}

SERVICE.Name 	= "Image"
SERVICE.IsTimed = true
function SERVICE:Match( url )
	MsgN(url.encoded)
	return string.match( url.encoded, "http" ) && (string.match( url.encoded, "jpg") or string.match( url.encoded, "png") or string.match( url.encoded, "bmp") or string.match( url.encoded, "jpeg") or string.match( url.encoded, "gif") )
end

function SERVICE:GetURLInfo( url )
	local info = {}
	MsgN("Grabbing image data...")
	PrintTable(url)
	info.Data = url.encoded
	return info
end

function SERVICE:GetVideoInfo( data, onSuccess, onFailure )
	local info = {}
	info.thumbnail = data
	info.title = "Image"
	info.duration = 60
	if onSuccess then
		PrintTable(info)
		pcall(onSuccess, info)
	end
end

theater.RegisterService( 'Image', SERVICE )

if CLIENT then
	function SERVICE:LoadVideo( Video, panel )
		local panel = theater.ActivePanel()
		panel:Stop()
		panel:OpenURL( Video:Data() )
	end
end

May wish to add a convar for image duration and a gui element to adjust how long they are displayed. Possibly a convar to enable or disable image support.

So I am hosting this gamemode ona a dedicated server in Canada. The server runs great and everything but youtube is working

I was playing around with the code but ran into some issues. It turns out youtube is asking if I am a bot because youtube isn't logged in on the get.

I decided to put my cookie in the header. And that worked great for the person requesting a video and fixed the problem. However, for anyone else this was a problem and would throw a playback error for anyone else but the hoster which is strange (I don't really know much about your code)

The risky part about this is also hosting a cookie for one of your accounts in the main code.

I am not sure what all your code does but would love to see a fix for this. I may tweak with this a bit more tomorrow and try to find a permanent fix for the problem at hand but this is what I am seeing.

What I changed to fix the sign in issue

httpheaders - sh_base.lua in theater modules
['Cookie'] = "put cookies here"

This cookie also tends to expire rather often which isn't good.

Single player works great for reference

My server has no additional addons or code running. Just the cinema gamemode

With the new fix comes new problems. It shows ads which throws off everyone's timing. And if the ads are super long you cant click skip...

Not 100% certain how to fix that but I hope you can find a way!
