LethalTV

LethalTV

Play your own videos on the ship TV in place of the vanilla clips.

• Only the host needs the videos. Everyone needs the mod. Players who don't have a video download it from the host automatically, over the game's own connection. Downloads are cached, so the next session starts right away.
• Synced for everyone. The host decides what's on and everyone sees the same video at the same point. It works like live TV: videos keep playing while the TV is off, then move on to the next one.
• Vanilla controls still work. Press E on the TV to turn it on or off, like normal.
• TV remote (new). Use the keybinds below anywhere in the ship, or within 20 m of the TV:

| Key | Action |

|-----|--------|

| \ | Power on/off |

| [ / ] | Previous / next video (synced for everyone) |

| - / = | Your volume down / up (only you hear the change) |

| ' | Mute (only you) |

To rebind these, go to Settings → Change Keybinds.

Host setup

• Put your videos in Videos\LethalTV (for example C:\Users\\Videos\LethalTV). The folder is created the first time you launch with the mod. To use a different folder, set VideoFolder in BepInEx/config/brant.LethalTV.cfg.
• Use H.264 video with AAC audio in an.mp4 for best results..webm,.mov,.m4v,.wmv,.avi,.mpg and.ogv might also work. The log tells you if a file can't be played.
• Host a lobby. Videos play in file name order. Set Shuffle = true to shuffle them instead.

Smaller files reach your friends faster. 720p at a few Mbps works well. Files you add while the game is running show up the next time you host.

Notes

• If the host has no videos, the TV plays the vanilla clips. The volume remote still works.
• While a video is still downloading, your TV screen stays dark. Look at the TV to see progress in its tooltip.
• The LAN mode transport is much slower at sending files than Steam lobbies.
