YouTube On Any TV.
Zero Database Required.
rde_oxmedia streams YouTube and direct media on any TV, monitor, laptop, cinema screen, or speaker in GTA V — full server-authoritative sync via entity StateBags, 3D proximity audio with room attenuation, and native rde_props integration. No separate DUI resource, no SQL, no Tebex.
Overview
Most media scripts are abandoned, bloated, or locked behind Tebex and require a separate DUI resource. rde_oxmedia needs none of that — pure StateBag/GlobalState architecture, zero database footprint.
Why this over PMMS / generic scripts
| PMMS / Generic Scripts | rde_oxmedia |
|---|---|
| Legacy network events | Entity StateBags |
| Flat volume | Distance + room attenuation |
| No late-join sync | Corrected playback position on join |
| Separate DUI resource required | Not needed |
| Database required | Pure StateBag / GlobalState, zero SQL |
Quick Start
ensure ox_lib
ensure ox_core
ensure ox_target -- optional, only if Config.UseTarget = true
ensure rde_props -- optional, only for prop media sync
ensure rde_oxmediaConfig.DuiUrl to an HTTPS URL — RDE's hosted copy works out of the box.
Architecture — Three Entity Classes
| Class | Key | Who hears it |
|---|---|---|
| Networked | net:<netId> | All players |
| Non-networked (static world) | ent:<handle> | You only — labelled "Local playback only" |
| rde_props (client-spawned) | prop:<propId> | All players via GlobalState |
Configuration
Config.DuiUrl = 'https://rd-elite.com/Files/oxmedia-dui/'
Config.EnableAttenuation = true
Config.EnableRoomAttenuation = true
Config.DiffRoomVolume = 0.3
Config.MaxRenderDistance = 50.0rde_props Integration
Because rde_props entities are client-spawned and have no NetId, a dedicated GlobalState sync path handles them — fully transparent to the player. Requires rde_props v1.0.1+.
Player opens menu on a placed TV prop
→ entityKey() → exports.rde_props:getPropIdByEntity(entity)
→ GlobalState['oxmedia_prop_<propId>'] = data
→ fires on ALL clients → startDevice(entity, data)Exports
| Export | Side | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| startDevice(entity, data) | Client | Start media locally |
| getActiveDevices() | Both | All currently active devices |
| hasPermission(source, 'admin') | Server | Permission check |
Common Pitfalls
Black screen / no video
Config.DuiUrl doesn't point to a live HTTPS URL.
Fix: open the URL in a browser first — if it 404s, the DUI page is missing.
World TV only plays for me
Working as intended — static map props are non-networked GTA entities, labelled "Local playback only".
Fix: use rde_props to spawn the TV for shared playback across all players.
Idle CPU was unexpectedly high (pre-v1.0.5)
The render thread ran Wait(0) unconditionally — 60+ resumes/sec with no media playing whatsoever.
Fix (v1.0.5-alpha): render thread now runs per-frame only while active TVs exist, collapsing to Wait(250) at idle — idle CPU dropped ~84% in resmon testing.
FAQ
Is oxmysql required?
No — this resource has zero database footprint. Pure StateBag/GlobalState architecture.
Can I migrate from PMMS?
Yes — comment out pmms/pmms-dui, add rde_oxmedia, set Config.DuiUrl, restart. No data migration needed since StateBags are session-only.
Changelog
Performance patch — idle CPU 5.58% → 0.89% (~84% reduction), conditional render thread, removed duplicate ox_target polling.
Hotfix — frozen last-frame image on stop, screen now clears correctly via a 2-frame black-draw before release.
Initial public release — full StateBag + GlobalState sync, 3D proximity audio, 40+ supported prop models.
