Media Players

From Tower Unite Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Media players are screens that can play media from YouTube and SoundCloud, as well as .webm links. They can be found in the Plaza and purchased for Condos.

Features

Media Queue

When a media player is turned on:

  1. Hold Q to open up the queue.
  2. Click Add Media and paste a video link into the input bar
  3. The video will be added to the end of the queue

Players can upvote and downvote videos to push them up or down in the queue, report links using the flag button, and vote skip videos. Reported links, if banned, cannot be played in the Plaza.

Save Playlists

The condo owner can save playlists on individual media players. Playlists save the current video queue, then play it on loop. Playlists persist to future play sessions and are saved in snapshots.

Media Player Admin

Condo owners have the Media Player Admin permission and can give this permission to other players. Media admins can skip and delete videos from the queue, save playlists, and add any link from the internet. Websites cannot be interacted with on media players and most other sites don't sync between visitors, so this functionality is limited.

Media Player Locations

In the Plaza

The Plaza has media players in the following locations:

In Condos

The Theater and Resort Condos both have media players built into them.
