Watch videos with friends in FiveM by playing from path/url or streaming with OBS.

Install

Clone or download the required files
Edit the .env file (see Configuration)

When started, the yarn resource should automatically install the required dependencies. If the installation fails you can do so manually with npm i and remove the yarn dependency from fxmanifest.lua. Note that npm is required to manually install the dependencies.

Streaming

The /video-stream command will teleport your player to the cinema.

The /video-stream:set command can play videos by path/url

/video-stream:set "https://example.com/video.mp4"
/video-stream:set D:\video.mp4
/video-steam:set without arguments stops playback.

To publish to the optional RTMP server configure OBS and Start Streaming.
