Media Streaming (Video)

Play HTTP video streams on your UI. Video renders to a texture; audio is spatialized from the screen position.

ui:element({
    id = "player", type = "media",
    rect = { unit = "px", x = 0, y = 0, w = 480, h = 272 },
    props = {
        url = "https://example.com/video.mp4",
        playing = "true",
        volume = "0.8",
        loop = "true",
    },
})

• Audio responds to atmosphere — muffled in vacuum, normal in pressurized rooms
• Players adjust per-screen volume with Ctrl+Alt+MouseWheel
• Global mute toggle in client config
• If the game applies a mixer snapshot (for example during an airlock pressurisation cycle), playback that was interrupted is restarted when the server still expects the clip to be playing — audio no longer stays permanently silent after that transition
