pmms (Poodle's MultiMedia System) allows players to play music/video from entities such as phonographs, radios or TVs.
NUI-based, using MediaElement.js to support HTML5 media, HLS, YouTube, and more.
Synchronized between players.
Multiple entities can play different things at the same time.
Dynamic sound attenuation based on whether the player and entity are in the same interior room.
Optional immersive filter can be applied to any audio.
Play video on a TV screen or scaleform with DUI (FiveM), or on a screen displayed above the entity (RedM).
Play audio inside or outside of vehicles.
Permissions system and ability to lock entities so only certain players can control them.
Configure default entities which are spawned and play music/video automatically.
Audio visualizations via Wave.js.

Install all dependencies.
Place the files from this repository in a new folder in your resources directory.
Example: resources/[local]/pmms
NOTE
The name of the resource must be in all lowercase in order for it to function properly. This is due to how NUI callbacks work.
Add the following in server.cfg:
exec @pmms/permissions.cfg
start pmms
The default permissions allow members of group.admin
full access to pmms, while other players will only be able to perform basic interactions with media players and only be able to play preset songs (those defined in Config.presets
in config.lua).
To allow all players to be able to play custom URLs, in permissions.cfg, uncomment or add the following line:
add_ace builtin.everyone pmms.customUrl allow
Even with this ace, URLs will be restricted to those allowed by Config.allowedUrls
, which includes generally safe sites such as YouTube. To allow players to use URLs from other sites, you can either add the appropriate pattern to Config.allowedUrls
, or uncomment or add the following line to remove the restriction entirely:
add_ace builtin.everyone pmms.anyUrl allow
Keep in mind that media played with pmms is loaded individually by all players, meaning each player will be accessing the URL from their own connection. Therefore, allowing any player to play a random URL can present some risk of exposing players' IP addresses to an attacker playing something from their own web server and logging the connections.

The command names can be customized. These are the defaults.
