TL;DR: RimFlix, but with actual video playback and no multi-minute loading hit from your show library. 

RimCinema lets you play your own video files and image-sequence "shows" on every Tube, Flatscreen, and Megascreen television in the game.

Key features:
- Play real video files (MP4, WebM, OGV, MOV, AVI, WMV, ASF) directly on in-game TV screens
- Turn folders of images into animated slideshow "shows"
- Everything loads at runtime; point it at a folder with gigabytes of content and it won't add a second to your game's loading time
- Distance-based audio falloff, so the sound fades out as your colonists (or you) walk away from the screen
- Take manual control of any TV with the "Allow Pawn" toggle: pick shows, scrub through videos, pause/play from a player dialog, just like a real remote
- Per-TV-type screen calibration (scale/offset) for Tube, Flatscreen, and Megascreen, so content actually lines up with the screen
- Configurable playback speed cap, volume, power draw, and rotation timing
- Enable/disable individual shows right from the mod settings menu
- Compatible with the classic RimFlix show folder layout; drop in your existing show folders and they just work

How it works:
Point the mod at a folder of videos and/or image-sequence subfolders in the mod settings. 
RimCinema scans it recursively; every video file becomes a "video show," every folder of images becomes a "slideshow." 
These become available on every TV in your colony automatically.

By default, pawns pick a random show when they sit down to watch TV, and shows rotate automatically. 
Want more control? Flip "Allow Pawn" off on a specific TV and a Player button appears; open it to browse, preview, and control playback yourself.

Requirements: Core only, though Ideology and/or Royalty are recommended for full TV compatibility (they add the Flatscreen/Megascreen TV types).
