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). Repository: https://gitgud.io/pekakek/rimcinema
