About Admin Video
Want to troll cheaters you have on your server? Maybe you have taken a clip of them cheating, or want to rick roll them. Maybe you want to show an advertisement to your players?
Then this is the plugin for you!
A friend had wanted to know how he could send a video to play on a cheaters screen, because this person was streaming while cheating, and he had clipped it.
This plugin integrates with Rust's built in "client.playvideo" command, but with the added benefit of being able to just supply a Youtube URL, or a Twitch URL. The integration with the Twitch and Youtube API is offloaded onto my web server, to minimize outside web calls, and to minimize load on your server.
WARNING! Be careful of the length of the video that you add! Player will have NO input, will NOT be able to F1 kill, or even log out of server until the video is completed! They will need to ALT+F4 if they want to leave before video finishes.
Known Issues:
- Video “could” be closed by a player if they know the client commands and send a video to themselves
- thinking of implementing a “close” button that you can enable on ads etc to allow the user to close the video
Any comments, concerns, questions, or suggestions are greatly appreciated

Safety Checks:
Commands with safety checks will only send video if the player is:
- In a SafeZone AND not mounted (such as on a mini) OR TC Authorized and INSIDE AND not mounted (such as on a mini)
-
AND Has not been in combat for at least 20 seconds
These are to limit the possibility of players being killed while frozen and unable to move. Additional safety checks can be added if needed
