Frequently Asked Questions

• Nothing is playing.
  See the Troubleshooting page.
• I can’t change the volume for YouTube videos.
  JavaScript must be enabled for Internet Explorer. If you are not using gm_chrome, you also have to click the “Re-initialize Player” button on the “Settings” panel.
• I crash when a video is played.
  PlayX uses the embedded Internet Explorer control in Gmod to play the video. Unfortunately, this control is not completely stable, and there is an inherent risk of using it. Install gm_chrome to alleviate this problem.
• I can’t spawn the models except for one, or I can’t move the players except for one model.
  Counterstrike: Source (CS:S) must be installed on the server.
• Does this cause server lag?
  No. PlayX consumes no CPU and no bandwidth while a video is playing. A few messages are sent to fetch metadata and sync clients when a video is played, when a client joins, and when a video is stopped, but nothing else is sent. The lag you (and others) may experience is due to either graphical lag (caused by not having gm_chrome) or your own bandwidth saturation (caused by an insufficient Internet connection rate).
