Animated Frames

AnimatedFrames — v1.7

New options for sharing files from the server and improvements to memory management and connectivity.

---

New Features

• Files from the server: /medias show now sends content to players for playback, without requiring them to copy it to their computers beforehand. This brings back a feature that was already available in AnimatedFrames 1.3.1.
• Local playback: new /medias showlocal command to display files the player already has saved, preserving the previous behavior of /medias show.
• Server file listing: /medias list lets you view the files available on the server.
• Names with spaces: commands accept filenames in quotes, such as "welcome video.mp4". Autocomplete adds the quotes automatically.

Improvements

• Optimized file transfers with background reading.
• Separate cache for content received from the server.
• File integrity checks before playback.
• Better memory management for images and GIFs, freeing resources that are no longer in use.

Fixes

• Fixed playback instances accumulating when switching videos, which could cause unexpected game crashes.
• Fixed an issue that prevented commands from running through command blocks and datapack functions to automate multimedia content. Thanks to melmi_melmi for reporting it on Discord.

Key Commands

Command	Function
/medias show <player|@a> <file> [time] [position] [scale] [volume]	Sends and plays a file from the server.
/medias showlocal <player|@a> <file> [time] [position] [scale] [volume]	Plays a local file stored on the player's computer.
/medias list	Lists the files on the server.
/medias stop <player|@a>	Stops playback.

When updating from 1.6.2: if your commands used files stored on each player's PC, replace /medias show with /medias showlocal to preserve that behavior.
