Video player in snap

So guys I’m not gonna lie, I just googled how to do this and google COOKED something up… something… revolutionary…

Basically, if you have an mp4, you can play that mp4 inside of the Snap! window.

I’m gonna work on some more applications to this to make it more user-friendly, but yea

Also the url you put in needs to be a video only, no meta or anything

that only uses javascript, so I think you need to look up how and dissect some programs instead of letting the browser do it, because thats kinda cheating

i ain paying 204 smackaroos for a book :sob: :sob:

i only know javascript

I didn’t click past the cookie popup, my bad
about the javascript, you can make mods/extensions using it if you want, and you can also split it by “cheating” and converting it into costumes and a sound object

seems like a question for grok

No, grok is useless because it makes EVERYTHING (yeah that’s an exaggeration but still) politically conservative. you should Look at Stack overflow and Khan Academy and learn how to make some Javascript stuff, as big Javascript projects are kinda frowned upon here.

At first I was like, what in the world is a grok?

(Then I read @jaxonlansden 's post below and it made sense)

Although AI can be a very helpful tool, but that’s just my opinion. Certain models at least.

(Not trying to target grok, I have never used it so I wouldn’t know anyway!)

HOLY bro at LEAST make an explanation by urself :face_with_bags_under_eyes: :wilted_flower:

Bro you’re trying to make a video player in Snap! it’s not that hard :sob:

Uhhhh… sure? But again, it’s only good for prototyping, like you said. Or maybe some changes in an already-existing, human-made thing (although if it’s human made, you probably shouldn’t inject AI into it)

dont use grok, its horribly politicially skewed
either way if youre not willing to do the learning to make a sizable portion of the thing, just dont make the thing. if you want to do something and be proud of it, dont make someone/thing else do most of the work for you. if you let ai make the thing, then dont be proud of it.

bro they got rid of my gemini post
:crying_cat:

yeah, but not grok. You might as well be learning how to code on CONSERVAPEDIA if you’re using grok.

You using Gemini to glaze Grok is saying a lot…

sorry next time ill use deepai

:face_with_bags_under_eyes:
DONT USE AI!!! And if you are, at least use Grok to glaze itself & prove your point

(to the jaxonlansden)

The :snap: forums is all about humans using the human-made :snap:. All Generative AI does is scramble through the internet and regurgitate what it found. It is not creative. It does not belong in the Snap forums.

Pretentious Rant (you don't have to read this)

It isn’t really a “tool” anyways, half the time you have to pay a subscription. Could you imagine if a drill had an “INSERT COIN” label? Would you use a pencil if it connected to the internet? Currently, AI is a SaaS application, not a tool.

Because of this, humans are more versitile than AI:

Don’t have a writing utensil? Then say the things you want to say out loud! Don’t have a computer? Tough luck, you can’t use deepai or gemini or anything!

Don’t have a pencil to draw something? Use a brush, pen, or even a stick! Don’t have an internet connection? Tough luck, you can’t generate images anymore!

Don’t have a musical intrument or DAW? You can just hum whatever you want! Did Suno AI’s website shut down? Tough luck, you can’t generate music anymore!

Anyways, do you want to use your AI that just so happens to drive up electric bills and use up water? It’s true, just look it up- or no, just ask your ai chatbot. wait, know that I think of it…

There is a psycological effect that AI does to your brain. If you start to rely on AI too much, then you start to get lazy for everything else. Think about it:

“Why should I draw this if I can use AI to do it for me?”
“Why should I learn ___ if AI can do it for me?”
“Why should I google if AI can do it for me?”

Then, once the AI website shuts down for a while, you’ll just be thinking “oh no I don’t know how to do this only chatgpt/gemini/whatever can tell me” and you won’t be as independent as you could’ve been.

When sathvikrias said:

You should make big JS projects elsewhere, because this website is where Snap! projects reside comfortably, not JS projects. What is the purpose of an entire language anyway if you are just going to code in another language?

Besides the "smart" punctuation, this is another thing that gave away your use of AI to compose a counterpoint. It doesn't know the context. The AI assumed that sathvikrias tried to thwart you from creating big JS projects in general, but he meant that big JS projects are frowned upon just here in this website. Snap!. If you wrote your rant yourself without the assistance of a machine, it would have made some more sense.

I agree that is really annoying.

Why does everything have to be a subscription these days! I want to buy the thing and own the license to use it forever, not pay them every month!

I feel like this is going starting a argument :(

Should these posts be split into the Some people don’t like AI topic?
