Source ingame media player.

06-13-2007, 04:19 PM

I wish to start a "petition" to ask valve to please reinstate the source ingame player. I used to find it quite useful, I used it instead of using an external program that would take cpu usage to a new level

.

So please valve... Bring it home.

Why was it removed in the first place?

Also, now that Source still runs single-core, if you have a multi-core computer, you're not wasting any cycles for winamp or media player or whatever.

Depends on priority, but some ppl still have P4's and AMD Athlons.

BUMPED to the max.

Actually, You'd probably get better performance just using another program.

My frames dropped quite a bit when using it. (on my old rig... p4 2.6ghz, 440mx, 768mb ram)

6th or what ever it was.

They did have a media player in Source but the only thing wrong with it for example you would start a new round the song would skip. If steam can get it to work with out it skipping song every round it would work great.

I think the skipping has to do with the load. I don't know if there's a way to code around it skipping... on the systems I've run, there's always a bit of lag when loading new rounds or even joining games.

If a fix could be found, be it hardware or software, it would be wonderful, though. =)

Love the idea though! If there were problems leading to its removal, it'd be nice if they were fixed and if the player were re-implemented.

I nevered lagged while this happened, maybe on the first 2 secs MAX. This addition was a great idea and shouldn't have been removed. I wish for the valve guys to hear our cries.
