Flores Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 Hey everyone, Simple suggestion. The current YouTube link radio system just isn’t good. I’ve tried loads of links and most of them don’t work properly. Sometimes I just want to hop in a car and drive without messing around trying to get music to play. Can we bring back the original GTA single player radio stations? It can still require owning a car speaker like it does now. Just give us the option to either use /carurl or just simple single player radio stations. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. 3 Quote
Hector2Fingers Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 I could be wrong, but I believe this would be a copyright issue. This has never been available to my knowledge in my years on the server. Quote

The videos have to be encoded with a certain quality to play I believe, which is why some dont work. Quote
Juicay Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 I’m assuming this change was made to help encourage streamers to play on the server, which makes sense from a growth perspective. That said, the current in-game radio is honestly just annoying. It barely works half the time, and it takes away from what should be a simple experience. I want to just get in a car and drive without messing around with links or putting in links that just don't work. I’ve seen other servers counter this by adding player-made or royalty-free tracks to the radio stations instead. But this works well for communities where music is a big part of the server. On this server though, player made music isn’t really a major focus, so I can understand why something like that hasn’t been implemented in its place. Still, I think the better solution would just be to bring back the original radio stations and add a streamer setting that allows people to disable them if needed. That way Regular players get the classic driving experience back Streamers can stay safe from copyright issues Everyone has the choice Honestly, massive +1 from me. Just add the old radio back with an optional toggle for those who need it. 1 Quote
