FAQ
What is this site for?
VRC Media Server downloads videos (YouTube, torrents, direct links), re-encodes them and gives you a clean URL the VRChat video player can play.
Solves the usual headaches: YouTube region / age-restriction blocks, movies and shows that don't have a clean player URL, no built-in audio / subtitle picker in the player, incompatible codecs (AV1, VP9 etc.). Everything is downloaded, re-encoded to H.264/AAC and served as a URL the VRChat player will accept.
How do I use it?
- Paste a link (YouTube, magnet, .mp4 etc.) into the field above
- Hit «Add» — the job goes into the queue
- Wait for the «ready» status (download + transcode)
- Click «Watch in VRChat» and copy the URL
- Paste the URL into the in-world video player
How many jobs can I run?
One active job per user at a time. The rest wait in queue.
Which formats are supported?
YouTube, YouTu.be, magnet links, .torrent files, direct links to .mp4, .mkv, .webm, .avi, .mov, .ts, .flv.
How long are finished videos kept?
1 day by default (TTL). Old jobs are deleted automatically.
«vrcrustyscript» / «0 n function possibilities» error in VRChat?
That's an error inside the VRChat player, not on the server. The player sometimes mistakenly triggers its «challenge solver» on a direct URL. Things to try:
- Hit Play again — second try usually works
- Drop quality to VRChat Safe (720p) — fewer failures
Limit: 1 active job at a time.
Wait for it to finish or delete an old one.
