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.
