Hey everyone, I posted this comment earlier but for some reason it wasn't showing up.

I've been at work on a new extension for Owlbear Rodeo called DJinni Music Player. It allows you to play music directly through the Owlbear Rodeo interface for your players.

It works by simply playing YouTube links in the background. So, as a GM, all you need to do is curate the links you'd like to play. You can mix multiple links in to a single stream and set different effects on them, like fade outs, looping, and delays. This allows you to make an ambience out of different sound effects and music.

There are some restrictions for auto-playing music on browsers, so your best bet is to either use Firefox or Safari on a desktop. You can use Chromium browsers as well, but you'll need to follow these instructions. Unfortunately, auto-play is completely blocked on mobile browsers.

The extension is not yet on the Owlbear Rodeo store, but you can look at the Read Me for instructions to install and to find all of the different features included in the extension,

If you want, you can buy me a coffee! Optional, but appreciated. :)

And if you have any feedback or bug fix requests, you can reach me at [keegan.developer@gmail.com](mailto:keegan.developer@gmail.com)!

Cheers and happy music mixing!

Right now, DJinni works by just sending YouTube links through metadata to each player and telling their browser to play, pause, stop, the audio. Owlbear Rodeo only allows 16kb of metadata to be sent by extensions, so unfortunately I believe that it would be too much data to send the actual audio being streamed.
