AC AutoPlay
3D in-car media system for FiveM (YouTube, spatial audio, EQ, Now-Playing HUD, voice ducking). Standalone, no database.
What it is
AC AutoPlay turns any vehicle into a real car sound system. Players paste a YouTube link and everyone in or near the car hears it, positioned in true 3D. A car to your left sounds like it is to your left, fading with distance and muffling through sealed doors. It ships with a built in equalizer, an on screen Now Playing HUD, and automatic voice ducking so conversation always cuts through.
It is fully standalone. No framework, no database, no API keys. It runs the same on QBCore, ESX, QBox, or no framework at all.
Features at a glance
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| 3D spatial audio (HRTF) | Each playing car is placed in 3D, left / right / front / back, fading with distance. |
| Real cabin muffle | A genuine low pass filter: sealed cars thump with bass from outside, open a door and the highs return. |
| Built in equalizer | A 7 band parametric EQ with a draggable graph, presets (Flat, Car System, Bass Boost, Vocal), and a Loudness mode. Saved per player. |
| Now Playing HUD | A clean widget over the game showing the current and next track. Fully movable and toggleable. |
| Voice ducking | Music dips while you or anyone close talks on voice, then restores. Works with pma-voice, mumble, native voice. |
| Full player | Playlists, queue (drag to reorder), favorites, library, shuffle, repeat, search. |
| Synced and secure | Server authoritative playback, occupant and driver checks, rate limiting, tamper protection. Every listener hears the same track in sync. |
Quick start
- Drop the
AC_autoplayfolder into your server'sresourcesdirectory (any category folder is fine, for example[standalone]). - Add this to your
server.cfg:cfgensure AC_autoplay - Restart the server. A new resource needs a full restart, not just a refresh.
That is it. There are no dependencies. ox_lib is optional (it gives nicer notifications and falls back to chat if it is missing).
In game, sit in a vehicle and press F5 or type /autoplay, paste a YouTube link, then press Play or Add to Queue.
