Hello. This is exactly what I needed! I'm trying to setup the Render method, but I'm stuck on the scripting part. I don't understand what I am supposed to do.

Hey that's awesome, I've been using the bat file instead of the RENDER version as of now, excited to see the update!

Hello, @xdcoelite

I'm planning to release v1.4 soon, and I wanted to ask: how did you get Render working? Honestly, I could never set it up successfully—it stayed theoretical for me. Could you share how you got the Render service running? I’d love to add your approach to my README.md!

Feel free to check the issues tab to see what’s coming next.

If you don’t have time to reply before I launch 1.4, I might switch this part to Replit since it’s more proven for me

Thanks again for reaching out! It’s awesome you’re one of only 2 users (out of 170 and growing!) who shared feedback.

Okay so as far as I got with RENDER was getting the site launched with the GitHub repository hooked up to it and the site is black. I assume because there's no video set up to the repository, I truly don't know. I stopped there seeing that GitHub only supports 25mb videos which wouldn't be ideal for a movie like I have in mind. So, I've just used the local file hosting it off my own computer. Anyone can connect to the site through my public address with whatever port I set. I used port 80. I have the movie Creed III setup as filmeva.mp4 in the video folder and the visual and audio works pretty well. I never really got render to work if that answers your question, probably a bummer to hear. One thing that is kind of cool that I had to do since NAT Loopback isn't supported with my router/modem is I had to figure out a way to be able to view the same public Ip address (my public Ip) that my friends were viewing but I couldn't. After hours of troubleshooting, I was able to go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and enter the "hosts" file and add my local Ip address to a DNS name. I used no-Ip to make a DNS and then when I open the link it will play by using my local address and not my public Ip. Here's what it looks like in the hosts file at the bottom of it. 192.168.x.x (yournoipdomain).ddns.net

That did the trick for me. I was able to load (yournoipdomain).ddns.net with the port "80" at the end [(yournoipdomain).ddns.net:80] and I was able to view my local web host while my friends view the public Ip web host on web displays in my MC server.
