I updated the readme on github to reflect on the Microsoft Defender issue and also created a ticket with Microsoft.
Until it might be resolved, the easiest way would be to follow those steps to make an exception for Defender:
- Download the file, it will fail
- Start → Virus & Threat Protection
- ‘Protection History’
- Expand the header that say ‘Thread quarantined’
- under ‘Actions’ choose ‘restore’
Compiling the project yourself would also work, as Defender is context aware, but that’s the more complicated solution.

I’m on Win 11. made the exception and it works fine, thanks!

RVP got an update to 1.3! Download on github: Release v1.3 - Random Video Player · Peanutccino/Random-Video-Player · GitHub
Detailed changes:
- Added a favorite function
- Press the button or shortcut ‘F’ to save current file as favorite
- It will be stored in your selected list location (Default \user\documents\RVP_ListFolder\Favorites.txt)
- Can be loaded via listbrowser
- Added a shuffle toggle as per user request
- Either press the button or use shortcut ‘S’ to toggle shuffle ‘on’ and ‘off’ (Default ‘off’)
- Turned ‘on’, behavior is like before: Whenever you change a source to play from, RVP will get all files from that source and randomizes the order.
- Turned ‘off’ behavior changes to: Whenever you change a source to play from, RVP will get all files from that source and plays in parsing order. (Note: Toggling shuffle will refresh the current list)
- Since it’s playing in parsing order, this also means that when you load from a folder and select “recent files only”, the order will be newest => latest
- Added media shortcuts and changed behavior to hook globally as per user request
- Media Play/Pause, Media Previous/Next are supported. Media Stop will be recognized but function wise is the same as Play/Pause
- Other shortcuts will only work while RVP UI is the active window!
- Added a file extension filter selection within the settings as per user request
- In the settings menu, you can now select what file types are used when loading files (Default video files only)
- This affects playing from a folder directly. So depending on whether ‘Include videos’ and ‘Include images’ is checked, it will load matching file types.
- This does NOT affect custom lists, as you can manually define what entries should be in your list and it will play those no matter your filter settings.
- Added a .funscript visualizer for fun and for indicating that a compatible file is loaded
- Added a help section in the settings menu
- It links to github (Where you can find latest releases and additional information)
- And you can find a shortcut list there (Which is also on github and in this thread)
- Added a new cursor position indicator when hovering the progress bar
- Previously used the tooltip function which was resource intensive and not satisfying
- Optimized that and improved UI
- Bugfixes and optimization
- Handled some exceptions when you are denied acces to a folder for whatever reason
- Handled some exceptions when you change paths after loading
- Removed some timer chunk that was used to retrieve MPV data and instead uses MPV events directly which is a lot less resource intensive
- Added more savety checks to prevent exceptions
Some preview images of the update:

I like the idea and with a good interface, can see myself using this sporadically.
Appreciate the work!

Thanks so much! I’m happy if you enjoy it 
Bit demanding so feel free to say no.
Any way you could make this work with Scriptplayer (GitHub - FredTungsten/ScriptPlayer: ScriptPlayer is a video player that controls the Handy and lots of other toys in sync with videos.)?
Currently it seems very close to when using the MPCHC video player in Scriptplayer it detects RVP but unlike playing videos in MPCHC it does not load the currently playing videos funscript.

Hey, thanks for your feedback 
I will take a more detailed look later, but this should be an easy adjustment. Seems like Script Player asks for more variables than MFP which I trimmed down for efficiency.
I might push a small update around weekend.
Edit: After investigating a bit, it seems ScriptPlayer isn’t just reading more variables, but actively posting commands to MPC-HC as it’s taking control over the player.
So unfortunately I have to say, that this means I propably won’t add compatibility, unless I find another way.
I would always recommend using MFP though, it’s awesome.

How do you play multiple videos? I cant get the scripts attached to the videos

Hi,
I appreciate your input! Though, I’m not entirely sure if I understand your problem adequately, so I’ll try to explain some stuff a bit more generalized:
To actually use scripts while playing them with RVP, you need to have MultiFunPlayer running and set up correctly!
So how does it actually work, step by step:
-
Make sure, you actually have videos with associated scripts ready:
- Video and .funscript share the same name e.g. “Video1.mp4” and “Video1.funscript”
- All associated files have to be in the same directory next to each other
-
Download RVP and unzip it to the location of your choice
- Run it
- Click on the clogwheel to open the settings page
- Activate “Timecode Server”
- Take a moment to look at the other settings
- Click on the folder icon and navigate to the folder that holds your videos + scripts and choose to use that folder to play from
- RVP will now scan all files within that folder and starts playing videos at random from it
-
Setup MFP correctly:
- Download MFP to the location of your choice and run it
- In the top most area, click on the ‘+’ sign at the right edge of the area (Toggle media source)
- From the list that opens, select ‘MPC-HC’ so it’s added to the area as available source
- Either click on ‘auto-connect’ below the MPC-HC entry, so MFP will automatically connect if it finds something or simply click ‘connect’ when RVP is running already.
- Depening on your sync toy, choose the correct connection at the bottom most area
MPC-HC should state “connected” and as soon as you play videos with a .funscript in the same directory as the video, it will automatically load those scripts and control your connected sync-toy.
Does this help clarifying? Let me know!
For the other parts of your question:
What exactly is meant with multiple videos? Note, RVP always take either a directory or a list made of entries of your choice to play from. It’s not designed to play a single file.
Anyways, have a great day! And let me know if you need to know something else

Sorry to bother again, but I finally tried fully testing it. I have gotten it to sync just fine, but the strokes arent full. they are on time but only move like a cm or two

You mean the visualization? Could you provide me with a screenshot maybe?
Just for clarity; RVP does not handle the scripts itself, it only tells the actual Toy-Sync software (MFP) what media it’s playing.
Idk how to send a screenshot over. Maybe I can see you mfp settings? The script will play, but instead of using the full length of the handy, itll follow the script but only use about 2-3 inches of it’s stroke length

Nah, it’s fine, since you didn’t mean the graph visualizer.
Sorry for your troubles. I suggest looking at the patch notes for MFP 1.29.0: MultiFunPlayer v1.29.3 - Multi axis funscript player - Now with SLR Interactive support - #689 by Yoooi
And try those settings for the handy. (The first paragraph)
The Handy had problems with MFP before and I don’t know if Yoooi managed to fully fix it with this setting. So I can only recommend to try that. RVP does not control the devices.
New version v1.33 released!
It’s only a small update adding some functionality requested by user:
New Feature:
- Additional UI button to enable removing current file from active list
Other:
- Optimized some UI tooltips to clarify it’s behavior
Shows path where files are moved to when setting is chosen:
Explicitely state, that files are deleted:
New button to remove files from current list:
Note:
- RVP holds a temporary list in it’s memory
- Every change will be kept there but will not be automatically saved to your local list.txt files
- To actually save the list to your .txt files, you need to manually choose to save a list
Scared off by the firewall thing before, just downloaded the new version and it wasn’t blocked by firewall by default.
Very useful tool.

Totally understandable but awesome to hear, that it works now!
It makes me happy if it makes you happy
New version v1.34 released!
Another smol update, fxing a bug reported by user @DarkkSkull
- Image/Video filter now applies to custom lists
It didn’t previously. This only affects playback, it does not alter the list itself.
Get the latest release here:
Thanks again for the feedback!
Note: You only need the latest RandomVideoPlayer.exe & RandomVideoPlayer.dll from the .zip. Just replace your current ones with the latest. All settings are stored locally in the “RVP-Config.json” file.
