Video Player is a program that you can buy off of Appscape in the Shiftnet. It allows playing of various media files, through the use of an ActiveX Windows Media Player control. This was demoed in the 0.0.8 development update.

Bugs and issues[edit | edit source]

Because the Video Player was built on ActiveX and Windows Media Player, it meant that, theoretically, the player could both break out of ShiftFS through Media Player's user interface, and access fullscreen mode exposing a Windows Media Player user interface. However, these issues are hypothetical and based purely on a cursory look in the game's code. These theories are untested.

Furthermore, the use of Windows Media Player would prevent the game from ever running on Linux or macOS.
