The folder is named "TVSystem".

TV System is a lightweight Blueprint-based interactive television and media playback system for Unreal Engine designed to create configurable TVs, video screens, and environmental media displays through a simple and reusable Blueprint workflow.

The system allows players to approach a television, display an interaction prompt, and control video playback using a configurable input action. Each placed TV actor can use its own Media Player, Media Source, Media Texture, interaction area size, and initial playback state directly from the Details Panel. TVs can start either enabled with video playback active or disabled with a separate off-screen texture, while subsequent interactions allow the player to pause and resume playback. The included Media Sound setup supports spatial audio and distance-based attenuation so video audio is positioned directly at the television and naturally fades as the player moves away. Fully Blueprint-based, easy to customize, and no C++ required.
