This Datapack, in combination with the MinecraftVideoConverter allows you to add Videos to your Minecraft world.
It doesn't require any Resource packs or Mods, it works by creating the required Map-Art for every Frame of your Video and displaying them In-Game.

Full Video Tutorial

Short Tutorial:
  1. Add the Datapack to your world
  2. Start the Programm
  3. Select your world, either over the included Dropdown or over the file explorer
  4. Select the video you want to add to your world
  5. Click on convert and let the program finish
  6. Note down the two numbers the video converter gives you after finishing
  7. Enter your world
  8. Prepare a 3 high and 5 wide screen area
  9. Execute the following command: "/function minecraftvideoplayer:assistant"
  10. Use the Chat to Enter the video offset as well as your video frame count as given by the program
  11. Decide if you want your video to loop or not
  12. Close the chat and move the glowing blocks to your target location
  13. Reopen chat and click "Place"
  14. Now you just need to wait for the maps to load and your video should be playing back smoothly

The processing can take a while depending on the video length. Also, it can take a while for Minecraft to cache all the required Frames to play the video back smoothly.

Before converting with MinecraftVideoConverter, trim/compress your footage using Movavi Free. It’s perfect for cutting unwanted sections and lowering file size. Download at https://www.movavi.com/learning-portal/free-video-editing-software.html. After slimming down your clip, follow the standard Datapack workflow. Smaller videos mean faster Map-Art generation and smoother in-game playback. Movavi Free’s interface easily simplifies batch tasks.

you need to add the datapack to the world folder somehow, i don't know what functionality aternos provides in that regard.

Every time I place the player, all the maps and item frames pop off after a few seconds.

You need to have a wall placed for the frames to go on to. Also make sure, you are not trying to place the screen from behind the screen.
