Acessing Other Player's Pov From Demos

I recently shot an email to Eric Smith about updating demos so we can access other people's pov. Its something that would really make a difference in cheating claims in our scene, failing to submit demos has small punishment compared to actually getting caught cheating. From what I was concerned with and what Ive seen in bug fixes on the workshop, no one has focused on this. It almost feels like the remaining tf2 team needs to work on this.

I hate to ask, but if anyone has thought about this, knows a way to make it work, please submit that to the workshop, otherwise, we might honestly just have to wait on the good graces of whatever work might go into it, if it even happens to begin with.

an issue that i have noticed is that when you're watching a POV demo on the death cam, you are seeing another player through the spectate camera, which despite being on a POV demo, carries with it all the issues with diagnosing aimbot that an STV has. this effect is displayed in the laz fenomeno video, where you can see the crosshair very clearly lagging behind players in spectate on laz's POV demos, much the same as if it were an STV demo (such as this STV clip where b4nny's crosshair is not even close to mirrorman as he pistols him

i say it every time theres a cheater thread and i'll say it again, STV demos are not very good for aimbotter discussion, and im not sure what adding that ability to POV demos would accomplish.

https://demos.tf/edit has the ability to turn any pov into an stv but it'll always face the same issues stv have (if not worse)
