Showing Media in SL

[Gandulf Marenwolf]

Are there any restrictions to showing a movie in SL using the MEDIA tab in About Land?

I did everything according to knowledgebase, but when I click the camera top right in my viewer screen (Firestorm) the picture just turns white and no movie shows.

I use the IP address from my own site and direct to a .mov, .mp4 or .flv movie i uploaded there.

Are there resolution restrictions or any other restrictions to movies to be shown in SL? My bandwidth I set to max in preferences. my max upload speed is 10 Mbit/sec and download is 150 Mbit/sec.

using the same address in my browser shows the movie without any problem.

I tried to address the movie directly (DomainAddress/movie) and via a website on my domain (DomainAddress/index.htm). All works in my browser, but not in SL.

What am I missing?

Do you have the latest version of Apple Quicktime and of Adobe Flash installed? Depending on which media viewer technology you are using in SL one of these will be utilized.

Thanks for your reply Karen, but yes, i have...

OKies next....if using a media player then the "Texture" on the screen must also be the exact same "texture" on the Media Texture setting in Worlf / About land / Media tab / Media Texture. By same I mean the drag and drop must use the texture that was supplied with the media screen.

also that I took care of.. the picture turns grey as soon as i click my movie camera, so reacts on the movie, but doesn't show. Also my TaskManager doesn't show i'm dowloading something.

I now notice with the .flv movie the screen turns black and my TaskManager shows a download of 7 Mbit/sec. But no sound or picture. The .mov and .mp4 files show now download and a grey screen. so something happens, but no picture in sl

OK - .flv movies only play on a media texture on a prim last time I checked. That utilizes the embedded Flash interface. MP4's from a streaming server will lod a QT overlay on the media texture that the land is set with.

Thank you Karen for trying to help me:) but do you have any idea why sl apparently downloads the stream from my server, but not is showing it on the prim? do i have any setting wrong perhaps? I thought i got it right, but perhaps not..
