Bertone Audio Parcel Music Player (Radio) & Update Server

[Cookie Bertone]

Some time ago (2007) I developed a radio script for Second Life that I sold in my own store.  When I closed the store in 2010 (since reopened) I decided to give away the script for reuse by any resident and it was posted in the old forums.  To make it easier to find I am now posting it again here, although slightly updated to fix an glitch caused by recent (June 2017) changes to the llHTTPRequest command.

I don't ask for any L$ in return but if you use it, and especially sell it, please credit me.  Thanks.

Below is the radio script, a copy of the notecard, a copy of the server script and a copy of the server notecard.

Welcome

Since first discovering Second Life in October 2005 I loved the endless possibilities it offered and in July 2007 I opened Bertone Audio where I sold my very own scripted radio.

My store quickly became the #1 place to go in Second Life for audio and video streaming devices.  I won't lie, I made an absolute fortune, not only paying all my SL's fees but I was also making regular USD cash withdrawals !!

However, in the summer of 2010 Linden Labs changed the search rules and my sales dropped to a small fraction of what they had been so it was no longer economically viable to stay open.  In October that year my store closed its doors for what I thought would be the last time.

But how things change.  Thanks to a huge reduction in SL's fees and land costs I can now not only reopen my store but I have decided that I will make my radio available to everybody for absolutely nothing !!!  So here it is, my new store in Bilogorac.  Please take a radio, give it a try and if you like it please let me know.

----------

This is the instruction guide for all Bertone Audio radios.  Please note that it has not been updated since October 2010 and so some references to external sites and products may be out of date.

??

Landmark for my original store. (July 2007 - October 2010)
??

Radio version at time of writing was 1.62.

**** CONTENTS ****

1. Overview
2. Instructions
3. Playing your own MP3's in Second Life

IMPORTANT: All visitors are advised to take one of the FREE basic radios for parcel compatibility testing before purchasing a full system.

**** OVERVIEW ****

I hope the Bertone Audio radio is exactly what you are looking for in a parcel music player.

All of the Bertone Audio radios contain a script, customisable channel list and a set of instructions just like these.  The radios use a touch to activate menu or simple chat based commands and can be operated by the owner from within the same parcel.  The speakers and stands are for aesthetic purposes only and serve no function other than to look good.

The channel list will be checked every few weeks for changes and is available free of charge by either selecting the 'update' option in the player menu or from the information post in the store.  Why not join the Bertone Audio - Update Group and get instant notification of any updates?  It's free to join.

To purchase an item simply touch the item or the black/green L$ cube above it.

Thank you for visiting.

Notes:

* For use on group owned land the receiver must be deeded to the group and group members must have the group tag activated.  For use in apartments or on shared group land the officers must deem the user qualified to change the url on behalf of the group.

* Should you already own a device that uses the same channel please let me know and I'll sort out another that uses a different channel to avoid conflicts.

**** INSTRUCTIONS ****

The following will attempt to describe installation, use and modification of a Bertone Audio radio.  If you have any problems with a system that you have purchased please PM me, Cookie Bertone, and I will attempt to help you overcome the problem.

VERY IMPORTANT: If you are installing the system on group or rented land please ensure you have read and understood the notes below regarding this.

Overview:
-------------------------------------------
The system consists of (a) the receiver (b) speakers and (c) stand/s.  The speakers and stands are simple basic prims and have no purpose except to look good.  The receiver contains the working parts of the system which are the script and the station notecard as well as a copy of these instructions and a location for the store.  The script sets the streaming audio URL for the parcel the receiver is on and it cannot be viewed, modified or copied.  The station notecard contains the station list and can be freely modified. 

Installation:
-------------------------------------------
Place the receiver in the land parcel that you want to use it with.

In most circumstances the receiver must be owned by the owner of the parcel.  For use on group owned land the receiver must be deeded to the group and group members must have the group tag activated to be able to use it.  For use in apartments or on shared group land the officers must deem the user qualified to change the url on behalf of the group.

If the receiver is deeded to a group the channels notecard cannot be edited until ownership is returned to an individual.  That individual can then edit the notecard before returning ownership to its previous settings.

To select a channel:
-------------------------------------------
Touch the player to activate the menu, select 'tuner' and then select the station you would like to listen to.  To display more stations select one of the 'page' buttons (not available in free or basic player).

You can also control the player using chat commands.

In general chat enter /97 followed by a space and the button name of the station you want to listen to.  Eg: The button name for DI.fm's Lounge channel is di_lounge and for Sky FM's Best of the 80's channel it is sky_80s . To select either of those channels you would enter the following in chat: /97 di_lounge or /97 sky_80s .  To view a list of all channels enter /97 list .

From version 1.2.3 you can also display the current station in floating text above the receiver.  To display the floating text enter /97 texton.  To hide the floating text enter /97 textoff.

To view & modify available channels:
-------------------------------------------
With the 'full' version of the player the station notecard can be modified by the user without restrictions. To see the notecard right-click on the receiver and select 'Open' from the pie menu.  This will open the 'Object Contents' window.  You can now see the contents of the receiver which are the script, the channels notecard, the instructions notecard and a location.

If you double left-click on the channels notecard it will open in a new window.  You can now see all the channels that the receiver can use.  Each line of the channels notecard refers to one station.  Each line consists of three parts seperated by commas.  First is the stream URL, second is the description and third is the button name.

To add a new channel simply create a new line, enter the stream address, a description you understand and a button name, each seperated by commas.  You need to watch out for spaces on either side of the commas and to not use a button name that has already been used.  The button name is limited to twelve charachters.

To delete a channel just delete the line and to change a button name just overtype it.

Once finished save the notecard and then close the channels and Object Contents windows.  You then need to reset the script by selecting the device (right-click on it to open the pie menu) and then go to the 'Tools' menu (at the top of the Second Life window between 'World' and 'Help') and selecting 'Reset Scripts in Selection' for it to update.

* where applicable

If you ruin your notecard don't panic, new notecards are available from the dispenser in store.
