Max No. of Prims with Media on them?

[Vindictii]

Hey guys,

I was at a sim that has several prims with media (movies, slideshows, etc.). As I walked through the sim the prims stopped showing media and the media on my HUDs stopped displaying. I was wondering if there is a cap on the number of prims that can show media at the same time. I am assuming that the number is 'per user' and not 'per sim' as others near me could still see media on prims that were blank for me. Does anyone know what the cap is? Is it a flat number of prims or is it tied to memory? Anyone know?

I believe it's governed by the debug setting PluginInstancesTotal - Hard limit on the number of plugins that will be instantiated at once for inworld media
The default setting is 8.

If you don't know how to get to debug settings: Activate the Advanced menu in the top menu bar with CTRL+ALT+D.
Advanced -> Show Debug Settings -> PluginInstancesTotal

Note that raising this limit could cause performance issues around a lot of media content.
