I just tested with Facebook and do not repro the problem. TKR

Yes, I can repro that problem with the sign in page http://twitter.com. but not with the about or help page. The problem seems to be specific to that page, not a general problem. My guess is that the sign-in page is detecting some condition -- perhaps an indication of inadequate security--that causes it to close rather than to permit sign in. I have never made a BOP from a sign-in page, before, so have no prior experience with that type of page. I will probably see if it happens with other sign-in pages when I have time I have worked with BOPS since before they went public, and have never heard of this problem before -- that is why I am interested in understanding it. TKR

I tested for the problem you described and did not find it. I set the web page by drag and drop the url onto the prim. My personal twitter page loaded on the prim and has stayed for more than 10 min. It even recovered when rezzed from inventory. It does go away when my avatar in not near it, but it reloads when the avatar comes back or when I focus on it. The reload can take a bit of time and might lead one to think that it is not working. This is normal behavior. The delay can be quite long if there are several BOPs nearby and in view. The bop I made is https for my account. so I can't send it to you as an example. If you have some http page you want me to test, send me the url in a notecard inworld and I will try it and send you the prim if it works. TKR

Two issues Repeat player Safe from control by others There are 2 ways you can play media on your land. Either can be set so only you or others you authorize can conrol it Getting automatic repeat is another matter The older way, still widely used is Parcel media That link is to tutorial content by the Lindens. This method requires access to the land media settings. Only the land owner or people with proper roles in the land owning group can change the settings. The auto replay would have to be done at the streaming source. A newer alternative is Bop: Browser on prim, advanced This method displays a regular web page on a prim. If the web page has a video that autostarts on load, it will probably autostart when the browser on the prim opens for the individual user. If not, the user will have to click the run button. Since a separate browser loads for each user, the user will see the video from the beginning. It will not auto-repeat, but the user can make it repeat as with any other browser. In this case, the prim can be set so that anyone can change the url. Or control of the url can be restricted to the owner. People using the Phienix viewer (and perhaps a few other old viewers) will not be able to see videos with the BOP method TKR
