Here's the YouTube Channel for "House of Asils" http://www.youtube.com/user/AsilKaru My last post was the promo for NeoVictoria, it features characters who roleplay here:

We stream the machinimas we make about NeoVictoria in-world using the parcel stream. Here's the copy for the note-card we give to help folks get their media started. Suggestions for improvement will be appreciated; I'd especially appreciate a current link to the Lab's Official Third Party Viewer directory (the only one I can find points to the wiki). Thanks! --------------------------------------------- NC Name: How to Stream Media in SecondLife NC Description: A media streaming TIP sheet for watching media in-world NC Body Text: Its possible to listen to music and to watch videos that are hosted outside of Second Life when you're in-world. Here are some tips to help you listen to the music we play here AND to watch the movies we stream into the simulations. FIRST PREPARE YOUR COMPUTER To view any streaming video in SecondLife, your computer must have the latest version of Quicktime installed. Quicktime is a free software tool from Apple Computers. You can download it here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ If you don't have Quicktime installed, movies that are streamed into the simulation using the land parcel settings will NOT play for you. ------------------------- WATCHING VIDEOS ON SL VIEWER 1 If you're using SL Viewer 1.XX or a third-party variant, from the top menu drop-down, go to Edit > Preferences > Audio & Video (tab), Streaming Preferences, [check] "Play Streaming Media When Available", [check] "Automatically play media". Also, be sure the Volume sliders for "Master" and "Media" are both far enough to the right so that you can hear the content. ------------------------- WATCHING VIDEOS ON VIEWER 2 For SL Viewer 2.XX or a third-party variant, its a little different ...from the top menu, its ME > Preferences > Sound & Media (tab) > [check] Media slider to enabled and [check] Allow Media to auto-play. Here's a helpful URL if you want to learn more: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Playing_media Here's the official SL instructions for parcel media: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Land-parcel-media/ta-p/700097 ------------------------- LISTENING TO MUSIC If you want to watch the videos, turn the music stream off or you will have both playing at the same time and that will not be a good thing. You can toggle the music settings off the media preferences. We stream music from Radio Riel here ...specifically their Steampunk station. Here's its URL if you want to listen to it elsewhere: http://apollo.slserver.com:8402 ------------------------- WHAT'S A VIEWER? Sometimes called the viewer or the client, this is the software that you installed on your computer so you could log into Second Life. Not sure what viewer you're using? Go to HELP from the top menu and click on "About SecondLife". That will open a window advising what viewer (or client) you're currently running on your computer. The Lab offers several different viewers folks can us to connect to the grid. See http://secondlife.com/support/downloads/ There are also many third-party developers that make viewers people can use.
