Hi Nelson, first start with the size of the website, if its primary purpose is to be viewed from Shared Media inworld you want a fixed height and width, and same with the content you design to go inside the frame. I don't know what the resolution is offhand for a SL Shared Media prim 1x1 but its fairly large, you just don't want to set the height of your webpage higher than SL Shared media resolution because then you will have 2 scroll bars, one for SL shared media, and one for the iframe. For example you set the iframe to be 900 pixels by 500 pixels. Then when you go into SL and load the URL on the prim face you want, tinker with the texture scaling, so you can "crop" the whitespace around the iframe.

like the person above said, you can try to use iframes, but Im not entirely sure SL Shared media works with iframes, I know the new embed codes for youtube and vimeo that work in iframes do not work on shared media. you can probably get away with creating your site using jquery and ajax so that the site url won't change to another user looking at the same prim.

Hi, there are 2 ways to do what you are asking. You can not directly play the DVD in Second Life. You can rip the DVD to a file, and upload it to the web, or you can stream it live to a video site like Ustream or justin.tv. If you want to view the movie on Shared Media on a Prim, the video format needs to be flash. Alternatively, you can use the old media parcel settings, and link to an MOV or quicktime formatted file. If the movie is something private that you do not want uploaded to say a site like Youtube, you would probably have to go the QUICKTIME route. Dropbox, which offers I believe 2-5 free gigs of space, has a public folder where you can drag your quicktime movie file into it, and grab the link. You can then place the public link to that movie file into your Land Media Parcel settings. Like I said this is different than web on a prim. Web on a prim will only support movies embedded in the flash format and will not work with SL Viewer 1 which some people will not let go of. You can possibly try using L1vestream (not sure why SL forum wont let me type that out) or Justin TV's video producer to capture the DVD if you are playing it live on your computer. Basically you are broadcasting the live video of the desktop (which you will run the DVD on). You do need decent bandwidth, and also depending on the content of your DVD if it is copyright material you are not supposed to use it on those sites, even though you can probably catch illegal DVD movie streaming on Justin TV or Ustream if you search for it. But also, just be aware, these "dvds" that they SELL in Second LIfe of real movies are not legal. First they are not real DVDs obviously, just a virtual scripted object that links to a movie file hosted somewhere, as I decribed above with the Quicktime Land Media Parcel. They are not legal, its essentially downloading a pirated movie. We at Metaverse TV distribute our inworld TVs for free, you should check them out. They are shared media (web on a prim) only, but we have designed some nice interfaces to search and watch videos from the major sites that give you the television experience instead of just throwing up a prim and going to youtube.com. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Metaverse-TV-Free-Collection-20-Includes-YouTube-Hulu-Viewer-2-ONLY/279580

Found the JIRA relating tot his issue. Please vote https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/CTS-477

Is this just with Radeon cards? It really is a bummer not being able to use this.

When using depth of field I get an odd line that goes through the screen. Basically the unfocused part of depth of field will cut acros the focused part like a line going into the direct center of the screen. So for example if I am focused on an avatar in the center of the screen I see a line of small triangles that radiates to the center, but you cannot see it in the unfocused part. If i focused in on the background and left the avatar unfocused this glitch line will show up on the focused part. I'll try to get a snapshot of this issue if no one else has had it or managed to fix it. I have a good graphics card AMD 5650 have upgraded drivers really to no avail. This happens on DOF in both the official SL viewer and Kirstens. Have not tried DOF in any other viewer but I assume it is universal. Any help would be appreciated.

All of the facial gestures in SL are built in, so you would make a script that calls the mouth open gesture (whichever one that is, i think a few of them do it) and you would probably need to have the animation triggered repeatedly on a loop so that the mouth wont close. I beleive the animation is express_open_mouth  http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Internal_Animations

I have not used the latest poser, but used it a few years back. I think for Poser you need to load an old Poser 3 or 4 character, not sure if they still allow that, but they are the ones that are compatible with SL. The newer characters probably have more joints and different layout than the SL avatar. If you end up learning a little more you could possible load the animation file in a program called bvhacker, it's free, but you will have to go in and tweak with the joints and rename things and it is probably beyond what you are looking for as a solution.

Episode 2 is out, thought you guys might like to take a look. Warning, there is some adult language, watch at your own discretion. :) http://metaversetv.com/blog/2011/08/the-real-desperate-housewives-of-beaver-ridge/

If the space nav works fine when you are not filming, and is laggy and stuttery when you are, that is probably to do with the power of your pc and/or speed of your hard drive. If you have an older or slower hard drive that would definitely cause the issue.

Thanks for the advice guys, I may change over to 10L, I'll definitely consider it. Thanks again.

Hi all, I have been having an issue with getting bad reviews on my product on the marketplace which are ridiculous and irrelevant. Is there any sort of moderation that can be done? The issue is this. We give away free prim televisions which work with Viewer 2 shared media. These are free items on the marketplace, and in the description of the product state several times that this is for VIEWER 2 only. As can be expected several people do not read this, get the free tvs, try to use them in viewer 1, and they do not work. Nor do shared media need scripts to operate. I was ok when this was just one or two reviews but this seems to be becoming a common problem, people are not reading the description, thinking they don't work, and run to post a terrible rating on the product. I've contacted a few of the raters that made text comments and told them about this and asked them if they could use the product in the correct viewer and then return and update their review, obviously none of these people care about my rating nor would put in the time to go and correct their bad review. How do you guys combat this issue? Its one thing if I was getting a bad review on the product, but it's another to get bad reviews from people who cannot simply read directions. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
