Lindens Torley Linden Posted July 20, 2011 Lindens Share Posted July 20, 2011 Like to stay on the cutting edge? Have you noticed something new while testing the SL Viewer Beta and are wondering where to learn more about it? Keep these resources close: Beta Release Notes - What's fixed, new, and otherwise changed. Look in the News & Featured Pages box on the front page of wiki.secondlife.com (thanks Rand Linden!) If you're using the primary/main/official SL Viewer, you can always start here for Second Life help. As features become stable, help articles get moved to the Knowledge Base.

Linda Brynner Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hi Torley you have been my hero since a long time. Via you i learned SL, because i always understood that SL for you has always been much more than your job because i did understand where you came from, and how you found SL one day to elevate your freedom and expression from a certain personal position. However, i wished, so dearly wished that v2 is being thought over deeply. I started to try it with 2.4. That gave me constant micro freezes. I skipped 2.5 and went to 2.6. That had a pile of other showstoppers like constant freezes, and then 2.7.2 finally worked but has the beta search and then came 2.7.3/4/5... That has the general problem of tanking general fps. I was asked via a tickets to try 2.8, but i'm fed up with 2. It is not a matter of getting used to the UI coming from V1. I always have found V2 screen cluttering and unpractical therefore not really adding value to the immersive experience. The UI simply is horrific and HTTP textures slows down my load. Ok the latter i could turn off and and i at least have given 2 a try. But... pfew darn is that thing a pile of rubbish. Mind that my computer is exactly spot on concerning recommended specifications. Torley i am not quiet alone in this. V2 is a very hated viewer and is being hardly used by the majorty because of both the UI and too many showstoppers for too many. This is well know. What i simply don't understand is why LL just keeps acting as if all is well. I truly love your work Torley, but i gave up all about V2 and many with me i'm sure.

This is well know. What i simply don't understand is why LL just keeps acting as if all is well. LL already answered multiple times to this. I don't think you don't understand the reasons, I think you don't agree. Which is legit, but you shouldn't assume that LL manage Second Life the way you like. I see you mention what the majority of SL users does. Do you have any reliable data about viewers usage? Can you link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iyoba Tarantal Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 OK, this one is simple: The ability to stream sound is really awful in the newest release of 2.83 beta. Several radio stations that used to play on my land, have stopped doing so. They still work. I've tried them in Shoutcast and on my phone. Other radio stations play just fine. Bandwidth does not make a difference. Has any one else run into this issue. Also when I go to other sims, the streamed music sometimes cuts out intermittently. Other times it is just fine. Radio stations that play: Broadway World Radio: http://72.13.82.11:21688 WRVO http://pubint.ic.llnwd.net/stream/pubint_wrvo WICB http://www.live365.com/play/327162 Radio stations that no longer play: Deepmix.ru http://85.21.79.93:8040 New York Jewish Radio (Lakewood NJ) http://173.193.205.96:9016 This is a very weird problem. Does any one know how to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristizia Demonista Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'm using 3.0.0 Beta and so far i haven't noticed any difference (most of the time i use WinAmp anyway ). But i think that it would be rather strange to make the viewer responsible for not playing a select few stations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iyoba Tarantal Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Not as strange as it looks. The stations that don't play have 4 digit ports. The ones that do either have no port number listed or else have five digit port numbers. I didn't see the pattern until I pasted the links. Now the other reason this may be happening is that stations move around. The last time I "fixed" my radio was a few months ago. I can see if what is running in my script matches what I pasted above. That would make me look like a fool, but at least I'd solve my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iyoba Tarantal Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Well, I'm a fool. Three of the six radio stations on my radio had moved. A bit of script editing and everything works just fine. It's pretty good to be a fool with a working radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greene Paine Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 ....and then Iyoba Tarantal and his radio lived happily ever after. The End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keli Kyrie Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hi Torley, I found a group for Beta Users it is called "Beta Viewer: Live Grid*" it would be great if everyone that used Beta would join so we can talk about the latest bugs and work arounds that we found. For example on Beta 3.0.3 when you crash so does the crash logger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faye Llewellyn Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hi there, I recently started getting the message "Couldn't locate item in database" when trying to rez clothes that I own. The error message would state "Couldn't rez new pants" or "Couldn't rez new shirt". I relogged and was advised to clear my cache files. Now I can rez my clothes properly but I still get the error message "Couldn't locate items in database " whenever I log on or rez my clothes. Help please!

161488303349 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 That one been here like forever even on V1. Can get the notice attachment by opening group and finding in list of notices. Buy ya I agree. Is really annoying to click on something that indicates you can have by clicking and then have it not give you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bug. See JIRA VWR-22772 - click WATCH. The more watchers the sooner LL will work on it. If you haven't filed a JIRA item before read the instructions so you will know what information they need. Add your information as a comment to the existing JIRA.

Ashy Calcutt Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Firestorm works better than the official SL viewer when I use it its slow and sometimes unresponsive and yeah I had some of those errors but I had very few to none while using firestorm and I think its faster than the LL Viewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayrah Parx Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'll be able to switch from Snowglobe when I can get the same interface or better for my needs. Until then, I refuse to be forced into using a third-party viewer just to have a viewer that's usable for my needs. The biggest issue is web profiles in the viewer. I like the web profiles and they're a great bonus when used in an external browser, but they should not replace the original kind of profile in the viewer. Sometimes I consider switching and learning to deal with all the annoying things, but then I remember that there's no option for original profiles instead of web view profiles.

KianaWester Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I've been using the beta viewer for a while now, under windows and linux. And I must say I really love the new viewer. Been using third party viewers for a while and completely switched to the new viewer. Had a few crashes, but that is to be expected from a beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeRose Eiren Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I wasn't sure where to post this - so thought I'd start here. First, I LOVE the SL Viewer Beta, it just is terrific. The one thing though that I find frustrating and perhaps there is a better way to do this is that I wish there was a way, as there is in Firestorm, to link the "Local" chat with the rest of the conversation windows. It doesn't have the "link" button as it does in Firestorm and was a great feature way back in Viewer 1. Is it possible to add the link feature to the local chat window so that it can link with the rest of the open conversation IM and Group windows? If there is a new/better way to do this in the new Beta Viewer, can you tell me how to do it? Thank you so very much!! -ZoeRose Eiren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinda Elton Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hi ! Thanks for your efforts, what I've noticed in the new version in the IMs.. and the way we write IMs. I had to get back to the previous version just for the instanst message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teagan Tobias Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Is there a window where I can get back to IMs after I close them, like the Communicate window in viewer 1. I have asked in the Technology Forum but no one has an answer, so I am guessing there is not. And if not, another button in the Toolbar would be nice, viewer 1 style IMs. Please.

Tristizia Demonista Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 As long as you have your chatlogs enabled, you will allways be able to see what was said in a previous conversation with another User, even after you close an IM. And im afraid a simple Toolbar-Button wouldn't provide you with this option either, because this sounds like a function that simply does not exist in V2/3.

Teagan Tobias Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Chat and IM logs are saved to my computer, but going outside of SL to see a message is not acceptable. I have been installing viewer 2 and after a very short look around, uninstalling it and waiting for several updates before trying again. Viewer 3 looked very promising with the side bar gone. But the IMs as they stand are unusable to me. I will go back to my TPV and check back in a couple of months. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristizia Demonista Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Why going outside of SL ? Every previous session will be seen INSIDE the IM Tab, although greyed. So, whenever you have a conversation with somebody you had a previous one before, everything said before is right in front of your eyes! I really don't see what problem you have here.

Teagan Tobias Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 It sounds like the problem here is that I just don't know what I am doing, and I am OK with that, learning is a good thing. You say “Every previous session will be seen INSIDE the IM Tab”. So my question is, where is that IM tab? Say I close an IM to accomplish something and now I want to get back to the IM tab, where is it? Where do I open my IM conversations to look at them?
