Question

Hello all,

Recently I placed a prim in our Dojo (we are a clan of Katana fighters), with a link to a youtube movie-clip featuring our group. Just some nice pics in a promotional slideshow, like an introduction for visitors and peeps that are interested.
This works okay, was pretty easy to set up and the 'new resident' seems to find their way to use it, as most of them enter SL with Viewer 2.0. ( yes, for a lot of non-noob visitors its just a prim..so I have placed a sign explaining what this object shows when you're using the 2.0 ).

Anyway, today I met this new resident in our dojo, running around naked. No big deal, new arrivals tend to like that or are unaware (we are in the Destination Guide and have some experience with new arrivals, lol). What annoyed me more was that he managed to play porn-videos on my display, instead of our decent promo-clip!

So, I asked him to get dressed and while he was busy looking for his pants I changed the settings, set security on it ( white listed web and stuff) but still the guy found it necessary to show me the '2 girls and a cup' video. And he managed to bring it on the prim. Then I took back the display, rezzed a new one..did the whole thing with security and when I was done....tataa...the (still naked..) guy showed me the porn again.

Now, I am not a prude and I have seen worse clips, thats not the issue. What does bother me is that apparently people can surf the web on a prim while it's secured? Besides, our sim is PG/G, so I can imagine it can offend people dropping by and seeing this..

Does anyone has any tips or trick for me on how to ensure showing the youtube-clip I want, instead of all kinds of other stuff? We have 3 clips on Youtube and I thought it would be nice if people could actually browse youtube on my prim and watch the movies about us.

FYI: I am in Kirstens Viewer S20, which should not be the point?

Feel free to drop by inworld and play with my prim..( em, the shared media-display that is!) and tell me what I forgot!

Hi Irene,

Thanks for the link, it was certainly most helpfull as I can now show the movie without the whole 'youtube site', so that made me happy to start with!

(the adding of _popup, in the link, great!)

I also, relogged and found out now there is a little flag in the browser on top of the prim, indicating its protected to showing only the link I want it to.

Will now ask some people that are in viewer 2.0 to test it, and see if they can still surf the web on my prim! (which I can, since its my object apparently)

 

Thanks again!

Cait
