well, I clicked your link ("Click Here";) and RealPlayer popped open I I saw SLinko! I was a little disappointed that there was no sound.

So far, so good Jack. :)

I note that realplayer has some trouble playing this, but quicktime player thinks it's the nicest stream since the Catskills.

The link on that page works with Internet Explorer. On Firefox, you are just stuck at a quicktime logo. Also, the video is severely cutoff, you can only see a tiny portion of the screen.

I see you Hank!

Edit: Is anyone getting a better frame rate than ZERO?

I saw someone flying around toward a landmark beacon, then RealPlayer locked up.

I'm currently getting around 8fps. The bitrate is 140kbits/sec. Good quality. Showing a bunch of folks dancing around. I'm using the Quicktime Player at the moment to view it. It's 12:30 SL time.

I got it to work with Explorer via the website link. Hank is right about Firefox and just seeing the QT logo.

I saw a girl dancing and it had the location of the camera so I went there and, sure enough, there she was dancing. I looked again and I was on camera, so I waved a couple of times and got the heck out of there! LOL.

Totally bizarre :-)

I opened the stream in QuickTime Player (launched from the Start menu) and it works fine!
(It didn't work in Mozilla Firefox.)

Then I set up my land parcel movie url, and that works, too.
Funny to see SL in SL! :-)

I see green!! Opened it on quicktime, from firefox. It doesn't appear to like it.

It clearly is open in Quicktime though. :-(

All I'm seeing most of the time is green as well. Usually it's like a green screen with random pixels all over it.. but then sometimes I see a still image that says "Live Spittoonie TV" on the bottom or something.. but no motion as of yet! :cool:

Hmmm... on Firefox, nothing but Quicktime logo, as others have said; on IE, it cycled through several "waiting for media" sessions, then informed me "-5408: Timed Out." Zip, zilch, nothing, nada, nyet.
