Multi Use Media Player?

Hey everyone. I set up a lounge-type place in my sim, and I'm looking for a useful media system I can use that allows others to access it as well.

I found a FreeView TV on SLX that essentially does what I want... but it's incapable of playing YouTube videos.

There were also other players that listed video sites I hadn't heard of and more... so I'm also looking the public access + as many hosted sites as possible

I was curious if it there was a media system out there that I can either set a default video to play, or leave it blank... and after, say, 5minutes it defaults back to that video (or nothing at all) when it's finished being used? This isn't essential, but having a video always set, I think would give more notice-ability to the lounge down below... or just give the sim a default artsy look with a spiffy vid in the bg.


**Since FreeView uses hosted videos, such as avi or mov, I think there's a better possibility of misuse of the video system... I'm not too concerned with this since I'm usually always availble to immediately catch it, but a bigger question is: If this were to let the members of the group access, would there be any copyright ingringements for playing movies uploaded?


thanks everyone for your help in advance!

Moin duLuna,

playing youtube is a trick of rewriting the filename to use youtubemp4.com. Take a look at my lsDeejay scripts at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Kephra_Nurmi or pick the freebee at my 'Deejay Sandbox' in Apoda.

ciao,Kephra
