I have seen prims shaped as a DVD box that can be rezzed onworld and when clicked will play a movie......so that when you click on the prim any video screen near by will play the video from the prim.........I'm assuming these are streaming the video from somewhere?.......If i am right can anyone tell me how i can make these prims that will rezz onworld and play my video's when clicked..........i have my own website and want to play the video i have there.
Thank You

This is Torley's video tutorial on how to play media.

I'm assuming you mean using a parcel's media stream to play a movie on a prim.

Hi Jerboa....

No....actually what i'm talking about is having a prim in second life that when clicked on will start up a video on any tv or video screen near it..........i'm assuming the prim will have code that takes you directly to the movie url and start it up on any screen near by.
thank you

The prim most likely contains a script that sets the video stream for the parcel you are on and then uses the llParcelMediaCommandList script function to start video playback. This would only work if the prim were owned by the owner of the land or was deeded to the group if the land is group owned.

It's a pretty cool idea. There is someone who has a video rental service in SL. It's like 250 lindens to rent a movie. In 5 days it won't work. Just like RL :)

Hello Zuleika Deere,

This is something I've wondered about too. Could you send me this script as well ^_^
