I have been struggling for days trying to locate what I believe to be a phantom or hidden dvd player. I am unable to use any movie systems or dvd players without it reverting back to a certain music video channel....i have brought the creators of the dvd players and televisions and was told that video interrupting was not theirs....how can i locate this device so that I can control what media is played on my parcel?

I am the land owner, and group owner to whom the land is deeded to, and set to. If I copy and paste a URL into ABOUT LAND>MEDIA TAB>STREAMING MEDIA after about ten minutes it repopulates it with "http://download.ifilm.com/qt/portal/2753346_200.mov" no matter what I do. Does this help?

I have sensed objects using Force Prophecies and dont see anything unusual. I traced back one script back to a neigbors shop....other then that I am at a loss.

sorry/thanks in advance :)


UPDATED ** Is it possible to have dropped a dvd player inside the content tab of an item and have it still be working? I took my tv and dvd player to a different parcel of land...and DO NOT have this problem. I run a casino so I have hundreds of scripted items, but am digging thru them now looking for the PHANTOM MEDIA PLAYER!! :p

Very interesting...it does sound like a scipt is on the property hi-jacking your stream. To do this, on group-deeded land, it would need to be a script owned by a group member who's role allowed them to edit the land's media properties. If you are the group founder you can deny anyone but yourself this ability. Also, you can go to view >beacons > scripted objects if you want to check your property for the offending object. If you have no luck either way, please go to Request Help and let a Liaison know. You might need to be a bit patient depending on how busy it is, but hopefully they will be able to help :)
