When a video stream is set, but it doesn't work, it would be very nice to be able to see some connection info: for example, "file not found", "can't resolve server", "too many connections", etc.

Actually, this would be helpful for audio streams too.

EDIT: Also, it would be nice to see error or status messages from the media player code.
EDIT: Maybe this info could go in the alt-F4 status window when a media connection is attempted.

A media stream can only be controlled from an object with the same owner as the parcel it is playing on. This means you must deed the object with the stream starting script to the group.

If that still doesn't work please file a bug report from within the preview.

A volume control for streaming video (like the one from streaming audio) would be really good.
