I love the new media control feature for the AV in the latest build.

For those people who haven't seen it, there's a volume control for parcel movies, not just music. Additionally, there's a stop and play button (square and triangle arrow). These buttons affect just the user's view of the movie.

Interesting Side effect:

A user's client will play the movie on the texture slated by the current parcel that the user is is. That is, any texture. So if, for instance, you and your neighbor use the same texture for the movie, you'll see your movie display on your neighbor's screen while you stand on your land. This will affect anyone on your land.

Interesting. 1.6 should be pretty pretty wild when it's released.

It is especially fun if you place the video on the texture for like dirt.. the whole world plays your video.
