Hi

Is there a way to get a radio station to play on the media channel through a TV?

The problem is we have a radio stream in our club but we have a ballroom below and we need romantic music in there.

Can anyone help please !!!!

You can use the llParcelMediaCommandList function in a scripted device to direct a specific media stream at an individual avatar, overriding any default parcel stream.


The thing would have to be set to scan for avatars in one of the two areas and set the override media stream for them.

I don't know if packaged products to do this already exist, but then, I've not looked for them.

Cool would you happen to have a script that could do this?

the media setting can play radio streams directly without needing video so even without scripts you can play 2 different radio streams, you just need to inform people if they need to press play on the media tab or on the radio tab.

The trick is to select in about land under the media setting, the type audio instead of movie.

an added bonus to scripted per avatar control, the media/music URLS are not readable from about land/media, which only takes viewing admin options to see otherwise.

I'm curious about why llParcelMediaCommandList only works for the "video" side of the media settings (put in quotes since it does apply to more than just streaming video now). If you're looking to allow for different music streams people still want to click the music stream icon for that.

I know instructions can be given to get people to instead run with video, but why do we not have tools to target the audio stream only to a specific agent? Perhaps a jira feature request may be in order.....
