need help with music url on my land ....

im having wats prolly th *slightest* problem getting music on my (rentd) land. i went 2 shoutcast, but cant get a url. i used jesse lindens sampl:
http://somafm-sc.streamguys.com:8066
& thats works. but i don no how 2 change channel? also i tryed yahoo launch, they gave me a url 4 my userID station. wen i play music (lower screen) it shows that it is playing (as i can stop it) but i cant hear anything. wacha think?

thnx - sugar

Um.. are you sure you typed the url correctly?

Seriously though... if you're not hearing anything chances are your link is pointing at a dead repeater. Try the link in a web browser and see if you get any music.

hi sugar,

if you are just looking for url's go to shoucast and open a station you are interested in. your winamp(default) will open and stream that station for you. once it's playing hit alt+3 and presto...a window will open up giving you the url you are listening too. type that into the media field in "about land>media"

hope that helps

Hi Sugar. It would help if you posted your message in English as I had quite a time translating it but here is a url for you to try that works: http://208.53.131.29:8080.

Just copy it onto your music url and if it works you know that your land is working ok.

Often times the links to the actual streams are embedded in the page in such a way as they are not directly accessible or understandable by the Second Life viewer. For those links that don't have an actual port number tagged onto the end, but instead point to web pages ending in .html, .asp, .aspx etc, you need to view the page source, and go digging around to find the actual links to the streams. This requires directly viewing the source of a web page, and knowing exactly what you're looking for, I won't go into it here.

Also, once a stream is set on your parcel, you cannot "change the channel". You'd have to change the stream URL on the media tab. That being said, there are many products available which enable you to manage your media streams for your land via menus. Perhaps someone else knows where to send you shopping for that..
