multiple video

Hi,

been searching the forums with no luck

but is it possible to use multiple videostreams on a parcel for a singel avatar.

ie. i got 3 tv screen playing each a different video on one parcel. and they can be viewed at the same time by each avatar.

imagine yourself in a tv store where you see multiple tv's playing but with different video's on it.

is this possible?

It is possible to play different video-streams for individual agents by using something like

touch_start(integer num_detected)
{

            llParcelMediaCommandList( [
            PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_AGENT, llDetectedKey(0),
            PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_TIME, START_TIME,
            PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_PLAY ] );
}

The PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_AGENT, llDetectedKey(0) - command directs the stream to a single agent...

I have no idea, though, what happens if you use this command multiple times - I assume, though, that it will fail... Give it a try - would be interesting to find out

(more about the llParcelMediaCommandList can be found here: http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llParcelMediaCommandList - check the «Advanced example»)

Technically, it is not possible. A viewer can only view one QT stream at a time. However, it can be done with some trickeration. You need to create a QT stream consisting of your multiple videos. If you have four videos, merge them into one single stream as a quad-split. Then, in SL, offset the media textures to show the individual splits. In the end, you have one stream, but it appears to be four streams.

I've always wanted to try something like you describe, DoteDote. It'd be a fun experiment.

or instead of 4 video screens, maybe multiple animated video 'textures' for a prim avatar or art piece

but found very little on the topic. In fact responses to Lonewolf's question is about the most I have seen on-topic. In the end I bought an inworld product from someone who managed to stream multiple videos to one parcel for an av or avatars to select to watch. I use it for my rental properties on group land, but interestingly this specific product does not use the media tabs in the parcel at all. Would LOVE to know how they did that, as the product works very well.
