Is there any way that any visitor to a plot of land can change the media stream on a parcel by clicking on a scripted item?
The visitors will not necesarily be in the group, and certainly won't be the landowner.
I know there are 'issues' with this happening generally (griefers for example could change the stream in a club) but is there a way to give one of my objects permission for anyone to change the parcel stream?

You'd have thought it was a fairly common kind of request - albeit needing protection just in case of a griefer. I know I can put the media streams on a separate parcel of land but when there's 30ish streams, it's going to make a rather large area I don't have.

The visitor wouldn't have to have group rights, if you coded the object that way..
It's just the object itself (the one with the script that changes the media setting) that needs to be deeded to the group. Also, that's not "set to the group" - it has to be actually owned by the group.

Ok that seems to be working ... excellent... only thought is I recall deeding things to group before and that 'locks' them, I can't edit them or change anything if I need to. Is there a way to 'undeed' the item so it can be edited (as owner of item) and then re-deed it? Last time I just ended up deleting the damn thing and putting a new copy out.

Unfortunately that is your only option. Be sure to keep an "open" copy (not deeded) - to be sure you can rez and make changes to scripts, etc.
Once deeded to group, that does in effect change permissions to the point where you are no longer able to modify the object. Somewhat of a pain, but not too bad as long as you keep a copy.
I had to deal with this creating a simple movie viewer for a client. Parcled off classrooms, etc. I also had to delete / re-rez to be able to edit my items as I went along.
Take care -Hap

You can still do quite a bit of modification as long as you 1.) have the apropriate ability set in one of your group roles, and 2.) give modify permissions--before deeding--to the next owner (the next owner being the group, and by extension any group members able to edit group objects). If you don't want other group members to be able to take a copy, turn off transfer permissions before deeding.
You SHOULD still keep a copy in your inventory though. In fact, even if you can perform the desired modifications on the deeded object, I recommend doing it on one in your possession, keeping a copy, and re-deeding it. Same reason you should ALWAYS modify scripts of any notable complexity in your own inventory, then copy them to your objects. You'll save yourself a lot of headache by developing a habit of maintaining your scripts and builds this way.
