Can I understand when a movie is over?

Hi all,

I have set in my land a media URL which points to a mov file on a remote streaming server.
Through llParcelMediaCommandList I can easily start, stop, pause and loop a single .mov file, but I need to make a "playlist", i.e. to play a sequence of movs I have prepared without doing it manually.

To do this, I need to understand when the current playing clip is over, in order to play the next. Is there a particular event triggered when the streaming from an URL is over?

thank you all!

Nope. The sim never sees any of the video stream, that goes directly between the server at the clients. You'll need to manually assemble a list of clip lengths and use a timer to trigger them.

If you have webspace you can upload to you can use SMIL to assemble the clips into sequence.
