Hello to everyone ! I want to know if is possible to stream more than one video in one land, because i have seen that in the 'About Land' window, i can enter just one URL for streaming video. I want to set, for example, 5 big screens in different place, but in the same land. Every big screen must stream a different .mov file. Is the scripting language the solution? Thanks for aswers and sorry for my english

Thanks for the aswer and sorry for my english  As far as I know only making more parcels will allow this. For example, if you had five seperate rooms you could cut the parcel so that each room sat on a seperate parcel, then avatars would see a seperate video stream in each room.

Thanks for the answer, ok I have understand what you mean. But in the 'About Land' window, i can enter just one URL for streaming video (and one for streaming audio), so where i have to put the others 4 URLs?

I think I have read somewhere that it IS possible to present several avatars with different streams, via the PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_AGENT option of llParcelMediaCommandList.

You can only enter one URL *per parcel.* Split up the land into separate parcels, and enter a different URL into each parcel's About Land dialog. Note, however, that this will not allow a user to see different streams simultaneously. The stream they view depends on what parcel they are over, which can obviously only ever be one at a time. As Rock noted above, it's possible to show different streams to different users via llParcelMediaCommandList, but this is still only one stream at a time per user.

Every parcel has the appropriate 'About Land' window, and so the appropriate URL for streaming video. I have understand  Thanks for help me!

Hmm. Maybe try creating a video divided physically into frames (like having a different movie playing in each corner of your TV) and then set the texture offsets and scales differently for different "screens"? No idea if that'll work. Maybe someone else can confirm or deny. Also, there'd be length issues obviously; if one video is longer than another, you'd have to clip one, or leave black-screen time on the other. I guess you'd be streaming 2-4 times the amount of data than you actually might need too, which may not be ideal. LOL.

No idea if that'll work. That'd work, but you'd obviously only be able to view them "in synch" with each other. It wouldn't gain you much over just viewing them all at once on one surface.

I think you need to specify a different texture uuid at the same time you specify an agent...
IIRC jana Komanchi has used this trick for audio only streams (basically just a movie stripped of visual data) on a per avatar basis. with luck she'll see and post...

another Thread

there seems to be another Thread where this issue is discussed. Also a new Link besides the Link to Johannas Blog is mentioned. But i had no time to try the script on that page .. The Thread can be found here: /54/05/238421/1.htmlalso i crosslinked the threads via a quote From: Markuz Pizzicato Hello to everyone !

It IS possible to have multiple videos playing on the same parcel, all specified by different URLs. Here are two ways to do it:
One, by having your script send a different url to each person using the PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_AGENT flag to llParcelMediaCommandList(), as mentioned above.
Two, by creating an SMIL file that lists all of the videos you want to play and where in the frame each one should be located. It's a lot like mixing all of your videos together into one video as suggested above, except you don't have to do the mixing at all. There's at least one video player in SL that does this behind the scenes, allowing 6 videos on one parcel. I can't find it, but I know I saw it.
Downside: only one video's sound is played.
