Streaming Media (videos) Player starter scripts?

Can anyone point me towards a basic streaming media (videos) player script? I am looking for just a basic framework to help me learn the flow / commands. I thank you in advance.

A basic media player (i.e. just playing one video) doesn't need scripts at all. You just use your "About Land" dialog to set it all up in the media tab, and apply the media texture to an object, and that's it.

Is there some other functionality you're looking for?

Start, by looking at these pages:

One of the most comprehensive video/media scripts is posted in the library, take a look here:

i made a very basic load video button script (video must me playable in quicktime)
first you have to set a prim screen with your video texture.
and on land propertys media tab set that texture (replace texture)

//Load Video Button by Lightwave Valkyrie
default
{

    state_entry()
    {
        llSetText("Daft Girls",<1,1,1>,1.0); //put floating text of name of video
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
       llParcelMediaCommandList( [PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_URL, "http://youtubemp4.com/video/MnL1xE1WFe0.mp4" ] );//put link to video here
            llSay(0,"Loading...");
            llParcelMediaCommandList ( [PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_STOP] );
            llSleep(1);
            llParcelMediaCommandList ( [PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_PLAY] );
            llSay(0, "Playing"); 
    }
}
[\code]

this uses 1 prim button per video currently but when we can use llDetectedTouchST(0);
there can be lots more per prim
also i found if your running your own server to host convert your files to .3gp
it will take much less space and load faster. as well as play at close to the same time for most ppl.

ps. currently i have gotten a new server for my videos and am up loading them
  but when its back up soon come to

to see my 9 prim video chooser 
"Lightwave's Anime Videos"

Thank you for all the replies. This definitely helps. Once again the forums have met the need.

Can I point the URL to a WMV stream other than MOV format?

As I only have MS stream server, if the answer is negative, how do I solve this?

Thank you!

I think quicktime can play mp4 but not wmv.
you would need to convert the format and I am not sure if windows can stream mp4 so you may need a 3rd party streamer too.
