Talk:How To Show Video in SL

Alternate code

I believe the below is a cleaner way to code the example shown by Vinhold, but his script is shorter and easier to understand by some. Cron Stardust 10:23, 27 September 2007 (PDT)

Code: Basic Video Display Script

// This script would be used in the prim that will show the video on surface zero. // Touching the prim will start or stop the video display set in Land Media: Video. // Global Variable declarations key DefTexture; vector DefColor; list data; key texture; default { state_entry() { DefTexture = llGetTexture(0); // Save default texture set on prim surface zero. DefColor = llGetColor(0); // Save default color of prim surface zero state stopped; // Setup done, move to stopped state. } } state stopped { state_entry() { llParcelMediaCommandList([PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_STOP]); // Stop streaming to the device. llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TEXTURE,0,DefTexture,<1,1,0>,ZERO_VECTOR,0.0,PRIM_COLOR,0,DefColor,1.0,PRIM_FULLBRIGHT,0,TRUE]); } touch_start(integer total_number) { // Read land parcel media settings data = llParcelMediaQuery([PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_TEXTURE, PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_URL]); if (llList2String(data, 0) == "") { // Not a landowner or land group member error display key ErrTexture = llGetInventoryKey("ErrMsg"); // Get texture by name from inventory llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TEXTURE,0,ErrTexture,<1,1,0>,ZERO_VECTOR,0.0,PRIM_COLOR,0,<1,1,1>,1.0,PRIM_FULLBRIGHT,0,TRUE]); } else { // Ready to start playing state playing; } } } state playing { state_entry() { data = llParcelMediaQuery([PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_TEXTURE, PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_URL]); texture = (key) llList2String(data, 0); // Get texture for parcel to display llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TEXTURE,0,texture,<1,1,0>,ZERO_VECTOR,0.0,PRIM_COLOR,0,<1,1,1>,1.0,PRIM_FULLBRIGHT,0,TRUE]); llParcelMediaCommandList([PARCEL_MEDIA_COMMAND_PLAY]); // Start media playing to this device } touch_start(integer total_number) { state stopped; } }
