| | {{#Widget:Redirect|url=/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Parcel-media/ta-p/700097}} |
| "Parcel media" is stuff you can play on your land parcel(s) in Second Life — like music, movies, webpages, etc. Once you learn how, it's easy to do.

| === What will play? === | |
| Any format that '''[http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ QuickTime]''' supports should work inworld, as well as standard webpages. So a good general rule is to try to play URLs in QuickTime Player or your web browser.
| |
| | |
| Formats like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_video Flash video] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Media Windows Media] aren't supported at this time.

| == Play media outside of Second Life ==
| |
| Media streams used inworld can also be played in external players, depending on what formats they support. The following are some popular options — if you're confused, start with '''QuickTime Player'''. Since these are 3rd-party programs, Linden Lab doesn't support them, but here's simple steps to enjoying media streams.

| Once you have a media URL:
| |
| | |
| === [http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ QuickTime Player] ===
| |
| Runs on Windows and Mac. Second Life media playback (aside from [[Third_Party_Libraries|Mozilla]]-compatible content like webpages) is based on QuickTime, so if it plays in QuickTime, it'll play inworld (and vice-versa).

| Runs on Windows and Mac. It [http://lists.apple.com/archives/QuickTime-Users/2004/Feb/msg00149.html can't] play RTSP/RTP, but QuickTime Player can.

| === [http://www.winamp.com/ Winamp] ===
| |
| Only runs on Windows. It's a popular player for Internet radio stations (like MP3-based ones) but doesn't play QuickTime video.

| === [http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ VLC] ===
| |
| Runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It plays a vast variety of formats, but isn't the most elegant to use and has some quirks (e.g., it doesn't play all RTSP/RTP streams).
| |
| * Use File menu > Network stream.
| |
| * From the Network tab, select an appropriate option, paste the URL, and click OK.
