Image and quotes from: The personal blog of
Giulio Prisco.
"I made this webcam avatar attachment, a real augmentationist wet dream. It is very simple, open a ustream account and assign one of the media stream feeds to a face of a prim. Here I used the pop-up window feed: http://www.ustream.tv/channel-popup/giulioprisco"
"This was not possible before SL2.0 because there was a limit of one media stream per parcel. Now you can wear your realtime webcam feed all the time, and SL can be used for videoconferencing."
"In principle, of course -- I have not tested what happens when 100 users display their realtime webcam feed, it would eat a lot of bandwidth."
I've read on other SL blogs that SL Viewer 2 shows only the 8 nearest Shared Media faces. The other Shared Media faces look like oak or whatever.
ReplyDeleteRe the 8 faces ----- In advanced debug --------
ReplyDeleteGo to the Advanced menu and click on Show Debug Settings.
PluginInstancesTotal -- set to 0 if you never want media on a prim to play, even if you click on a MoaP, or increase it if you want to see more than the default of 8. (Note that MoaP is not the only place where SLPlugin is used. It will also affect the "Home" panel of the sidebar, the Help Browser and the search. Setting this to 0 will not allow you to use the search anymore!)
