Freeview TV by Crystalshard Foo

Written by: Headmaster

Needed this script and found that is lacked instructions, thanks to Cosmo Topper over at the OpenSim Forum, I included his instructions to help get the TV going. First the script:

 

//FreeView 1.2 WebGuide (revision 3) - By CrystalShard Foo
//Multifunctional Picture viewer and Video control script with webguide support
//This script is distributed for free and must stay that way. 

//              *** DO NOT SELL THIS SCRIPT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. ***

//Help for using this script can be obtained at: http://www.slguide.com/help

//Feel free to modify this script and post your improvement. Leave the credits intact but feel free to add your name at its bottom.
 
//Whats new:
//- Now using FULL_BRIGHT instead of PRIM_MATERIAL_LIGHT for the screen display
//- Added an ownership-change code to handle cases where FreeView gets deeded to group post Video Init.
//- Renamed WebGuide to TV-Guide to reflect what this thing does better.
//- Added a 'Fix Scale' button to Picture mode to help against user texture-scale changes.
//- Additional minor help-tips and code improvements

//Enjoy!

  Cosmos instructions:

    1. First in the About Land window Media tab choose a texture to use as Media Texture (as you would anyway). No need to add any URL here, the script will set those "on the fly" later.
    2. Create the prim to use as a monitor/screen, and drop the script in it's inventory (no need for any special texturing or anything here)
    3. Open the script and on line 24 replace ALL_SIDES with the number of the prim's face you want your media displayed on ( 1, 2, 3 or 4).

 

integer DISPLAY_ON_SIDE = ALL_SIDES; //Change this to change where the image will be displayed

    4. If you'll be using it for a picture "auto slide-show" (Picture loop) you may wish to modify on line 22 the time for picture rotation

integer PICTURE_ROTATION_TIMER = 60; //In whole seconds

    5.  If you want to restrict usage of the scripts configuration menu to just the owner or group members then change FALSE on line 288 to TRUE

if(llDetectedKey(0) != llGetOwner() && llDetectedGroup(0) == FALSE)

 Otherwise everyone will be able to change what it displays.
Be sure to Reset the script after any changes made.
Ready to choose your media.

Use it with Video

  • Touch your prim (hmm that sounds kinky) and a menu will appear to choose the mode, select Video.
  • Select Set URL and it will inform you to chat a media url in channel 1, select OK and then do just that in local chat like below

        /1 http://www.archive.org/download/VJ_Mission_Boundary_Issues/VJ_Mission_Boundary_Issues_512kb.mp4

give it a few seconds
Your media should be loaded on the face you selected on step 3 above - If a permission request appears select Allow - If you can't see it but you hear the sound you might need to rotate around the prim to locate the correct face.
Everytime you use the above method (Set URL) the script is actually setting the media url you type to current parcel media, and it's ok for setting up a single video.

Note: while video is being displayed the left click doesn't activate the menu, use right click and select Touch for it.

You can store multiple videos in a list and use the menu to navigate through them, by creating a note-card named bookmarks and copying it in the prims inventory along with the script. It must be in the following format:
title or description|media URL like below:

Sun Flight by Gerald McDermott|http://www.archive.org/download/sun_flight/sun_flight_512kb.mp4
Animation Remix|http://www.archive.org/download/Animation_Remix/AnimationRemixx_512kb.mp4

 Now from the menu (after selecting Video) you can use the Bookmarks button to navigate through the media on your list and choose Use to set as "active" (parcel media).

Video button particulars
Play, Stop function as expected. The Pause button works fine, but to resume playback I found I had to use the viewer's Play streaming media button - choosing Play from the menu restarts the video.
The loop button loops the currently set parcel media and I found that it works best if clicked when desired video is already set, but stopped.

Use it with Pictures/Images

Not much to say here, pretty straightforward, just add your images in the prims inventory (along script) click and choose Pictures from the menu.
Then you can Browse manualy through them or set an auto "slide show" with Loop.
Whatever you set for the pictures (single or looping) will be what others will see too - in contrast to the video setup that is partially dependent on the user's viewer streaming media preferences.

Additional Info

As left clicking on the face of the prim that is currently playing video doesn't brink up the menu (right click > Touch does) I tested clicking on other faces and they work fine, so if right clicking is not ideal to you, making these faces visibly available to a user might be another approach (Tapering came to mind, although somewhat crude).

You may add on line 159 additional file-type extensions (I have added to my copy mp4 and mv4)

if(ext == "mov" || ext == "avi" || ext == "mpg" || ext == "mpeg" || ext == "mp4" || ext == "m4v" || ext == "smil")

 Another proposed security mod (by Ai Austin) was to allow only specific avatars menu control, by adding right after line 288 the code below with the avatar names you wish

if(llDetectedName(0) != "Avatar Name" && llDetectedName(0) != "Another Avatar")

 The Help and TVGuide buttons do not lead to their supposed url targets for a good couple of years now (to the best of my knowledge).
TVGuide page used to be a categorized list of available streaming media urls, coded so that clicking on one could set it as parcel media straight into FreeView - unfortunately it got spammed to death.
The set Remote button (Video > Configuration) was needed only for the TVGuide funcionality mentioned above, specifically on group-deeded parcels, used in conjunction with a second prim containing the script below to enable group-deeded objects to use llLoadURL.
I haven't tested this part myself, and since the site isn't working seems somewhat irrelevent, but for completion's sake I thought I'd include it here.

        }
    }
   
    dataserver(key queryid, string data)
    {
        if(data!="" && data != NULL_KEY)
        {
            llSetText("This land is not deeded to group.\nFeel free to delete me.",<1,1,1>,1);
