There is no plugin in the viewer - the LL client's built in browser, based on FireFox2 I believe, is completely cut down to zero plugins. And while it could be possible to update this embedded browser if you have a developer handy who can re-engineer the client, it's not a trivial task.
There is a way to get youtube videos streaming inworld and I think it involves finding a link for a mobile-compatible video link, and can be hit-and-miss. Others may have more info. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel Sent: 17 September 2009 22:39 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Opensim-users] Any plans on supporting the display of web Thanks a lot for that post, Chris. I'm looking for that solution very, very long and I wondered why I didn't get streaming media to work in OpenSim although it works in Second Life. But now I know why :) By the way, is there a possibility to update the flash player plugin in the Hippo Viewer to enable playback of current videos hosted on youtube? For me the Viewer complains that the flash player plugin seems to be to old. Is there any chance to update? -Daniel I did a blog post about this a while back, and it does indeed get the viewer displaying web content on a prim like on SL: http://www.reactiongrid.com/default/blogzone/ninjablog/09-04-11/Web_page _textures_on_a_prim.aspx It works to a point - you get to see web pages on prims, but there is a catch - I had trouble after making that change in viewing streaming media, and others had similar issues. It seems the autodetect code in the client is not clever enough. The better solution is to get mime types communicated between the OpenSim server and the client. I looked into this once before and it was somewhat tricky to unravel where the communications went (there was some LibOpenMetaverse involvement).
