PBR influencing media texture
under review
Livio Korobase
For personal reasons (i wanted a audio/video stream where all are in a real sync) i have setup a server for can stream in SL webM videos (as explained at https://slmusiclab.wordpress.com/2024/04/24/vjing-live-and-in-sync-in-second-life/.
The system work well, all can see and listen the stream with pre v.7 viewer, but viewer 7 don't show the video. Connection with video source is made with a simple URL, nothing strange or difficult.
What expected: same behavior on all viewers
What happen: V. 7 viewers don't show the video. They make connection with server but screen remain black (i tried LL viewer, Firestorm and Alchemy).
BUT
If i apply the media URL to the dedicated face of a MOAP with v. 7 viewer, then also the v.7 viewer work.

I did some progress. I changed some settings at muxer level, and now also 7.x seem working. I tried with Firestorm only, later i do a try with other 7.x viewers. For some reason the viewer 7.x for start the view need more infos from server than 6.x.

What is the exact version of the 6.x viewer that works? I want compare the 3rd party library versions in that viewer with a 7.x viewer and see what changed.

Hi Livio.
I want to be clear about the case the does not work. You are applying a media URL to Media on a Prim with a 6.x viewer. You are not using parcel media or anything like that. Is that right?
Do you know of any sample media URLs that we can look at that demonstrate this bug?
Livio Korobase
Dan Linden Yes, MOAP. On 6.x work, on 7.x no. More well, on 7.x the viewer load the stream, but instead play the video remain black, as waiting something. Doing many tries clicking on Video button of viewer maybe also 7.x start play, but random. The URL i use is http://vps-94bab050.vps.ovh.net:8000/video, but if there is not something running you get a error 404.
What is difficult for me understand is why with 6.x all fine while with 7.x no, i tought maybe is the texture panel changed because PBR.
I applied same URL with a 7.x viewer, stream started work but then on relog stopped. If you tell me a moment you can i can show you or i let the server running with some media so you can try by yourself.
Another point maybe useful: the stream is completely accessible via web browser, so is something inside the viewer.

At right, OBS sending the stream. At center, viewer 6.x showing the video, at left viewer 7.x showing black video using the same URL as source.
