Cool VL Viewer forum

I've been having problems with Media On A Prim starting automatically and the only way I can stop it is to go into go into Media settings in Preferences and uncheck Play Media when Available, or Play Shared Media. I can recheck them after and it doesn't restart again. It's also bypassing the audio controls. If I mute Media, or even Master, it makes no difference, I still hear it. This has happened on both Second Life and OpenSim grids.

Your description is quite vague and the log does not even show a shared media (movie, music) playing short of web sites (which may contain embedded HTML5 or Flash media, that will indeed start playing: this is the expected behaviour if you checked all three "Play media when available", "Play shared media" and any of the three sub-options for the latter !).

Note also that the viewer *cannot* intercept the sound and mute settings for media embedded in a web page played as a shared media (especially Flash ones): you must use your system sound mixer to catch those...

So, I do not see anything wrong here...

The media that started playing is on line 968,969 and 980 of the log. It's a youtube video, so I'll uncheck Play Media When Available. That makes sense actually. I didn't know about the viewer not being able to intercept sound from a webpage.

Thanks Henri.
