Tiny Tutorial on how to play Movies in Second Life
Using the Firestorm Client 2014
1) First things first. You will want to download and install the most recent Quicktime from "http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" You do not need to sign up for the newsletter with your email. Just click Download.
I also recommend getting Silverlight "http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx" and also updating your Java. Neither of these are vital to playing movies on Second Life, however I still think it's a good idea. (Zombies hear things)
2) Go to your "Preferences" section of Second Life and under the "Sounds and Media" tab you will want to make sure that "Media" is enabled/checked. You may or may not need to restart SL after OK. To make this work. If you find you cannot click the movie camera in the upper right as will be seen in section 3 of this tutorial... then restart and see if it's available.
3) You should now be able to to click the movie camera in the upper right of your client to activate and play whatever movie is on the screen. This will work for basic theaters where the Movie url is already set by the land/parcel owner.
******In the Cases of a "DVD" Player and you see this below, you will want to get the note card on how their DVD system works for that specific Cinema. Some you may have to be part of the group to operate and change movies. Great places never ask in my experience.*****
