Yeah, it doesn’t work for me. I don’t get the little link that says “download as mp4″ when i click “get youtube video”. A window pops up asking me if i want to save it or play it on a media player.

Hi, Love your vids but I have a question how do you keep playing your youtube vids in SL without havin to do this process all over again. I’ll leave for a half an hour and when I try to play the media URL’s that were saved they show up as Web Content in the box and they will not run. so what do I have to do?

but how do you play the movie in second life cus when i go to see a video its jut a black screen
February 11th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
I’m having the black media problem too. The link works for a few hours then when I return the URL becomes invalid. Probably the youtube team making systems to change the last numbers (video ID) in the URL for whatever reasons they have.
Any workarounds for this to obtain permanent URLs to use in SL please? This is an awesome possibility but it’s pointless if the URL brakes in a few hours
February 15th, 2009 at 12:49 am
The confusion sucks! There are a number of complications here. Needless to say, please pardon me — I should let you all know (thanks Wizard for the heads-up) that there exist better workarounds for this. YouTube blocks URLs in the comments, so ***BE SURE*** to see the link I’ll add to the description on the right.
Put updated info re: playing YouTube in SL there, and thanx!
February 18th, 2009 at 5:29 am
I informed Torley about this problem and suggested he remove this video on 8/19/2008. He responded so he knows about it.
February 18th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
This was a great idea, except that YouTube changes the URL after a few hours to a new one. When it does, that breaks your Media URL on your parcel and the video won’t play.
I’ll be passing this info on to Torley.

I too got the black screen. It worked perfectly at first but when I returned later it had stopped working. I ran the Google URL through QuickTime which gave an error message that it was invalid. I then returned to the original youtube page and reobtained the URL. Lo and behold it was a *new* URL which worked for an hour then reverted to invalid status. It seems the Google URLs expire *very* fast and *will not work* as permanent bookmarks for setting up long-term video displays in SL. Sucks.
February 21st, 2009 at 12:33 pm
I was able to do all this correctly. My visitors can see any video I place on there. But all I see is a black screen. so it totally doesn’t work for me. Any ideas? I have all the media turned on.
February 24th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
yeah sometimes the link stops working for me.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
this is really good thanks Torley!
February 28th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
I’m having this problem,too. I have to start over with pasting a URL in to make it work after a few hours. Annoying.
March 3rd, 2009 at 7:26 am

March 3rd, 2009 at 2:19 pm
