Hi Ian,
as I said, it's very basic... as there is still no way to display HTML as
textures on a prim (a Second Life "object"), I use my own server (outside
Second Life) to get the newest 10 headlines and create a .jpg for each
headline. The object in Second Life uses the LSL (Linden scripting language)
to make the http requests, and replace its texture with the updated media
resource.
Simple eh?
Re. the AV stream, for streaming in Second Life it would have to be a format
supported by Quicktime, which (unless I'm mistaken) the BBC feeds aren't?
Mario.
Only on the multicast trial (recent versions of QT support H264)

How does live video streaming work in Second life? Do you need to go
via a proxy?
There's also the odd news-related mp4 video downloads available as
part of the podcast trial

(not *exactly* Second Life fodder, but you never know.. there's always
space for some highbrow amid all the pron and gambling)
