New "&fmt=N" codes for YouTube...

Super cool... I just came across the &fmt=N codes for 1080p video...
Thank you to the userscripts.org site fo the post entitled
Add 1080p fmt=37 and 360p fmt=34?

So where's the Upload Option in the Viewer2?

A google search on uploading and the Viewer2 beta brought up this great set of instructions from the Sasy Pants Blog.
So it's in my inventory...
"UPLOAD has now moved to Inventory folder. All your upload functions are now in this area, so if you want to bring a picture, sound file, animation into world you will have to do it from the FILE menu in inventory."
Thank you to Sasy Scarborough for the great post on the whereabouts of the familiar options in the new UI!

Attending SL Pro! Conference today and trying out the SL Viewer2

I'm ill at home today, but managed to attend the SL Pro! conference at the New Media Consortium sims in Second Life. Tom Hale (T. Linden) gave the keynote. There area was packed and some people experienced SL voice (Vivox)issues.

I took the opportunity to download the new SL Viewer2 Beta.... and tried to figure it out on the fly. It's great... though I would advise watching Torley's videos to work through the new features and UI changes.
SL Beta Viewer:

Download: http://secondlife.com/beta-viewer/download.php?
My favourite new feature is the 'shared media object' whereby you can drag a URL for a collaborative site onto a prim for which you have permissions.... I'll try out dragging on video for tomorrow's class for the MH214 class.

Here we are at SL Pro! trying out the shared media object that has the URL from a collaborative site, Corillo.com dragged onto the object: http://colorillo.com/awhv?3v5aqn
