This can't be a Lite issue, then. It might be related to Flash support being discontinued on IMVU, depending on the product(s) you're using. A lot of people's homepages broke as a result.

I don't think this will affect the built-in music player, though songs that were previously fine can later be disabled in certain countries, meaning you won't be able to hear them. It'll tell you such in the player interface, if that's the case. If you're having issues with no audio from streaming furniture and you're certain it isn't just muted, then it's likely a Flash Player issue. The easy workaround would be to stream the radio you want to listen to directly through your browser. Just need to Google the radio station name you're looking for, shouldn't be too hard to do. People have to physically stand on the node to hear audio from streaming furniture anyway, so it's not like the whole room is missing out.

I enjoying listening to the local station where I live in SL off of there as well, as do I listen to Rautemusik.fm at work and stuff.

Whenever I feel like updating. The current version works just fine and there wasn't anything really important in the new update. You guys are more than welcome to use my buymeacoffee link in the opening post if you want to encourage me to spend the time on it though.

Loved IMVULite since I found out about it. I only have one problem, though: I can't seem to use Radio or hear music (unless it's being played using an accessory). I looked around my PC's settings as well as the client's settings, but nothing seems amiss. The same problem applies to the regular Classic client from the Official Vu website. Anyone know why, or a workaround for this? Many thanks!

@Sietzcagiel

Yeah, it's probably a flash issue. Products using flash don't work anymore. There really isn't anything you can do on your end to fix them, IMVU would have to start supporting flash again which is never going to happen...and kind of for good reasons. Unfortunately this has left a hole in the market for interactive products.

What was the reason they stopped supporting Flash? I just assumed it was a money thing; Adobe's licenses aren't exactly known for being cheap.

Also, I am more concerned about IMVU's latest update messing up my rooms more than anything. Considering I've only ever done stuff on Classic, I'm hoping none of my furniture will move. Guess we'll see at a later date, I have zero intention of updating the client for a while. Here's hoping the mentioned "crash fixes" actually work as well, that was about the only issue I had with the current version whilst using OpenGL rendering.

Flash had security and performance issues, didn't work on mobile and several alternatives came about that kind of made it redundant. Also, Adobe stopped supporting flash back in 2020 and started blocking it in flash player in 2021.

Jeeesus. Calling that a mess would be an understatement. I mean you know it's a bad situation when Adobe starts nuking their own product. Out of curiosity, what were the alternatives? More than anything, I'm curious from the perspective of Second Life and what products are using these days. It's a minor thing, but some of the in-world games on there are a ton of fun. Card games, beer pong, etc.
