There was a bug where llSetPrimMediaParams() was not completely setting up the media texture data in the server.  I 
fixed this in commit ec89527 just now, so please give that a whirl.  I tested this against the latest Linden Lab viewer 
(2.5.1).

You'll also need to supply a valid url (http://info.aero.org doesn't currently resolve) and set PRIM_MEDIA_AUTO_PLAY, 
TRUE.  If you don't set the auto play, then the texture doesn't appear even if you manually set it afterwards.  I don't 
know yet whether this is a server or a client bug.

Further bug reports are very welcome.  It looks like these script functions haven't been tested for some time.
