[rapidphim]

can this mod play YouTube, Google Video, YouJams?

[Dream]

I have this problem on few stations too (some of those SKY channels). I didn't have this 2 weeks ago.
What is it? Stations not playing? Sometimes the station server may be down.
can this mod play YouTube, Google Video, YouJams?

no

no
It was the SKY FM - Classic Rap channel.. didn't work for week, just tested and now it works. :)

Guess the server was down. ;)

[Dream]

Can noone help me?

I cant see a Player. The Stations played in QT.

What shell i do?


And where i copy that code in? In witch row?
That code goes in the navbar, at the top, row 0 would be.

[edenx]

thank you

[wickland]

heck yeah! nice one! :)

[wickland]

How do I find a stations ID? I want to set smooth jazz as my default.

[Dream]

Hover the station link, and check the browsers status bar, the number is the station ID.

[wickland]

WoW man, that is one of the coolest hacks and original ideas ever. This is the best of the month for me.

[F.S.A]

Thank you Dream for this amazing add on. I've a couple of questions if you don't mind:

1- How do I edit/delete a station (name/url/website) after adding it? Do I have to modify the .XML file and re-upload it each time I want to do this? Please note that I'll recieve the "Station already exist" message.
I had to go to PHPMyAdmin to delete the station << -bored-

2- How can I insert *NEW* category? Delete *Existing* category?


BTW, in the ACP, all what I get is this:
for importing:

for options:

[Dream]

You have the option to edit the station and edit categories on the radio stations window. Check if your user group is part of the admin user groups in the radio station options, then you'll be able to do this.

The option for radio stations admins is on vBulletin Options >> Radio Stations Options in the admin cp.

[F.S.A]

I am the admin of my forum, and my user group is 6, yet I can't edit nor do any administrative work for the stations :(
I tried to add another user group for the (administrators) field and it worked, but the main administrator user group (6) didn't work.

What do you think the reason is?

[soletrader]

where do i find the radio ID number?

Hello Dream
No am not a member of any other group, only the admin group # 6.

[Memphis834@yaho]

Does anyone know where I can XML files to upload to the radio station? I'm looking for a hip hop radio station. Not sure how the stream process works. Can I stream anything or do I have to upload an xml file?

[Dream]

Hello Dream

Sorry I'm also just a member of group 6 and it works perfect in my boards.

You add the radio in the radio stations window, you can use any streaming URL Windows Media Player can play.

[aztecboi2003]

I installed this and everything went fine. But now I can't upload or delete stations as the admin. I can upload as a member though. Any help here please? Also users can't delete the stations they added. I can pm you a link if you need to check it out.

[aslan]

Thank's it's excellent.

Whats your user group and what user groups did you put in the radio stations administrators user group in the options? What user groups can add/edit/delete stations and what group in the options are they in?

[DarthRevo]

this is a sweet hack..thanks!

[Skavenger]

some bugs:

- there is a bug with username links in the report feature

http://i17.tinypic.com/4msh1kh.jpg

- if someone report a station as a duplicate, in 'report type' it says 'station doesn't work' instead of 'duplicate'

- after deleting a radio station that is in the reports, the radio row is still there

[aztecboi2003]

Whats your user group and what user groups did you put in the radio stations administrators user group in the options? What user groups can add/edit/delete stations and what group in the options are they in?

I'm admin as 6 and I used the default settings. I took a screenshot also. I then didn't want full users 2,5,7 to add stations if I couldn't delete them so I moved them to the half users. I then logged in as a user and was still able to add stations, even though I had taken away that ability. Other than this small bug I love this product of yours.

[Dream]

I think the problem is that you have put yourself in the banned users, are you userid 1? The banned users work with userids, not usergroup ids.

[aztecboi2003]

I think the problem is that you have put yourself in the banned users, are you userid 1? The banned users work with userids, not usergroup ids.

Yes I'm user id 1. I changed it and it works perfect. Thanks for the help, Dreams.

[Dream]

Dreams? :D

[kylek]

Anyone know if this works okay with Macs? I am just getting around to replacing vbradio with this one.

[Dream]

Yes this has been tested with Mac, and the stations are played by Quicktime? I think, or some other program.

[Tulsa]

I use it on a MAC and it works like a Dream.

Sorry, couldn't resist.. ;)

[Dream]

Updated to version 1.1, fixed all problems people were having

- changed order on setting usergroup permissions, requirements are now checked in this order: Half User > Full User > Admin > Banned User, checks for primary and secondary usergroups and userids for banned users
- fixed style issue with the station pages
- fixed duplicate station not being reported ("reporttype" gpc var wasn't being cleaned)
- fixed member number not showing on "reported by" url (was using $user[userid] instead $report[userid])
- fixed station not being editable/deletable by user who added it ($vbulletin var wasn't on global in function rs_construct_station_options() and rs_check_ownership() )


Upgrade is easy just follow the instructions in upgrade.txt. You won't need to revert any template.

The only template changed is RADIOSTATIONS_STATIONS_NAVBAR, if you like the old one with table border replace it with this:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" align="center">
<div class="fieldset" style="margin:0px">
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<form action="javascript:listCategory()" name="listCategoryForm">
<td class="smallfont" align="left">
$html_category_list
<input type="Submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[rs_update]" name="send" />
</td>
</form>
<td align="center">
<strong>$html_random_station</strong>
</td>
<form action="javascript:searchStation()" name="searchForm">
<td class="smallfont" align="right">
<input type="Text" name="searchfor" class="smallfont" size="20" />
<input type="Submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[rs_search]" name="send" />
</td>
</form>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />


edit: RADIOSTATIONS_PAGES was also changed, but I doubt anyone customized that.

[bazzup]

cheers for the update

[wickland]

updated

Hi there, Dream.

I just found a bug that I don't know if has already been reported (I'm using 1.1 actually).

I had a single category and just one station and, after doing some tests, just decided to remove the station. When I clicked on the "Remove" link all I got was a horrible javascript alert window with HTML content in it (I could read the tags). After checking it, I found that it was the vB database error page.

Checked my email and found there the complete information of what had happend:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL:

Hi there, Dream.

I just found a bug that I don't know if has already been reported (I'm using 1.1 actually).

...


Well this mod wasn't really designed to have 0 stations so I'm not sure that's a bug. It will go away as soon as you add one station, I'm not sure it's worth adding more code to check for that.

Ok divide it on standard & advanced and I will do a large donation ;)


What do you expect of an advanced version?

[iogames]

Standard = Simple Player with the Stats on the left as you have it...
Advanced= The rest of the Features, is not adding more, just dividing for aesthetic purposes ;)

What were you doing when you got that?

[bostton1]

I was wondering if there is any way for the media player to restart automatically(like when you first launch the player) after you click on one of the catergories. its gets kind of annoying browsing then having to scroll to the top and hit the play button twice all the time.

[MotMann]

I use it on a MAC and it works like a Dream.

Sorry, couldn't resist.. ;)

You see the Player? And the stations will not be open in Quick Time? Some Mac Users can't see the Player :(

That code goes in the navbar, at the top, row 0 would be.

But that have nothing to to with the Player to see? Or is this the Code for the link to the station?
That (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1309901&postcount=254) was my post..

[Tulsa]

You see the Player? And the stations will not be open in Quick Time? Some Mac Users can't see the Player :(



If you've not added this download to your system, it's a good idea.

http://www.flip4mac.com/download.htm

Just download the windows media component for quicktime.

[MotMann]

Hä? Why that? The User will see the Player in the Browser, and not in the Quick Time Player....

[Tulsa]

That's the way it works for me and I prefer it that way. Your mileage may vary...

[MotMann]

So. Did you here the music over Quick Time or with the Player in the Browser?

[Tulsa]

The player in the browser, which will also show the tvshows that some had uploaded, you can tie in webcams to it as well. I find it works quite well for my needs and other websites that use embedded players, I can now see those as well.

[MotMann]

Why it works. My Mac-User don't see the Player :(

[Tulsa]

What browser are you all using?

[Dream]

When you click the station it should start playing automatically.

[El Burro]

Brilliant !!!

Thank you so much

You've got another vote!!!!

[MotMann]

What browser are you all using?

Safari, FireFox, Omniweb

[Tulsa]

Well it works just fine on a Mac using Firefox 2.0, Safari and Opera. Camino won't show it but it will play it. I've never tried omniweb.

[MotMann]

And what you do, what i dont know?

http://www.xbox360gamertag.de/Forum/radiostations.php

[Tulsa]

I went to your site and loaded up sky fm hits 70's and it worked just fine. Then I loaded up DI-FM Chillout and it worked just fine. It's not an issue with this mod or your installation of it. Everything's checking out okay.

[MotMann]

hmmm. And why don't open Quick Time if you use the station? Any idea?

[Tulsa]

This mod isn't calling quicktime, it's calling the windows media player plugin. You need to load the flip4mac I pointed you to earlier which will make your Mac browser compatible with it. Or you can go into the radiostations_player template and change it to your liking I suppose.

[MotMann]

I have Flip4Mac installed.

[Tulsa]

and you're not hearing the radio stations?

[Megareus Rex]

For anyone who can help, I get this mysql error when trying to upload the product:

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ENGINE=MyISAM' at line 15
Error Number : 1064

Does anyone have any idea what causes it, and/or how to fix it?

[Tulsa]

I have Flip4Mac installed.

Well you got me curious and in the settings in the system preferences panel, you can select flip4mac's preferences and set it to launch the quicktime player. Restart your browser and it will redirect it to open quicktime.

and it was working for about 2 minutes before that

[Dream]

Did you import the default radio stations?

[MiahBeSmokin420]

forsure man

like i said it worked for about 2-3 minutes then

i deleted some stations that didnt load

then poof i get that error every time

[Dream]

Did you put anything in your default station in the options? Any station you could have deleted?

Why? I dont will see the Quick Time Player. You dont understand me? :D

You told me, that the Script runs perfect on your side. An than you mean, that the Quick Time Player will be open, thats wrong ;)

[yahoooh]

how to make it open in the same page with navbar and footer like any other module , because now it just open as popup which get error with some popup blockers

[SuperTaz]

Works great now. Thanks. I had to fix a path and now it works fine.

[Tulsa]

Why? I dont will see the Quick Time Player. You dont understand me? :D

I think you may be correct that I don't understand you or you, me. :D

What I'm saying is everything works for the Mac and FF and this script. In making a small adjustment inside of flip4mac, it will open the external quicktime player on the Mac instead of using the player in the script. Which is what I thought I understood you were wanting to do.

[Baza]

hey, dude

is there any possible way to make a station default and to add .pls radio files

thanks

[El Burro]

Hi,

I didn't want to add this in my navbar. (too many buttons to move around)
I set up a link forum - which opened radiosations.php

The problem was that I couldn't get it to open in a new window.

So I hacked together this radiostations.html

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<title>Dreams Radio Stations</title>

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="1;url=http://www.yoursite.com/forums/">
</head>

<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.open("http://www.yoursite.com/forums/radiostations.php", "blank");
</script>
</body>
</html>

Now point the linked forum to radiostations.html and it opens a new window for the radio station and the old window redirect to forumhome.

:)

[Dream]

hey, dude

thanks
There is an option to make a default station in the options. Dunno about .pls files.

[Dream]

Just to say, this mod kicks ass :D I listen to radio on my forum all the time.

I'm very proud of myself.

[aztecboi2003]

Can't we globalize a variable to make this work on vBadvanced CMPS? I really dunno what that means but, I did it like they said for another hack and it worked.

[Dream]

Sorry aztecboi, I don't use vBa so I wouldn't know. Maybe someone else can help you.

[Tulsa]

If you make the changes in post #97, then go to your vbadvanced in the admincp under default settings and add "radiostations.php" to either the header or navbar replacements section, wherever you put your menu it will call the new page. It won't call the javascript popup page however.

[MotMann]

.... it will open the external quicktime player on the Mac instead of using the player in the script.
And thats the Problem. It ist wrong, that the QuickTime Player wil be open, if i listen the Radioscript.

great product, but, is there any way to force it to use windows media player 10? reason being, MS really blows and 50% of users out there still use an OS other than XP or Vista.

i see his class object is 6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6 which is for WP7+ so it should be. Is the player that shows dependent upon the stream?

[djilou]

For an easy integration because I don't like the popup version I added into the radiostations template $header $footer and $navar, only the navbar isn't showing but I can live with. Thanks for this hack Dream, it's a masterpiece of coding.
Btw. knows anybody a good site listing radio stations from all countries?

in radiostations.php find:

eval('$html_javascript = "' . fetch_template('RADIOSTATIONS_JAVASCRIPT') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('RADIOSTATIONS') . '");');

Replace with:
$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Radio';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('$html_javascript = "' . fetch_template('RADIOSTATIONS_JAVASCRIPT') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('RADIOSTATIONS') . '");');

I think it will use whatever WMP the user has on the machine, not sure if you can force a version. You could try using a different class object ID, then tell me how it goes.

[supermak]

Wolud be nice if add a RAM support for Real Player Stations :)

[Ryloth]

I think it will use whatever WMP the user has on the machine, not sure if you can force a version. You could try using a different class object ID, then tell me how it goes.

actually, i just figured it out. it is b/c MS sucks with FF integration. My stats are:
FF 2.0
Win2k3
WMP 10

FF tries to tell me I need a WMP 11 download. Well, can't do that b/c MS made WMP11 XP and Vista only.

So the remedy:

Download the following....


http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/N/npdsplay.dll/3.0.2.629/
http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/N/npwmsdrm.dll/9.00.00.3250/
http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/N/npdrmv2.dll/9.00.00.32508/

And place them in your <FF Install Path>\Plugins folder


restart FF, and boom, it works.

[yahoooh]

is there ability to use flash player instead of media player , there is some flash player on the net

[Dream]

You could edit the RADIOSTATIONS_PLAYER template for that.

[HotRodGyrl]

out of curiousity,

Will this slow down the upload of the forum or make it slower for slower uploaders?

I want to make sure it will not effect my users before I upload

[Dream]

Tricky question...

This won't make your forum slower. The bandwidth used is the radio streaming's server bandwidth.

If your users have a slower connection, say they are on a dial-up, and they are listening to radio and browsing your forum, it may slow down their navigation, yes.

[iogames]

Just to say, this mod kicks ass :D I listen to radio on my forum all the time.

I'm very proud of myself.

And you should be!
Still looking for someone to divide me the Player and a DropDown for the Stats...

[iogames]

Ok, this is what I meant cause I'm sure someday, somehow this great hack it will evolve on the next versions...

Could be a tabbed version or a dropdown menu, but divided on its 5 parts and with Ad/banner Capabilities...

[Fungsten]

I haven't read through all the posts but is there, or will there be, a setting for usergroups? There are only certain groups I want to use this. Thanks.

[Dream]

Everyone can listen to the radio stations. There are settings to let certain usergroups add new stations.

[Skavenger]

Dream, may I suggest that you in the next release make all the
radiostations templates expandable inside a template group called "radiostations templates". All other hacks with several templates put the templates together inside a group in the style template manager.

[Dream]

I'll see to that Henri.

I'm working on the next version to support Real Player, would you guys like that?

[agilent]

Dream, thanks for this hack.

Question, should we be able to see someone is listening to the radio when we click on Active Users. I just installed the hack so I haven't had a chance to see if other's are listening to it. If they are, can I see this anywhere?

[Dream]

You'll see the user is listening to radio, but not which one.

[Fungsten]

you can do that by editing radiostations.php file

take a look at here
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98009&highlight=custom+pages

see 'Limiting Access to the Script' part

Thanks I'll try it.

[henrikhansen]

I'm working on the next version to support Real Player, would you guys like that?

Yeahhh, Real Player support would be really nice

[Doctor Death]

This is a wickedly great mod....

I would suggest a configurable panel where the radio stations are not so far to the bottom.

Also, how about a Move Up and Move down button on favorites?

Anyone know the place to look for new radio stations?

[Dream]

The favorites are sorted by name.

In the third post of this thread there are links for directories of radio stations.

[Stifmeister2]

I'll see to that Henri.

I'm working on the next version to support Real Player, would you guys like that?
I would like that. ;)

[Stifmeister2]

Dream, may I suggest that you in the next release make all the
radiostations templates expandable inside a template group called "radiostations templates". All other hacks with several templates put the templates together inside a group in the style template manager.
Yes that would make it a bit "cleaner".

In the navbar, instead of

Guys don't forget to share your Radio Stations!

You can easily export stations in the Admin Control Panel, then attach the xml to this thread.

I would think you could just add the pathway to the radiostation.php to the advanced nav bar. I checked the thread and they seem pretty easy to edit.

(I have no idea if that is the actual name of the php file but you get the idea)

I am going to install this mod I believe. A good habit to be in is to read the entire thread before choosing a mod, which I have done.

Seems stable and well helped (didn't want to say supported)

Yes that could work, you would lose compatibility with Windows Media Player though, and would only be able to play Real Player streams.

Sorry I'm not familiar with that hack, though the link for the Radio Stations would be "javascript:openRadioStations()". That should be used when adding a link with that hack I assume.

This mod is pretty stable (I'm quite proud of it actually), but it's not supported. I may help people on my free time, but you shouldn't count on it.

[towermatt]

I know, it seems like you help a lot which is why I used that phrase :D

It seems very well done after all I have read, I think I will put it on today.

A user asked me for the version 1.1 vb 3.5 product file, so here it is:

[DeadLiner]

First, great work you've done with this mod. My mates are very happy with this addon.
Marked as MOTM and voted 5 stars.:D:up:

But I've also got a question. Because I'm from Germany I've translated it for my mates and would like to release the Translation to the Community, but I wanted to ask you first if you are against it?

And many thanks to Tulsa for helping, because his comments were very helpful to me.:up:

[Dream]

No problem, you can actually re-release it here

Translated to german if you want.

[trickfly]

It dosen't play on my forum. It says currently playing but Windows media player box does not appear, please help.

[trickfly]

I'm using 3.6.8

[BellyBelly]

Great mod, thanks, I have installed it and it's working fine but someone has this error trying to use it (she is another admin)

"Says I'm missing a plugin & even though I've just downloaded it I can't get anything. Will keep playing I guess...."

[Dream]

Is she on Windows or on a Mac? You need Windows Media Player on Windows, in this thread (not sure exactly where) there were some reports of bugs with some plugins on Windows you had to remove for it to work properly.

[noreturn]

Firefox needed Windows Media plug in for me. I installed in manually. IE worked fine.

[Dream]

Here the WMP plugin was already installed on Firefox. I think its a DLL any browser can access in the Windows system/ folder.

[Littlebit]

Oh cool! thanks for this :)
I hope I can get some talk stations going.

[Dream]

Updated to Version 1.2

- fixed bug with deleted stations reports showing (reports are now removed when the station is removed)
- added template group (added plugin "Radio Stations - Add Template Group")
- changed text input classes from smallfont to bginput, with style="font-size: 11px"
- added Real Player support
- added expand/collapse arrows to tables

Hope you like it (and no bugs are found)

[trickfly]

It dosen't play on my forum. It says currently playing but Windows media player box does not appear, please help. I'm using the previous version prior to this new real player update)

Works fine for me. Are you using Firefox or Internet Explorer?

[trickfly]

IE 7

and Opera 9

[Dream]

Doesn't work on both? Must be a plugin problem, sorry I'm not sure what may be happening.

Works here for me both with Firefox 2 and IE7.

[trickfly]

With the new version update, can users choose between WMP and RP or is it only RP (real player) ?

I think this mod is great but if it only it worked on my machine.

[trickfly]

Would you recommend me upgrading from the previous version to this one ?

[Dream]

Yes, the new version can play both WMP and RP streams.

[vnairp11]

only members can see it after adding that code to it.

[trickfly]

what code to it ?

[Dream]

I think he is replying to a message in another page, I didn't understand it either.

[wizardan]

Updated all files and didn't break anything:p

What exactly am I doing wrong for Real Player streams?
I can't get one to work.
Is there a simple step by step to explain how to add an RP feed?

[Dream]

Just choose "Real Player" on the player select when adding the stream.

Whats the stream URL? I can test it here.

[trickfly]

ok I'm going to add this one now!

Thanks Dream, hopefully you will be here when I add it incase anything goes wrong

Any chance of a thread people could attach upload files of stations as it's a bity of a PITA loading the urls, I'm sure people have loaded most world wide and it would be good to share !!

Or is the somewhere on the web we could extract files of the appropiate format ?

[Dream]

In the third post of this thread there are some links to stations directories you can use.

Other than that I agree peeps should share their stations, but it seems no one is really on the mood for that.

Here's a very nice top hits station:

I wanted to let you guys know that you can get a vBadvanded CMPS page by using the "integration" option provided with the product.

Works like a charm--still can't figure how to get those TV stations though--I go to the link and then...can't figure it out. More research!!

TV Stations work great for me....

Fill in tv station name... perhaps create a category of Television

Paste the link for any of the following stations on this website that have a green button next to them under the stream column: http://wwitv.com/portal.htm

edit2: I'm changing the name of this mod to "Radio and TV Stations Add-on" on the next version. Should be easy enough, it's just a couple of phrases that need to be changed. I'll also add a link to open the player in a bigger window to watch TV stations.

Try using those with blue buttons with Real Player, choose it on the drop down select when adding a station (or editing).

[towermatt]

Wonderful!! Thanks you guys.

i dont know why not anyone here ask this :

how to playing tons of stations in http://www.shoutcast.com with this hack???

shoutcast is using pls, any trick on this??? lets share it to make this more perfect

[Dream]

.pls are Winamp files, and Winamp doesn't have a browser plugin.

[Chadi]

How do I mass delete all default radio stations? I should have uploaded the default as the install says to do :(

[Dream]

You can delete all categories with "delete stations?" checked. Other than that you have to delete the stations one by one.

edit: you can also run a query to empty the "radiostation" table, not sure what that query would be, "truncate" something I think

[basketmen]

Hi Dream

i've success insert from shoutcast.com list to my radio stations hack


go to shoutcast.com

Click tune in yellow button the radio station you choose

it will playing in your winamp player

in your winamp playlist right click to the radio station you choose, and choose Playlist entries,
copy paste link there to your Streaming URL radio stations hack
for example http://scfire-dll-aa01.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1014




let me know if you can make this method better or another info :handshake:

[vnairp11]

I love this mod!, for the next version can you customize it to users needs, share fav with other users display user avatars in user favorites. settings for group permissions. relocation of the player and add radio station boxes. user status on what everyone is listening to, Default auto load for users favorites, user commenting etc. Integration with MGC chatbox would be a good option too.

[Dream]

Sorry, no plans to make most of those.

You can relocate the player and add station tables easily editing the template RADIOSTATIONS.

Settings for usergroup permissions are already available in the Radio Stations options.

"customize it to users needs" not sure what you mean by that.

To share stations with other users, you can send the "permalink" link to anyone you like.

User commenting was thought of, but it would just bloat the mod with useless comments on most boards.

User status on what everyone is listening to is interesting, but would need some research as I'm not sure how it could be acomplished.

Display user avatar in user favorites is a little useless in my opinion...

What could be interesting is to see any user's list of favorites, with something like radiostations.php?do=showfavorites&userid=123

Integration with MGC shoutbox, I don't see what kind of integration could be accomplished. Either way that could be a separate mod as not everyone uses both. Also, you can link stations in the chatbox using the permalink anytime.

Default station per user was thought of, but wasn't implemented because of layout problems (wouldn't know where to put a button "make this station default" in the favorites list).

[Dream]

its strange if you cant insert it, maybe you choose broken station

this is two station for example that i get from shoutcast with methode above, i choose with default player, not real player

kaskusradio http://202.74.73.98:8000 http://www.kaskusradio.com/

Heart Beat Station http://85.214.37.145:8000 http://heartbeatstation.info/

i am now still working how to embed this hack in myspace and other website

i can place the hack by using <iframe> </iframe> code , but myspace and some others site cant use iframe, so i working how to place with <embed> </embed> code


this is code to embed our video if we know the video url

<embed name='MediaPlayer' src='YOUR MEDIA URL HERE'
type='application/x-mplayer2' width='300' height='240' ShowControls='1'
ShowStatusBar='0' autostart="1" loop="1" EnableContextMenu='0' DisplaySize='0'
pluginspage='http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/Products/MediaPlayer/'>
</embed>



can you give clue what i need to place YOUR MEDIA URL HERE or some other info

[Dream]

You place the streaming URL there...

I don't use Myspace, so I don't know if you can add this hack there.

[basketmen]

ok this tutorial how to embed this radio hack in myspace and other website


open your RADIOSTATIONS_PLAYER template

in the bottom add this


<br><br>
<span class="smallfont">insert this radio to your myspace or your website <BR>
Copy paste this code </span><br>
<textarea name="link" cols="40" onClick="select()"><embed name='MediaPlayer' src='$html_url'
type='application/x-mplayer2' width='300' height='250' ShowControls='1'
ShowStatusBar='0' autostart="1" loop="1" EnableContextMenu='0' DisplaySize='0'
pluginspage='http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/Products/MediaPlayer/'>
</embed><br><strong>$html_station_name</strong><br />
Get this radio or tv online here: <A HREF="http://www.yoururl.com" target="_blank">your website </A>
</textarea>


if you have any suggest to make this more perfect let us know :handshake:

i just still dont understand the station name is never viewed in above code, i think this code is right to viewing station name <strong>$html_station_name</strong>

[wickedstangs]

Very Nice marked as installed and MOTM.. Thank You

You could try the following:


Open RADIOSTATIONS template and at the very top add:


<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6,2,5,7)">



At the very bottom (below </html>) add:


<else />
Whatever content you want here. You can add vB's Standard error message or a login box or whatever.
</if>



In the example the following Usergroups with permission include: Admin, Super Mods, Mods and registered users. Any other Usergroups that were not specified in the conditional will see the custom content. Hope this helps.

Anyway, excellent mod, Dream. :up:

[COBRAws]

is there ability to use flash player instead of media player , there is some flash player on the net
I second this. Is there any future plans for this? I really hate WMP and flash is kind of more supported than WMP (as for OS, Browsers and such).

I could also give a list of great flash players if its needed.

Thanks!

[legionofangels]

Firefox needed Windows Media plug in for me. I installed in manually. IE worked fine.

I'm curious as to why the visualization isn't appearing in other browsers. Namely the widely popular FF.

I have looked here:

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=206213

At first assuming that my own browser needs the plug in for WMP. Which is debateable but unlikely since there test links worked for me.

Then looked at there plug ins page:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7

Which doesn't list one, but instead the program. Which at this point I'm thinking its the coding or scripting of the actual Mod.

---------------------------------------

In short I'd like to offer my members the same things that other members have, and it doesn't really make sense as to why the visualization of the player works on IE 7 but not on FF.

Is there a bug in the Mod, or is this an issue of browser plug in or browser settings?

I have Winamp, Windows MP 11, and Real Player on my system.

[Dream]

This mod works in FF 2 for me.

[legionofangels]

This mod works in FF 2 for me.

Working and showing visualisation are two different things. It seems the only browser its designed for is IE.

I checked again after an uninstall and reinstall of FF 2.0.0.6 and it didn't show visualization.

Also the coder of my site lives in a dif time zone and he uses the same FF version and it didn't show visuals for him either.

-----------------------------

What's odd is that when you open it, it will open the visual box, but the moment it loads the song or radio, it auto-closes it and shrinks it to a mini-bar with no visualization.

If it works for you, what is the plug in or script change to make it show visual in FF?

[Dream]

Oh, I think visualization wasn't implemented on the WMP plugin for the rest of the browsers that aren't IE.

[legionofangels]

Oh, I think visualization wasn't implemented on the WMP plugin for the rest of the browsers that aren't IE.

IYO, is this something we can modify in the script of the mod.

Is this something in the WMP plugin that none of us can modify?

[Dream]

Visualization option is set to "true" on the mod (you can check out RADIOSTATIONS_PLAYER template). I played some with this and couldn't make it work with FF, and decided this was a problem with the WMP plugin itself.

[Freesteyelz]

Ahh. :)

[Dream]

I second this. Is there any future plans for this? I really hate WMP and flash is kind of more supported than WMP (as for OS, Browsers and such).

There are no plans to remove WMP, but you can change the RADIOSTATIONS_PLAYER template to use a flash player instead.

Solved!

Ok for those of you who use Firefox 2.0.0.6 or anything under that, and have been unable to see the visualizations off of this mod, I am here to tell you how. Whether you do it or not, I don't care.

Dream is incorrect that it has to do with the WMP plug in, but it could be that on other browsers, or perhaps FF dependant upon any existing add-ons or plug ins you have. Not discrediting Dream just stating fact here, and on both of my pc's it was the same issue, not the WMP plug in but actually Active X.

First of all I highly recommend reading this thread and choosing your method of troubleshooting this:

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=206213

I started off with the approach of "WMP Plug in", did not work, did not help anything.

Firefox Plug In for Media Wrap was in about my 2nd or 3rd hour of search and that improved it, but still did not show the visual. It improved it I guess in a sense that it added another advertisement line in the WMP display on this Radio Add On.

I told my coder and he said did you look at the Active X option. I was like, "no". Went to a test page and that was exactly it. It wasn't showing embedded WMP audio or video. What's odd is that the thing would always play the audio and in some cases it still should as the browser can pick up that information easy. But it wasn't picking up video.

Another damn hour later and I finally found the plug in. However it claims not to use it on other browsers, as it might only work on 1.5, the latest version I found which is a test version. However it also states in that long post on Mozilla Line that this plug in ONLY unlocks Active X to play audio/video for WMP. It will let nothing else in.

So I gave it a shot thinking, it probably won't work but what the heck I want to see visuals and use FF! So I dl'd it, and it completely works perfectly. No security issues so far at all either.

Here is the link to the webpage that has the plug in on it, but there are so many links you might not find it easily:

http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm

If you can't find it, see attached image or follow attached link for image whichever this post allows, because I cannot direct link it as it's a javascripty

DL that, then close firefox and re-open it. It will work after that.

Thus concludes our tutorial.

Cool, thanks for the info.

However I suspect this makes use of <object> instead of <embed>, thus using a different plugin, the one that has visualization, that backs my initial assessment.

Oh and please click "Mark as Installed" if you want to receive updates of this mod.

While I won't correct you, I'd guess you're referring to your own code. If that is the case, I have no idea. If you're referring to the mozilla plug in, I still have no idea as I've had no time to examine it closely. You would know more than me. But it is not the WMP plug in, I did all of those options first in that Mozilla line thread, and it would not work in FF.

I did as you stated, and I need to do that for the 3 other mods our website has dl'd.

Thanks Dream for a great hack, and I'm glad it can work for as many browsers as possible.

Another question while were on the subject.

Where is the ID number of the Radio Stations?

You ask in the Admin CP of the Add-On to state a station ID number to auto-start, if you leave blank it will be random. Where do we get the ID numbers?

[Dream]

If you mouse over a station name link, in the status bar you'll see the station ID. Something like openStation(XX).

[legionofangels]

I think the next modification down the road should allow users to select there own favorite station to auto start up upon loading the Radio Stations Add On.

-------------------------

Secondly taking me back to a noob here, I cannot seem to figure out how to add certain Internet Radio Stations that don't obviously show the .xml file or what not, for example take a look at this website:

http://www.pandora.com/backstage

Now they have internet radio stations but i cannot seem to find the proper files to add the channels. I think a tut for "where to look for stations" would be great. I could even make it in a post here with PS, but I need to know myself, lol.

[Dream]

You need to check the HTML code of the page you want to get the streaming URL from. You need some understanding of coding to do this. It's usually inside <object> and/or <embed> tags.

There are "where to look for stations" links in the third post of this thread.

Setting favorites as default stations was planned, but wasn't implemented because I couldn't decide where to place buttons for it.

[LCN2007]

Is this the best way i can intergrate the Radio stations link in to CMPS?

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="/forum/radiostations.php" target="blank">LCN Radio</a></td>

[Dream]

Not sure as I don't use vBa. Maybe someone else can help you.

[towermatt]

I basically "wrapped" the radiostations.php with the CMPS.

Its an integration function that comes with the vBadvanced.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="/forum/radiostations.php" target="blank">LCN Radio</a></td>

Change the javascript that you add in the navbar to:

<!--
function openRadioStations(){
radioStationsWindow = window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/radiostations.php', 'radiostations', 'directories=no,height=500,width=700,location=no,m enubar=no,resizable=yes,status=no,scrollbars=yes,t oolbar=no');
}
//-->
</script>and leave the link as:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="javascript:openRadioStations()">$vbphrase[rs_radiostations]</a></td>

that is how the hack should be written anyway, IMO - more compliant vb coding that way

[Dream]

Is there any gain by doing it like that?

[Dream]

If you guys want a flash media player incorporated in this mod give me a link to the best one, and preferably some stuff to read about them so I can chew on. If it's good enough I might consider adding it to the list of optional players.

Like, what formats do they play, if they play streams, the embed code etc.

I'll be working on a new version this weekend.

[yoyoyoyo]

Is there any gain by doing it like that?that makes the hack more vb-friendly, so other hacks and add-ons like vbadvanced work smoothly. If the navbar link is written as you suggest then when viewed on the vbadvanced index page the link does not work, unless you make the changes I suggested.

[El Burro]

Hi Dream your script works fine on my CMPS index page.

Thanks for the time you take on developing these products.
Also an even bigger thanks for your patience in answering these posts ;-)

[Dream]

You are welcome :) glad it works for you.

[AlShammari]

Yes that could work, you would lose compatibility with Windows Media Player though, and would only be able to play Real Player streams.

Dream it could not work with me
:(

i can't play real player files

please help me

The JW FLV Player (built with Adobe's Flash) can be used standalone, without the need for the Flash authoring tool. The player allows you to show your videos more controlled and to a broader audience than with Quicktime, Windows Media or Real Media. It supports playback of a single Flash video file, RTMP streams or RSS, XSPF and ATOM playlists (with advertisement possibilities), a wide range of flashvars (settings) for tweaking both behavior and appearance and an extensive, documented javascript/actionscript API. The example above shows a feed with clips recently added to Blip.tv.

please help memake sure you have the RealPlayer installed on your computer. You can also use "Real Alternative" which is not as bulky or as pesky as the RealPlayer:

[legionofangels]

Still need a tutorial on how to find the stream files to add to the radio add-on. Anyone have any detailed information on finding the correct file type?

Secondly, what are the names of all the extension types the unit will accept?

[Dream]

That won't work for forums that use more than one domain pointing to them.

What is the stream URL you are using?

You need HTML knowledge to get the stream URLs from webpages.

I'm not sure of all the extensions WMP and RP accept, as there are many. You could google for it.

[yoyoyoyo]

That won't work for forums that use more than one domain pointing to them.well, I wouldn't know about that - but can't see why - if that is the case then vbadvanced wouldn't work at all for those cases, because that is default vbadvanced coding.

[Dream]

Because when you are browsing from one domain the link would send you to a different domain, the one in the vb options. This happens to me when using photoplog, don't know about vba.

[user_not_found]

works fine Thanks a lot

Next version is looking good so far, this is what has been done:

- made hardcoded option "Statistics Entries" into option in acp
- user name markups now consider displaygroupid
- station list breadcrumbs now shows "Category: All" instead "All Categories"
- mod name changed to "Radio and TV Add-on" (changed a bunch of phrases, changed radiostations.php to radioandtv.php, edited plugins, changed navbar code, edited javascript code, won't change phrases names though nor product ID nor table names, it's a little frankenstein but it's ok)
- made hardcoded option "Stations Per Page" into option in acp

[Dream]

Updated to Version 1.3

- made hardcoded option "Statistics Entries" into option in acp
- user name markups now consider displaygroupid
- station list breadcrumbs now shows "Category: All" instead "All Categories"
- mod name changed to "Radio and TV Add-on" (changed a bunch of phrases, changed radiostations.php to radioandtv.php, edited plugins, changed navbar code, edited javascript code, won't change phrases names though nor product ID nor table names, it's a little frankenstein but it's ok)
- made hardcoded option "Stations Per Page" into option in acp
- changed look of "currently playing" station info and options
- created a popup window to view TV stations in bigger player windows

If you don't like the new look of the station info and options check the folder "version 1.2 templates".

edit: oh and please say something

Getting better and better!
