Inline Concepta Mp3 Player - XEON Series 4

[syrus.xl]

NO LONGER SUPPORTED!!!
Inline Concepta Mp3 Player for vBulletin 4.0
http://www.digitalport.co.uk/mp3/concepta_mp3_splash.jpg

DEMO: http://www.digitalport.co.uk/f144/inline-concepta-widely-used-music-player-file-format-player-xeon-series-4-a-75371.html#post198409



A demonstration of the "Inline Concepta Xeon Series 4 Mp3 Player" - allowing you to add Mp3's to any post! It is light-weight, and designed to color match the default vBulletin 4.0 style. Easy installation requiring no template edits or product imports.

We have designed the player to pull the file name and display it within the player, along with it's own equalizer. Simple one button operation. The player itself is light-weight, and uses only vector based graphics, and no bitmaps.

This player does not use the same engine coding previously used with the XEON series mp3 players for vBulletin 3.x. We have completely rebuilt the engine coding and improved it beyond anything released so far. The new "Concepta" range of products are designed from scratch and to compliment vBulletin 4.x series, using new coding, allowing us to increase what we can achieve.

Important
This modification is not backwards compatible, it uses vb:raw tags which are only supported in vBulletin 4.x. We will release a vBulletin 3 version if we receive enough requests.

Installation
Upload all the contents within the Upload folder to your vBulletin forum root.

Adding the Custom BB Code
Login to your AdminCP -> Custom BB Codes -> Add New BB Code

i'm going to use it on http://codnation.net and http://toxicsuburbia.com if you want a demo go there guys. I'll edit this post with a link soon. Thanks syrus, this is awesome!

[syrus.xl]

I forgot the demonstration link... oops! Added now..

[molieman]

I like it, but it does not have a position bar. Example, listening to a Podcast and you stop and want to go back where you left off another day. This mod is "go" "pause" or "start over" no in between.

Hope I made sense :rolleyes:

I did not add the 'scrubber' function only because people on vbulletin.com wanted a simple mp3 player for vBulletin 4.0. I will add one in a future update, if there is enough interest. :)

You got my vote :) :) :)

Just put this in to check it out & my test thread is blank.

We see the button and also the placeholder in IE but I got nothing else.

And I vote for a scrubber bar also.

I want to use this for podcasts and without a scrubber listening to an hour long podcast leaves no room for glitches.

Hmmm... thats strange the vb raw tags are not being parsed correctly. A simple fix is to remove the following code in both instances:

{vb:raw url}

Replace it with the full forum url, in your case it will be the following.

I'll check why this is happening, and apply a fix.

Ba da bing! That did it.

I figured it would be that but I didn't want to make assumptions and figured you'd want to know some people may have this issue.

Interesting. That's a handy tip, too!

[BrOkEn.HaLo]

Alittle off topic, but is there a chance you'll be releasing something similar to the original Xeon player. My users loved the pop-out window, so they could surf the forums while still listening to music, and they loved the large playlist that was available of 500 tracks.

I'd love to see something for 4.0 in that fashion.

That was one product that was very popular and will be ported over to vBulletin 4.0, once we have a more stable release. Since we have updated all our engine coding you can expect the final new release to be much better than the original. It will be available in 3 variations, popup, widget and on its own page.

[nekiw]

Do I need to have a url to a mp3, or can I simplu upload a mp3 in the post and let it stream that one?

[Edrondol]

You need the URL.

[syrus.xl]

Okay, since I have had quite a few PM's to enhance this mod further. I will be coding another player, same style but much more versatile.

Someone suggested adding a playlist, even though this is possible it would not work within BB Code, therefore a further popup player will be designed. With a similar glass look, and t will have it's own admincp, with unlimited playlists, external or internal track selection, cover artwork and much more.

Play list from our own server would be fantastic, since we do Podcasts. Such as "10 Latest Podcasts" :) :) :)

Nice work and look forward to the enhanced mod :) :) :)

[nekiw]

since you are developing a new mp3 player I have a few requests you can consider.
when makin a thread instead of using bbcode and regular attachment, it says upload track(s).
then I can upload either 1 or more tracks, and choose if I want the users to be able to download it or just stream it.
in admin panel I can view how many times it has been played and downloaded etc.
This is a mod I would gladly spend money on.

[Edrondol]

And be able to block it from being downloaded so we don't run afoul of the RIAA.

AND (because we are being all up in your face now) the ability for people to make and post their own playlists.

Yeah! That's the ticket! And I'd be willing to pay also.

[Jabong82]

Does it have the ability to automatically start the player when someone creates a post?

Say I created a new thread and wanted the music to automatically start when someone views the thread, is this possible? Or will users always have to click the play button if they want to hear it? Thanks in advance.

[Boko577]

Scrubber!

[SuperTaz]

Won't work for me. I replaced the two raw URL's with my site URL and still nothing.

Says this in the player title bar, without the quotes: "music<font face="

You mean autoPlay on page load, this can be done but not with this version, I would need to upload an updated version to actually do that. Not many people want mp3's playing as soon as a page loads. But it could be an option and passed to the flash mp3 player.

This means you have placed either additional bb code within the mp3 tags, or your direct mp3 url is incorrect.

[Edrondol]

Okay, I now have this one uninstalled but tagged for when the additions get made (playlists, etc.) I found this one (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=235934) and it allows already for picking where in the MP3 you want to listen.

But that one doesn't stream so it's a bit slower, it doesn't show the name of the MP3 before you play it and it is very, very basic.

I can't wait for this to have a Pro version and will be switching back then.

[SuperTaz]

works now. Thanks.

Hi,

I should have the player update within a few days, maybe sooner. I have coded in the 'scrubber' as requested by many. It also has Pan, Volume, track length and a few extra buttons. Obviously, to get all this to fit in I had to make the player slightly bigger.

[COL NIL SATIS]

looks great this does..tagged for future use..thanks for making this mod mate

This is where Flash fails... it only supports mp3 data reading. I have had it running with SHOUTcast streams, but that was not using the same coding I am using now. I tried using various SHOUTcast streams and variables with this version, but because this version is more versatile in other ways, it fails on SHOUTcast.

Guess we cannot have it all ways.

There are ways to switch players using PHP, if a certain file is recognized and then use the appropriate player, but this cannot be done with this simple BB Code modification.

[junaid]

Is it detect automatically attached mp3 file?

[syrus.xl]

It is designed with automatic priority switching. Basically, it will read the mp3 file specified in the mp3 tags, if the mp3 contains ID3 tag meta data, then this will be displayed, however if this meta data is missing the player will then pull the file name data and display this instead.

[ShawnV]

Hey Syrus,

You may want to check your ActionScript when you do your update, CS4 - FP10 updated is kicking out an error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at com.flashloaded.media.player::MediaPlayer/doPlay()
at concepta_mp3_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

Anyways, thought you should know..

Where did that error appear? It looks like an error that is generated when the FlashVars are missing. It will generate errors if no variables are from within an HTML page, because then it would receive the null.

[ShawnV]

Its on your demo page.

[syrus.xl]

I'll add some extra AS to stop that happening. Just some default variables that need setting, before importing the flashvars.

[Xeyn]

cant wait for this new player..sounds cool

[chuckrobbie]

Well this version is not working on my 4.0.2 pub suite!!
I installed it exactly as you said :(

Looking forward to the new player! Hopefully that will work!

[milaszewski]

please make it detect attached mp3 files
automatic mp3 attachment player is very much needed

thanks installed

i have 2 questions plz

1- how to get bar like what is present in the button of your demo site?

2- your site is great how to make header like that

thanks again

nice,

its displayed in thread but not playing ??

[crazyace]

This is really awesome thank you so much. Now if I could just find a way to let users upload music and then link to the songs they uploaded.

[Edrondol]

Any word on this with a scrubber? Or a pro version?

Waiting for new version with scrubber and volume control. Otherwise it looks fantastic.

[molieman]

Well, I couldn't help myself and had to give it a try. I replaced my current player with XEON. Looks fantastic on the article page. I put the player at the very top. Here is what makes it strange and where I need help.

I promote the article on the home page, so the first paragraph is displayed with XEON and a graphic and some text.

XEON goes left center of the promo, moves the 100 X 100 graphic to the right, oh, and XEON goes to about half size.

What am I doing wrong????

Pic one is the article and pic two is on the home page, same article.

Once I updated to the newest version of Vbulletin this has stopped working.

Thanks!

To answer your questions...

1. Go to www.wibiya.com :)

2. The header with banner rotator is custom designed for the site. However, I will be releasing one very similar to it, very shortly.;)

[syrus.xl]

Inline Concepta V2 Mp3 Player will be released later today. We have the demonstration online - http://www.digitalport.co.uk/f144/inf-concepta-v2-inline-mp3-player-75410.html#post198471

I run a Electronic Dance Music site where I host mixes for DJs.
I would love to be able to bridge this and the DownloadsII mod, so that when a user posts his mix via the Downloads mod it would automatically post up this player linked to the new upload in with the listing.

However I'm not a plugin designer :( Tho, guess I could work on trying to figure it out, but if anyone does before hand, please let me know :)

Also, could this player be used as an object linkable/usable on another site? Like the way the soundcloud player works embedding it on other sites. (www.soundcloud.com)

Hi TeknoSounds,

The player design on this modification would not allow embedding like standard players, and it would not work with the DownloadsII mod. The reason for this is the way it actually pulls in the mp3, which is done via flashvars only parameter. It doesn't take much though to change it to work another way and allow embedding. I designed both players with similar coding, but neither would be suitable for the purpose you require. I will look at the current coding and see how easy it would be to pass the mp3 through the embed parameter and not via flashvars, using AS3.0.

Hi TeknoSounds,

I made a few alterations to the actual embed code with the Inline Concepta V2 Mp3 Player (I have not released it yet on here). It now allows embedding on other websites, with a few more tweaks it will work with DownloadsII. :)

Yes, Concepta V2 Mp3 Player is available on my website. It will be available on here from later today.

I have to make changes in the actual posting code, before releasing it on here - because the coding is slightly different in the post, not the modification.

Hi there Syrus, first off great mod thanks so much - however, I am having problems with the inline mp3 player - whilst the player displays and detects the mp3 file (shows file name) it does not seem to play when play is hit, and the timer remains at "00:00" I followed all your steps (except for leaving BBcode within this BBcode on as that gave me problems with the auto [url] tag)

[syrus.xl]

Hi Adam,

Can you PM me any url where it is being used? I will take a look at the generated source code, it very rarely fails to work since is a very basic modification.

I think other users would greatly appreciate having a couple basic styles/themes to choose from. That's a fantastic idea :)

I'll get with you on the code for the player, I'm sure it could be much more simplified than what I used.

[syrus.xl]

Well, the player coding I have updated now. 'Streamlined' it a bit, to cut down on code used. The actual tracks are now pushed in to the player swf file, makes it easier for adding to other modifications.

I will put together a Black Gloss version with blue lights, give it a Web 2.0 look. :)

Just curious where you stand on the update for this mod? I know you said you were working on a darker style earlier.
