[ Audio / Visual ] - VB Mega Jukebox - Now with permissions to save bandwith

[trafix]

I want to thank everyone who has supported the original release of this hack and for all the suggestions to make this hack even better :)
I have spent days on adding all these new features and would like to thank the people who have assisted me to get some of these function to work.

Its back after a long time :)

This hack will add a whole new dimention to your forums with a Jukebox

3 file edit
1 template edit
1 new db table
1 db table alteration

This hack uses and includes a copy of the [HIS] Hack Installer System (Build 3)
released by Link14716 and can be found here --> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71542
My thanks to Link for his one on one time in building the install files for the VB Jukebox :)

General Features

* The ability to play audio and movie formats - The script will detect both .mpg or .mpeg files and open the media player. If an audio format is played then the media player will stay invisable.

Admin Features

* Upload songs from your browser.
* Unlimited genres.
* Manual data entery for when the uploader fails or for large files.
* At a click will automaticly generate a new thread announcing a song in the jukebox.

* Usergroup permissions for:
--> 1) Who can listen to songs.
--> 2) Who can upload songs.
--> 3) Who can rate songs.

Front End Features

*Members can upload songs, these songs are not available in the jukebox until admin aproval (optional email notification available).
* Callapsable genres (only displays genres that have active songs in them).
* Members can rate songs.

Future Possible Functions

* members favs, this will allow members to add songs to their own favs list and if i can work it out i will try to make it so they can play their favs from start to finish.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOTE SONG HOSTING

OPTION 1

In the admin options where it asks for the folder name enter the full path to the where the songs are stored eg "www.something.com/music folder" NO backslash after.
The Downside to this is that your members canrt upload or add songs to the jukebox and movie files will not work.

OPTION 2
In vb_jukebox.php find each instance of


$playsong = "$vboptions[jb_media_folder]/$playthisong


replace with

$playsong = "$playthisong"


Then enter the full url into the song file field for each song.

A Tutorial for manual install can be found here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=76050 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=76050)

Please Click install :)

your screen shots are so small dude...

btw, welcome back trafix :)

[HiDeo]

Nice job but the screens are too little :s

Nice job but the screens are too little :s
Yeah, thanks for this one. I have a forum coming up that I might use it on.

[Lionel]

A-Z navigation or categories would be nice. If you have too many songs, page could be long.

[WiseOwl]

Nice hack, installed perfectly, one thing though...

how do I cut it on? "The jukebox is currently turned off! "

[yinyang]

is there an easy way to make it so only certain usergroups are allowed access?

[trafix]

Nice hack, installed perfectly, one thing though...

these settings are located in the vb options list in the admin area

[trafix]

is there an easy way to make it so only certain usergroups are allowed access?
currently you can set for:
freeplay for everybody
freeplay for members only
paid plays using credits (vb trader credits)

im sure someone will code an intergration hack so members can pay using uShop money


these settings can also be found in the vb options

[WiseOwl]

Thank you, knew it was somewhere, just couldn't find it, workin fine.. I had just installed about 8 modifications, jukebox was the last to be installed.

No conflicts except with "who was online in last 24 hour" modification.. I don't know if this was a conflict with jukebox and that mod or not, but after installing jukebox it is not showing the members usernames that have visited

Also there is TABLE tag that has not been closed.. view http://digitalmental.com/bb/vb_jukebox.php for refrence, bottom of the page..

Other than those minor things A+

Thanks Again,

Little bug in edits of admincp.php:

Original (readme.txt):

***********
Insert Before
***********

if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))
{
$printhr = true;
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['jb_track_list'], 'vb_jukebox_admin.php', '<br />');
construct_nav_group("$vbphrase[jb_vbjukebox]", '<hr />
}


That has to be:

***********
Insert Before
***********
if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))
{
$printhr = true;
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['jb_track_list'], 'vb_jukebox_admin.php', '<br />');
construct_nav_group("$vbphrase[jb_vbjukebox]", '<hr />');
}


You forgot a ');.

Nice hack, thanks!

[reteep]

But one more question:

The midi directory doesn't have any special function yet, right? It's just for uploading songs and pointing the URL to that folder(no code specific use of that folder yet?)

[trafix]

But one more question:

The midi directory doesn't have any special function yet, right? It's just for uploading songs and pointing the URL to that folder(no code specific use of that folder yet?)
yep thats right ... make a folder in your forum directory and ftp the songs into it from your pc, then when you add a song to the juke include the url to the folder, the relative path should work.

the next version will have an upload feature where you can use the web browser to upload the songs .... this will also be in the main jukebox area so members can upload songs ... the admin will have to approve the song before they appear in the jukebox list :) ....

you will notice at the moment that that have not been activated are listed in red ;)

For those who are interested, here's a german language file attached ;)

[agiacosa]

Sorry to bring this up, but what are the legalities of doing this?

[trafix]

Sorry to bring this up, but what are the legalities of doing this?
well .... there are no issues with using midi files in your jukebox

you can use other files at your own risk

[reteep]

Sorry to bring this up, but what are the legalities of doing this?

In Germany you may not play Songs which are licensed under the GEMA. If you act like a radio you'd have to pay for broadcasting those songs. It's kinda the same in most of the states. So are probably only able to add selfmade stuff there from friends or yourself which aren't licensed.

[NuclioN]

We want to use this with mp3 files. How to adjust code Trafix?

[reteep]

It works with mp3 files just like that.

[yinyang]

Sorry to bring this up, but what are the legalities of doing this?

i'm not an expert on copyright laws and protection, but i've been in the entertainment world here in wollyhood for over 10 years and this is what i think (only worth $.02).

trafix has coded a jukebox, not unlike a person's own personal walkman. how they get their music that goes into their walkman is outside the jurisdiction of the walkman.

therefore, as long as trafix doesn't offer/promote a way to trade copyrighted songs, i think the legalities are fine.

[Kliqster]

Thanks, installed successfully.

Just wondering, how compatible is this with streaming videos aswell? I run a wrestling forum and the idea of being able to stream matches via the jukebox is very appealing. Are there any specific file formats that will work so that the users can see video aswell?

Yep .... easy .... add your mpeg files and in the jb_JUKEBOX template find the media embedding tag and add a hight and width to it and thats all you need to do i think :)

let me know it that works

[jugo]

the next version will have an upload feature where you can use the web browser to upload the songs ....


Most MP3 Songs are more than 3 MB is size. how will you handle the PHP restrictions on upload sizes?

[trafix]

i have by-passed the size limiting .... hmmm ... something to ponder

[yoyoyoyo]

very nice! I am especially looking forward to this feature:
* The ability for members to upload songs to the site the songs wont be active on the jukebox until the admin activates them for security issues

[trafix]

I have to get some work done on the vb trader however i will get to these features soon :)

[Kyoko]

Great work
*applauds*

[trafix]

* trafix takes a bow

Great work
*applauds*

[ambrosious]

Ok, I'm completely stupid here, can someone tell me where to upload music files to?

I have tried three locations. Server/midi, then public_html/midi folder then public_html/vbulletin/midi and no songs ever show up? Is there something I missed?

[trafix]

ok ... usong you ftp ... make a new folder in the same area as your vb root area ... then upload your songs to it.

to add the songs to the jukebox click on "Add" and enter the name of the song in the first line and then the url of the song in the second

[kisersose]

Hmmm, tnx for the heads up on the table prefix ... i actually found a few that didnt have it


I thought I came back and posted what I did to fix this but I don't see that post any longer. I just had to go in and edit the table prefix's. Took a little while to figure out how to do it, and off the top of my head I can't remember what file it was I changed. This was 4 days ago and at about 3am. LOL


thanx for the hack though, my members love this feature.

great stuff :) ... thats what i like to hear

[ambrosious]

Ok, thanks for the tip. I'm not seeing the "add" button. Where do I find that? In the admin CP I get the settings you describe in the install file. "Audio Settings, Default Song Title, etc."

Am I doing something wrong?

[trafix]

if you edited the admin file properly you should see a menu block the looks like the others in the left hand side that says "vB Jukebox" if the phrases wernt installed properly it could be blank ..... but unlikley

when you expand the menu block click on where is says "Track list" .... the "Add" button is on that page .... see screen shots

[ambrosious]

I didn't add the admin CP file in, I don't guess, because that whole block is missing from the options on the left. I have to run to work now, will tackle this one as soon as I get home.

THANKS!

How did you get on?

[pelican]

currently it seems that the directory where the songs are stored is publicly accessible if you know the direct url. is it possible to put the songs files above the /public_html/ where it cannot be accessible by typing the usl into the browser but still accessible by vbulletin script ?

[trafix]

I am not sure if this can be done? Perhaps someone else can advise?

[JAYEMULE]

First off I hope this is the correct place to post this. If not please do forgive me.
I just installed the VBJukebox and and triple checked everything. I get one problem I don't understand. After I ran the install and it asked if I wanted to sign into my admincp I clisked yes and got this message
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/muleskin/public_html/Board/admincp/index.php on line 552
I guess I need to know what this mesage means and what to do to correct it ? I am going to be looking again while I wait for your response. Thanks kindly for the help. Looks like just what I have been wanting for a long time, never had the courage to add a hack :)
I am currently testing to add hacks on a closed, non public test board as I had read you are allowed to do. I figure this way if I mess up too bad the forum keeps on working ;) I don't have a large membership but even 300 + emails of " The forum is down !!" gets to be a handful of replies ;)
Thanks again.
Jaye

Well, just went to check the template and now I can't log into my admin cp at all. I just get the above message.

[trafix]

ok the fix is in post #13 :) ... i will amend the instructions in th zip

[JAYEMULE]

OK Thank you, I did get that fixed. But now here I am. I can see the JB in my admincp but I don't see it on my forum home page. Just where should it be showing up again ?
I am sorry to be so dim with this. I am learning.

Jaye

[trafix]

did you do the template edit? ... if so the link for your jukebox will appear in the quick links menu :)

Doing a fresh install on 3.0.5 and this is the error I am getting when I am at the step looking for the file modifications at /forums/install/hack_install.php?do=genreadme&hacks=Jukebox&build=1:

Double checked the template and I did all that correctly it seems. Still no evidence that I have installed in when I go to the board. I know I it has to be something simple I have missed along the way but just can't figure out what that could be. I have walked through it each step and all looks as it should. Until I go to the board. What do you suggest next ?

Jaye

Jaye
Oh one more thing, so now when I download this to install on my public forum will I still need to do the fix as in post # 13 or will the ffiles be fixed in the download.

not exactly working, in fact quite messed up. I installed it by going to the read me to find the template edits, and I put all of the settings in via the admin cp, and when I checked it out I did not see any songs in the "midi" folder listed, and it looked different than the screen shots (blank areas with no text). I figured it must have not installed all the way since it hung up at the template/file edits, but I wasn't too worried since those are usually the last steps. I went to uninstall it and try again, and that is when things got worse - I got this error:

These are the hacks you have selected to uninstall:

There is no record of Jukebox being installed. It cannot be uninstalled.

We're sorry you didn't like these hacks. Running this script will remove all settings and templates created.
so the install must never have finalized with the HIS. I ran the installer again to check if it was installed and got this:

again, not too worried because it is a duplicate name - that means it is there and all should be well....Not so. Attached is a screenshot of how my jukebox looks.

I want to completely uninstall this, so I can start over again, but the HIS does not think I have it installed. Is there a way to "trick" the uninstaller into removing the phrasegroups etc., so I can try to reinstall? If not, how can I remove it/fix it?

[trafix]

ok I just had the same problem when i installed the jukebox on my new dev forum do code the next version ..... (members can upload their own songs)

go to your phrasemanager and search for jb_jukebox and select edit ..... then save it without actually making any changes .... all the other phrases should also apper :)

that did it! thanks!

now.. how do I get more songs to appear in my jukebox? I added a few to the "midi" folder I created, but nothing.

************
New Folder:

Make a new folder in the root directory of your server "midi" to upload your jukebox songs to.
when you say "root directory of your server do you mean:

/home/site/public_html/forums/

or do you mean root meaning

/home/site/ ?

I put "midi" folders everywhere I could think of, but nothing shows up

any ideas?

[trafix]

ok put your folder

/home/site/public_html/forums/midi

so the url to the song will be www.xxx.com/forums/midi/song.mid

or using a relative path /midi/song.mid

[yoyoyoyo]

ok put your folder

/home/site/public_html/forums/midi

so the url to the song will be www.xxx.com/forums/midi/song.mid

or using a relative path /midi/song.mid
I did that, and it plays my default song just fine, however it doesn't see any of the other songs in that folder. How do I add more songs?

edit: I am an idiot. I didn't upload the admincp/index.php file edits!

Thanks for your patience and help!

No problem ;) glad you got it working

[trafix]

Update ....

Yep we are goung well :) ... now you can upload your songs direct from the admincp :)

Now im starting to work on the members upload area ;)

[trafix]

Update .....

Ok uploading of songs can now be done from the admin area. Members can also upload their songs straight to the jukebox folder ...... BUT requires admin to aprove it before the song shows up in the jukebox :)

i have a few loose ends to tie up however tomorrow i will start coding the genre categories, as like forum home the genre sections will be calapsable :)

Can't wait. You got my donations!

[aloha]

Suggestion... Maybe it can post reply's to the first post when it announces everyone a new song is on the site... Save some space and it would be a bit more tidy.

[The Realist]

Well done M8.

Looking forward to it.

I thought of that, however i feel that once the jukebox announces a song it would become a thread all to its self so ppl can discuss that song.

I am also working on song rating so that your members can rate a song in the same way as they rate a thread :)

This next version is going to be MEGA

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and encouragement!

[aloha]

I think if the song is worthy of them talking about it, they would post about it all on their own, or you can allow comments for songs and make that seperate from the forums.

Different categories would be nice.

Random play so that it just keeps playing on the same page...

Dupe Killer...

And if it automatically made the additions, lol that would own. hehe

I'm inspired. Thanks for the add-on.

yep genres (categories) will be in the next upgrade

i will look at the random play

And if it automatically made the additions, lol that would own. hehe ..... more info pls

[trafix]

We are getting closer to the next release ......

now i have coded
* upload songs from both admin and user end
* added unlimited genres
* members can rate songs in the jukebox
* usergroup permissions for
1) can listen to song.
2) can rate song.
3) can upload song.

The last thing i have to do is to code the new jukebox page to set out the playlist in categories of genre and make them calapsable.

[trafix]

just a thought ... i will code in a function that if you upload an .mpeg the script will automaticly detect it and open the viewer ..... otherwise if it is just an audio file it will stay closed :)

[JAYEMULE]

I really like this hack, thanks kindly for offering it. It was easy enough to install, love that hack installer ;)

I do seem to have one thing going wrong. It seems that now that I have installed on my public forum the entire forum moves slower than sa snails pace. Moving from page to page seems to take forever. Even working in the admin cp is slower than molases. Any ideas if VB Jukebox could have caused this ? Jukebox works fine, not a prblem with that. Unless it is the reason we have shifted into slow motion. Everything else in my domain site works as normal. And I am on cable connection so if it is slow enough to frustrate me I can only imagine what it feels like to members still on dial up. Poor babies ;)
Thanks for any ideas.
Oh and if I need to ask this in another place just direct me and I will .
Thanks Kindly,
Jaye

[ambrosious]

How did you get on?

It's working great! I plan on using the jukebox for audio stories recorded by our members and am feeling the anticipation!

Thanks for this!

[trafix]

@JAYEMULE umm, i cant see the tse jukebox would be an issue here .... i supose it could slow if all your members are trying to listed to media .... but i am not sure.

@ambrosious Thats good news :) ... expect the next version in a few days :)

[trafix]

Ok email notification can now be sent to the admin once a song is uploaded to the jukebox by a member .... i have made this function optional

[trafix]

Well you asked for it and here it is ...... the upgrade you have been on the edge of your seats for ;)

I hope the new screenies are better ;)

Give us n approx when we can expect the next version, caues I've jsut installed a fresh bo, n would rather install that new one than this then upgrade :)

Its there now :) ... uploaded it before

let me know how you go :)

oooooh, goodie.

The whole install seems to have gone on perfectly but I don't see any block on the left..

this is what I see in the forum windows..

is there supposed to be a line like that ?

[quachvu]

how to rate the song? i dont see the link to do that, by the way, music box cant display correctly, how can i fix it? http://www.vietphim.com/forum/vb_jukebox.php?

thanks!

i receive a email informing a new upload of file, but in Subject of email there is the following message : "Could not find phrase 'jb_emailadmin'."

[yoyoyoyo]

Well you asked for it and here it is ...... the upgrade you have been on the edge of your seats for ;)

can I click install again? :D
thanks much!

[yoyoyoyo]

can you add an option in the next version to not allow uploads, but only allow submission of a valid URL to the jukebox? I have none of the songs actually on my server - I just enter valid mp3 and midi links and it plays them just fine. I do not want to fill up the server with songs (or use my bandwidth doing so) so a URL only submit option would be excellent!! (and also may be even more "legal" than serving them yourself)

[Deviant++]

Me wants to get my jukey running :cry:

[The Realist]

Just upgraded to the new version and I can upload the songs ok but none show up in the jukebox on the forum?

Also the rate etc links dont work.

[spence2]

trafix, thanks for the hack!

Two questions that may seem dumb, but I don't mind that:

Does this hack use vB attachments in any way?

Are there players involved in playing either the music or the video? Like Real Player or Windows media?

Thanks. Just trying to understand the layout of this before installing.

the songs must be approved and posted by the admin, I am not sure if there is an option to "auto approve" but it seems to me that there is...

edit: there doesn't seem to be that option, but maybe trafix can add it to the wish list :D (the top of my wish list is the "submit URL only" feature I requested).

Boy we are sure keeping him busy ... thanks trafix for all of the hard work!

[lanc3lot]

A quick question, just before install...

How legit is this? I mean, can the user download the songs right? This is bad i think:(

Apart from that, excellent hack

[trafix]

Ok im awake after a sleep to answer your q's

@ Deviant

this is what I see in the forum windows..

No .... did you have the previous version installed? ... if yes clear your chache, i had the same problem when i upgraded a clients site.

@ quachvu

how to rate the song? i dont see the link to do that, by the way, music box cant display correctly, how can i fix it? http://www.vietphim.com/forum/vb_jukebox.php?

Click on the rating stars :)

i receive a email informing a new upload of file, but in Subject of email there is the following message : "Could not find phrase 'jb_emailadmin'."

please search for 'jb_emailadmin' in your phrase manager there should be 2 of them, 1 in the email body and the other in the email subject phrase groups

@ yoyoyoyo

can you add an option in the next version to not allow uploads, but only allow submission of a valid URL to the jukebox?

I do not want to fill up the server with songs (or use my bandwidth doing so) so a URL only submit option would be excellent!! (and also may be even more "legal" than serving them yourself)

yes the installer will run as an upgrade and will install fine, i tested that in a client site and all worked well, as for the url link ... i will look at it in the next version :)

@ The Realist

Just upgraded to the new version and I can upload the songs ok but none show up in the jukebox on the forum?

Also the rate etc links dont work.

Yes all songs uploaded from the user end by default are not active ... i added this cos i wanna know what ppl are lostening to ... in the admin track list you can preview a song by clicking on its title. .... there is NO auto aprove here cos i dont think its safe ;)

@ spence2

Two questions that may seem dumb, but I don't mind that:

Does this hack use vB attachments in any way?

Are there players involved in playing either the music or the video? Like Real Player or Windows media?

1) NO it dosnt use the attachment system at all, because we are using media files i dont think the sql database could handle it so all media is uploaded to a folder in your forums root folder

2) The jukebox uses embeded tag and by defult the windows media player is used to play the media ;)


@lanc3lot

A quick question, just before install...

How legit is this? I mean, can the user download the songs right? This is bad i think

Apart from that, excellent hack

Its up to your own descression here ;) .... all midi files are fine to use in your jukebox
Original material that has not been released is also fine as long as you get permission from the artist ... IE ... the next door neighbour who plays piano before you upload it;)

@ all

Ist great to see all these replies, dont forget to click install ;) ... i would love to see this one on next months HOTM ;)

How do you pre approve tunes in the new version?

They work by clicking the title in admin, but dont work via the forum.

Also

how can a user upload from there end?

in the admin song list ... click on "Edit" and there you can apporve a song :)

For users to upload songs you must set the usergroup permissions by going to the admin area ... expand the usergroup menu select the usergroup manager. From there edit each usergroup for what pernissions you want them to have.

Enjoy!

Apart from that, excellent hackSorry i miss read the second part of your post :(

If you dont want your members to upload songs ... set the permission accordingly, this will make it so that songs can only be uploaded in the admin area.

With that being said .... all songs uploaded by your members WILL NOT be added to the jukebox playlist until you activate it, you can listen to songs in the admin area just by clicking on the songs title ;)

[givemeplain]

Hey,
I love this mod! It looks like it is very good! I got it installed and everything, but when I FTP a song to my music folder and then try to add it through the admin cp it says "This song file already exists". How else can I FTP the song and then add it to the playlist?

Thanks.

if you decide to upload the song with your FTP client then you have to manually enter the data into the db ... at the top of the "Add" page in the admin area there is a link that says "Change to manual data entry"

and enter as normal

[givemeplain]

Wow, I'm really stupid for not noticing that!
Thanks a bunch for this mod, my members will love it =).

[trafix]

:) ... great to here ... dont forget to click "Install"

[givemeplain]

Does this work in firefox? It's not playing for some of my members Actually, it's not working in internet explorer either. It says the song is playing, but no sound comes out

[trafix]

have you set the "Media Folder" on your vb options? ... you only need to enter the name of your folder without any backslashes :) ... and the folder MUST be in the forum root folder

[givemeplain]

Yup, I set the folder as "music" (which is in root dir) and added the song Hikari.mp3 to it. In the add song in admincp i set song filename as Hikari.mp3 . Doesn't play though =(

http://www.shiburaonline.com/vb_jukebox.php

*you dont have to register*


Edit: I'm stupid, all right it works, just has to completely load to work?

[trafix]

interesting .... i put the full url into the address line http://www.shiburaonline.com/music/Hikari.mp3 ... in theory the song should play

did you upload in binary?

the other thing is it looks like the jb_jukebox_bit isnt right ... please change it to

Any idea still why the music doesn't play until after around 15 minutes of it being clicked? I have dsl so I know it shouldn't take that long.

[trafix]

Thanks for you persistance :)

Yep ... the time delay is because of it being an mp3 ... they are larger files and the media player uses a buffer so it has to download a % of the song before it will statr playing

[givemeplain]

Hehe, cool thanks for explaining it =).
Does it support all audio types? like m4a or just mp3 and midi?

Hey,
For future versions I have some suggestions

- See a status bar of buffer; how far you are in song (very simple looking)
- Users can comment on songs
- When posting "new songs in jukebox" the title of thread is based on the song that is being posted, Also can specify what you want to be written on post (like when you press post button in admin cp, there is a text box you can type in").

Also, is the visual part of this mod active? Or is it just a jukebox.. cause then maybe you could add the ability to upload music videos and things =).

yep you can already upload movie files in either .mpg or .mpeg

The script will detect this and automaticly open the madia player so thethe user can see the movie ;)

As for the other suggestions i can look at them as well

can you PM me the ulr to your jukebox so i can have a look
i think ineed to have a look if possible

[trafix]

I still haven't gotten v2 installed. I am still hanging up at the install, and this is the error I get when attempting to access it via the URL:



but I agree that it is an awesome hack. v1 was working fine, and I am sure v2 will be soon, also.
How did you go with the upgrade yoyoyoyo?

[yoyoyoyo]

How did you go with the upgrade yoyoyoyo?
not very well, but that is not your fault, or a fault of the hack, but rather operator error :) I had no luck with the upgrade and am going to start from scratch on a new database in my test forum. I installed a few buggy hacks inthe old database, and also have learned a lot here in the past few days, so I am at a point where I want to start over again fresh. In my test forum I was using UCash/Ustore, as well as trying to get the Petz running , which I was never able to do (permission problems). My actual forum is not that interested in petz or ucash stuff, and those hacks are so monstrous, etc., that I decided to start fresh with a new database, etc., and only use things that I can incorporate in to the actual forum (what a concept). The VB Mega Jukebox will be one of the first installs, though, and I will not hesitate to come to you for guidance if there are install problems! :D

[ambrosious]

How difficult is the upgrade? Is it seamless? I am LUVIN the original jb hack and want this upgrade BAD! lol

@ yoyoyoyo

:) .... there have been many that have said there is no issues with fresh instilations of the jukebox :)


@ ambrosious

I upgraded a clients board and the process was seemless ... however there has been 2 that have not worked so well, part of that was my mistake as the new templates.php had old templates in it but i have fixed that problem .... go ahead if you have any problems i will lend a hand :)

[ProDjForums.com]

Does this work fine with VB 3.0.6. I am very interested in it for my site.

[trafix]

yep it will work for 3.0.6 :)

[ambrosious]

Thanks!

[ProDjForums.com]

Great I am finishing the upgrade and then some other things....and I will try it out if it is not too difficult.....I am a noob..... :confused:

[yoyoyoyo]

yep it will work for 3.0.6 :)
I am happy to report that it installed like a charm for me in a new fresh virgin version of 3.0.6 :)

[trafix]

Great job :)

[Roxie]

Is there a way to manually add the modifications? This hack seems to have issues with either the vbookie hack or the group read content hack.

[pelican]

is it possible to have sub-categories? else the song list will be very long.

can we choose which directory to store the mp3? it would be better if the directory is out of /public_html/ so people cannot just download or access the media files except by logging into your forum and access through the forum.

Despite the above questions, this hack PWNZ !!!!

@ Roxie

hmmm the only possible issue could be either the same phrasegroupid is being used for both hacks ..... are the phrases for both hacks in the same phrasegroup section of your phrase manager? .... exactly what is happening roxie?

@ pelican

1) it already has categories ... they are called generes ;)

2) i presume that you can put the media folder in that area as long as you add the relative path to that folder in the vb options where is asks for the foldername ... the current code is
[PHP]
$path/
[PHP]

$path = what is entered in the options folder

please report back if you have success ;)

[NuclioN]

Installed but can't upload any mp3 file at all. It seems it doesn't recognize the filetype? How to fix this?

[trafix]

ok if they are large files the uploader may be having problems ... i only tested it with midis ;)

Alternativly
step 1 - you can use your ftp client to upload the songs to the folder.

step 2 - in the admin "add" screen you will see a link that says "Change to manual date entry" select that and enter the info required including the exact filename of the song that you uploaded ....

done :)

[NuclioN]

Ok tnx :) Is it possible to stream/open mp3 trough a link to another location? You can imagine that it is to much work when members want their mp3 in your upload dir and you have to upload them all the time.

[trafix]

hmmmm ... gotta think about that ... the original juke was set up that way but i changed all the code to incorporate the uploader ..... i think i am going to have to find different uploading code if its possible

[NuclioN]

Tnx trafix, it would be awesome :)

[trafix]

what size files are you trying to upload with the browser?

[NuclioN]

2 mb+ trafix. I know there is a php limit in uploading so a bypass looks difficult. To handle the amount of data that is uploaded to the server we had in mind to make a weekly top 10 and after that week all ten mp3 files will then be deleted to make place for another ten mp3's.

There is a system called 'Andromeda' that is capable to set a complete dir open and available for streaming mp3 but that's not free.

[ambrosious]

You rock, installed, working perfectly so far... Did I mention you rock?

[ambrosious]

Ok, when I upload, from the jukebox.php page, where does it go? Can I upload big songs, say 5.0 mb or so?

[ambrosious]

Also, the one song I had in there from the old version is now missing, but it will list in the Top 10 list?

[trafix]

yep ... follow these instructions for large files

where do they go? ... into the folder that you created in the root folder of your forum :)

[trafix]

Also, the one song I had in there from the old version is now missing, but it will list in the Top 10 list?
hmmmm .... if its not a big deal just delete it from the admin area and re upload it.

[ambrosious]

where do they go? ... into the folder that you created in the root folder of your forum :)

What is the max file size for uploads?

[trafix]

when you use you ftp client ... there is no limitation

[The Realist]

Still not got this running after the update?

[trafix]

ok i tried to look back at your prev posts .... but they are all spred out over too many pages ..... can you bring me up to speed on what is and isnt working ... errors ... whatever

[The Realist]

Ok.

Installed the first version and that worked 100%.

I upgraded to your latest version and now it does not work. I can install songs via the admin panel, they show up in the jukebox but none play. Also the links on the bottom of the jukebox dont work as well.

Laters

[ambrosious]

How about when you upload from the jukebox function?

[WiseOwl]

Nevermind... i was having similar problems as others in this thread, after upgrading from v1 to v2... all are fixed and hack runs correctly...

Had the same problem as Deviant++ , where the embeded codec or plugin whateva its called wouldnt show how to play, stop, pause, after making the following change in vb_jukebox.php it shows/works fine


if ($fext == "mpg" or $fext == "mpeg")
{
$viewheight = "290";
$viewwidth = "320";
}
else
{
$viewheight = "45";
$viewwidth = "230";
}




Had the same problem as yoyoyoyo, after installing and hitting "done" would return this error, didn't effect the install


Warning: halt(./includes/functions_log_error.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/site/public_html/forums/includes/db_mysql.php on line 389

Oh and someone posted reguarding audios showing in "Top 10" but not in vb_jukebox.php, you need to click "edit" on the song in vb_jukebox_admin.php and select a genre

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Did you did an uninstall through the installer first?

[Murphinator]

how do you host songs from a remote source?

[yoyoyoyo]

how do you host songs from a remote source?
just enter a URL in to the jukebox via the ACP. I am still keeping my fingers crossed for the option to allow users to submit urls as well as upload files, since none of the songs on my juke are on my server :D

[Murphinator]

vBulletin Message


Please Complete All Required Fields



thats what i get when i enter a url :(

[Murphinator]

did i install wrong?

[trafix]

the first version did allow for remote hosting where as v2 does not.

it seems that i will have to provied an upgrade so that remote hosting is an option.

[Zaeolos]

I just installed this and everything works great except I had problems with the ratings image. I use vbPortal and the $stylevar[imagesfolder] variable pointed to the wrong directory, actually it was a directory that was not even there so what I had to do was change it in the vb_jukebox.php to $stylevar[imgdir_rating]. It seems this would be a better choice for everybody. I just wanted to let you know. Great hack, I am clicking install.

hmm, are you already working on it, because i need it at the moment, can i just change the file to some other code? cus im not on top of all of this

[trafix]

yes, i can do a quick moification the will alow you to host songs from another server ... however .mpg's will still have to go on yours :) .. how does that sound?

[Zaeolos]

I am not sure if it is just me or not, but I am running VB3.0.6 and when I upload from the user upload, it will not tell me if the file is too big, or if the file has already been uploaded. It just goes back to the Main screen. If the file meets the correct parameters, it does upload though. Also, I am not sure of the correct value to put in the Max file size. I tried 1, 1000, and 1000000 and still could not upload a file that was 500Kb. I have my php.ini file set to upload up to 20M so that is not an issue. Could the way VB changed the way they are doing their sessions in 3.0.6 be a cause of my problems? Please advise.

ok ... good news :) ... i inspected the script and no code needs to be changed

in the admin options where it asks for the folder name enter the full path to the where the songs are stored eg "www.something.com/music folder" NO backslash after.

The downside to this is you cant play movie files and all songs have to be put in the host server.

i dout it .... i think there may be other issues involved ... however i added the manual data enter for large files etc ... although is ok for you to upload with ftp, it dosnt help your members.

I only tested the uploader with midi files ;)

Well, as I sit here playing with it, it is not letting me know of any of the phrases that are put in. Like when I upload and it is successful, it does not let me know that it is successful. Or when it is the same file, it does not let me know that.

[trafix]

If you have set in your admincp options to "no redirection" then you wont see it and will go back to the same screen .... maybe i should change them to stop messages instead of redirection messages as most admin will turn off redirection messages

[Zaeolos]

Yep, you hit the nail on the head. I had my redirects turned off. I didn't even think about that. I am really liking this hack. There are just a few more things I am having trouble with. The main thing right now is that I can't seem to make the Max File Size option work for me. I want to restrict the file size to 10MB. I have already tested uploading a 10MB file and it works when the option is set to zero, but if I change it from zero, I cannot upload anything.

[trafix]

immm interesting i will have to look into it further when i get a chance

[Zaeolos]

Not a big deal, I know you are busy. One thing to think about also as an option would be to give the user the ability to choose multiple songs either as a play list or maybe a check box on the side to choose all the songs they want and then a play button to start it. Just an idea...

[yoyoyoyo]

----but it doesn't :) I linked it to a mp3 file on our server but no succes.
I know it's not quite the same thing as version 1. I think what he is referring to is when you specify the folder, instead of "midi" as per the instructions you can enter a remote server to upload to (example: h*tp://anothersite.com/songs). This does not support the adding of songs via URL, as in version 1, and for that reason I prefer version 1 at this point since I prefer not to host any of the songs, so these are really 2 different hacks in that sense.

Hi

Ok i am trying link to an external source for the music, however nothing i do works for example in the options i leave it blank for where the folder is and in the add track i enter the full path but it just just keeps linking to for example:

h**p://www.mysite.com/forum//www.othersite.com/mike/AheadOfTheGame.mp3

No matter what i do i can not get it to link to an off site link.

Please help.

Kirk

[trafix]

in the options "folder" put

h**p://www.othersite.com/mike

and just the file name the song filename

[NuclioN]

Now i'm confused to. I can't find the field where members can put an url. :)

[mekro]

Hi

Thaks for the response but that does not help i did as you said and did the following:

In the jukebox options under the vbulletin options i placed the following link in the folder box: h**p://www.othersite.com/mike

Then in the add a song section i just placed the song name: AheadOfTheGame.mp3

Now the link looks like this: http://mysite.com/forum/http://www.getitfido.com/mike/AheadOfTheGame.mp3

Any help please as it keeps adding the http://mysite.com/forum/ part to the beginning of every song.

Thanks
Kirk

[trafix]

hmmm, i just tested it on my forum and it does work

I changed the vb options "Media Folder" to "h**p://srv01.orpbus.com/~admin152/upload/midi"

[mekro]

Sorry for the trouble and yes it does work i was just impatinat for the song to load.

My bad and thanks for the hack it brilliant.

By the way anyway of letting the user know how much of the song is loadded as it can take up to 5 minutes for a song to load and many members think its not loading.

Trafix,
Thank you so much! Easy install and so far no glitches.

One question:
Since I anticipate my song list growing I'm a bit concerned about the length of the entry page. Could you tell me if it is possible to load the page with the categories collapsed instead of opened?

Would it be a matter of modding the template? If so, how?

Thanks again for sharing your work with all of us ... and for your support as well.

[trafix]

Your welcome :)

i have been flat out with other client sites and projects (not to mention the thunder storms) that i have been able to provide much support the tast couple of day ;)

As for calapsed categories on page open ... im not sure maybe post the question in the mod discussion forum.

The only possible reason for getting minus plays is if you have the jukebox mode in the admin options set for members only - credits required.

In version 2.x + of the jukebox this i done automaticly when the script sees a file with the extension .mpg or .mpeg we can include other file extensions if you need to :)

ok This is what you do .....

in vb_jukebox.php find


$playsong = "$vboptions[jb_media_folder]/$playthisong[url]";

2) who can upload songs to the jukebox
3) who can rate other songs

can someone help me

the permissions groups are located in the usergroup menu of your admin panel.

Expland the usergroup mane in the admin navigation and click on "Usergroup Manager" from there edit each usergroup setting the jukebox permissions that are listed near the bottom of the list

Done!

hmm, i could do that and add a new setting in the options .....yippee! :)

The only possible reason for getting minus plays is if you have the jukebox mode in the admin options set for members only - credits required.


I'm set to members only.. not the "credits required" setting and im still getting minus plays.. it has to be something where they go over a certain ammount of plays, because I get over 200 to 500 plays per song..

Okay, I know we never seemed satisfied ... always asking for more :nervous: ... so, forgive my audacity, Trafix. But would there be any possibility of you adding the capacity for Flash files to be uploaded and played?

I know it's a whole different player. There is a hack by Erwin to display flash movies; however, it does not include an uploader for users. And the file extension must be truncated to drop the .SWF on all file names.

I think it would be a great addition to the Jukebox, so I hope you will consider it.

On different issue regarding current video file extensions ... you said:

...we can include other file extensions if you need to.

how about .avi,.asf,.wmv,.mov?

Thanks!

I've got a problem... i've tried to figure this out for hours now :(

I've installed a fresh version of the Jukebox and finally figured out how to work with it - but the songs do not play... i know they're in the right place and everything is set up - but they're just NOT playing????


also i've never installed the older version but in the footer it says version 1.2 ...

am i missing something here?

[el diablo]

also i've tried to uninstall and reinstall and now i get this:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.6:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE language ADD `phrasegroup_jukebox` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'phrasegroup_jukebox'

mysql error number: 1060

how can i drop that info so i can reinstall?

also: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/thesirk/public_html/forum/install/hacks/Jukebox/2/file_mods.php on line 18

hmmm... I forgot I was upgrading, and goofed. I uploaded all the files, didn't delete folder #1, and did steps 1 - 4, by the time I realized it, hmmm... its too late.

How can I undo this stupidity? lol

[el diablo]

i just need to know how to undo this DB situation :(

i just need to know how to undo this DB situation :(
umm, i dont think you have a db situation .... the quiries are run last so you should be safe, does everything work ok?

[el diablo]

no it wouldn't play the songs at all... i checked over everything a million times... i read all of the posts in here and everything. I'm not sure what the problem is... i uninstalled and reinstalled...

but when i try to reinstall it gives me the DB error saying "duplicate field" or whatever - which is expected... i just can't remember how to drop those specific fields...

anyways, yeah everything is there - it shows up... and the songs as well - but nobody can hear the songs =\
