Ok, i've got it:

In Admin CP also activate:
Disable BB Code Within This BB Code: YES
Disable Smilies Within This BB Code: YES
Disable Word Wrapping Within This BB Code: YES

With the update to 4.0.3 vb converts the url for the flash param to the [.url][./url] tag. So that's why there is the "File not found" msg.

After setting up the BB code, edit your post and remove the url tag and everthing should work fine!

Thank you very much, now work fine very fine in vb4.0.3PL1.

Is there a way to make this play a private or locally hosted file or a vb attachment rather than just public access urls?

Voila! Its working perfectly fine! Thanks very much!

Actually there is no way to hide the url for the popup player or the html code for the inline player. The Plugins works fine with a attachment url (if attachment is an mp3 file, and the user has got rights to view/download it). Playing locally files is only possible when you host them on a local apache server, but i can't see any useful option in this case.

1 question , if we upload any mp3 song on any normal upload sites , like 4 shared , rapid share , A drive etc
and after upload , these link works with this player or not ,

I raise my files mp3 to fileden and they work correctly, we put them in order that the people could listen to them.

Thanks for the reply, Olli. I might not have phrased the question properly. Especially the use of the word "local" might have been confusing. Let me give the example why I am asking this:

1./ I run a members only forum. It is on our own private server
2./ I want to give the members access to some special purpose MP3 files
3./ The files are copyright, and have a restricted use license. Members can use them; but nobody else should have access
4./ I need to store the files somewhere so that the logged in members can access the MP3 files using the BB code player
5./ I am happy to store the files on our own private server, but I would prefer not to upload the files to a directory that is some public access URL

Where/how do I do that? (to avoid the files becoming public)

Nice, simple, and functional! Thanks!

@ syrn
That depends on the hoster and their function/restriction on the ddl option. I think for example rapidshare links, with enabled ddl might work, but i have not tested it yet.

@ lemonadesoda
ok, now i understand your intention. I did'nt test this solution, but it might be possible that you can use a "member" ftp link like ftp://username:pass@hostname:port/path/to/mp3//file.mp3.
Another possible solution can be a htaccess protectet folder. But everyone who wants wants to use the MP3 urls in this folder, needs a htacess login.
For a really secure and vbulletin based system, it might be possible to use a database system like donwloads2. You can select a database storage filesystem, so the files can not be found on a open web server location. After Uploading Files to the Database you can use the downloads2 links for the BB Code Player.

But i say it once again: nothing is tested yet.

Tagged for latter.

Cool!
1. But is there a chance that it plays also RealPlayer files?

2. What if I attach a file with my post, and thus have no direct .mp3 link, will it work? Or is there a way to have it auto-detect attached mp3s and plays them. (maybe for next release)

3. Arabic text is shown in funny characters in the player (attached image)


Thanks :)

Getting an error generated by v4.0.4pl1 when setting up the BBCode and trying to save it?

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks .. :)

Anyone?

Thanks .. :)

I can confirm this for 4.0.4, will have a look for it.

Thanks ... :up:

Would love to use the pop-up version for a special podcast area of our forums ..

Will stand by ... :)

Regards,
Badger

You can bypass the problem by clicking next on the error page. After this, code works fine.

Thanks .. appreciate that ... :)

Worked great ...

Any idea how to get rid of the psychedelic "Hake Clan Musik etc etc" graphics that appear in the pop-up? :D

Our membership demographic is 60+, so I'm not sure they're ready for that. :D

Regards,
Badger

Can I impose on someone with more knowledge that I certainly have, to provide a player.php module to replace the one in the pop-up version of this mod, that simply shows the player controls against a neutral background color?

I've tried playing with it myself, but have spent hours getting nowhere....

Any help would be appreciated .. :)

Regards,
Badger

Just replace the gfx files.

Thank you .. :)

Thanks .. Installed

Installed, working perfect on 4.0.5!

Cheers, donation coming your way! :)

Hey, any idea how to get my mp3's to play streaming? Mine downloads the whole file first, and then starts playing. I've seen this same player used on several wordpress sites and there the file starts playing immediately, rather than downloading first.
Thanks!

UPDATE: For some reason, it streamed another mp3 I tried so it might have just been something with that one. ?? No idea.

Thank you. Work very well on 4.0.5

very very good

I haven't read through all the threads but is there a way to get this to work with attachments? That is so they upload then play an AV file from their computer.

Normally it should not initialize a download and i can't imagine, why this should only happen to one file. Is there another extension than mp3 at this file?

And thx for your support :)

It does work with attachements, but not directly. You can use attachment urls for the player.

But i'm thinking about an extension for the addon. If there is an mp3 upload in the attachments, it will automaticly insert a player for this file.

But atm i do not have the time for this.

Thanks.

I having problem getting this to work. I added the following code to bbcode

Title: MP3 Player
BB Code Tag Name: MP3
Replacement

<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.mysite.com/audio-player.js"></script>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.mysite/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.mysite/player.swf">
<param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&amp;soundFile={param}">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>

Use {option} No
Remove tag if empty: Yes
Disable BB Code Within BBcode: Yes
Disable Smiles Within BBCode: No
Disable Word Wrapping within BBCode: Yes


I open a New Thread and added

Here is my test song [MP3] http://www.mysite.com/test.mp3[/MP3] enjoy!

When I try to view it I see every thing except the player.

So far here is what I check.
1: webserver can play shockwave and flash files
2: if I was to type http://www.mysite.com/player.swf using the brower the player will appear
3: if I was to type http://www.mysite.com/test.mp3 using the browser the test.mp3 will try to download.

Is there a setting on Vbulletin 4.0.6 that I need to enable/disable ? or am I missing something or will this mod not work on 4.06

Thanks
John

Demo Link?

Ah wait sorry, no install: no support.

Simple design and great stuff; thanks! And it´s also working for 3.8.x as well!

How to set the autoplay man? ;)

Great mod :D

Just add:
<param name="autostart" value="yes">
to the BB Code.

whan try to play a file
it said buffering and it keeps buffering

Is it a mp3 file? The player supports only mp3 files.

Bit of a newbie here and a little confused. I would like to add podcast mp3 file to my site and am unsure of where/how to place the files. I tried uploading them as an attachment to a new forum post but could not seem to upload them through "upload manager". I then uploaded a test mp3 file to the root directory of my server and added a url link (http://www.mysite.com/test.mp3) to a new forum post. When I click on the url link, a new web browser window pops up and the mp3 plays but not in the manner (embedded player in vb) like described with this plugin. Sure I'm missing the boat...any assistance would be appreciated. thx rb

Got it working...its all in the details of the filepaths. Great work, love it!
