HI, when i close the player in IE. It makes my browser crash. Any ideas?

Hi,

The actual error you would receive with 'over-loading' the current flash player is a popup with "A script as stopped responding, do you wish to continue?" with 'Yes' and 'No' buttons.

It shouldn't crash your browser unless you have less than 2 tracks in the XML file or more than 50 tracks.

Other issues that can cause this is your internet cache needs emptying or you have spyware (BHO's) in your system.

P.S - Your signature image is too large, if vbulletin staff see it then it will be deleted.

Hey, i have 10 songs, and its just when i load up the player, then click the cross. the browser will freeze. It just happens on talkmods.com though

because when i closed it while i was on this site. it didnt crash.

EDIT: After i close the player. It takes about 20 seconds for the site to unfreze.

Check it at talkmods.com

I just checked your site and it didn't freeze on close of the browser window.

The player may cause problems if you use mp3's of varying bitrates, ideally they should be encoded at 128k. The Flash player will still play them but it may sound like they are on a 'fast-forward' speed.

Have you updated your flash player plugin? It should be on version 9, since there are security issues with previous versions.

Is there a way I can change that skin? I would like to change it to another one, but I have no idea how to do that :(

Hi,

The current skin cannot be changed, it was specifically designed to look like an ipod as much as possible, including all the emulated functions - apart from the volume control. The whole design was integrated with the look, hence the actual look cannot be changed without ruining certain features. I designed it originally for use on myspace.com profiles back in March, but I never actually released it, and it did win an award for best lookalike in one group.

There are numerous mp3 players on the net which sell for around $30 each, but I don't intend to charge for my design - and they allow for different skins. The pro version mentioned in the first post will have many more features than any commercial ones on the net, and packed with a few different players for different usage.

The pro release will have the ability to change skins, change color tint via a HEX value and an alpha setting. However, this version will be integrated directly into the vBulletin database, and not due out for awhile yet.

A 'black gloss' skinned player will be released later this week, with some new features, followed by the 'silver skinned' version.

So, as you can see there is alot planned for this modification - and the current one was just a 'small mod' that I didn't think would attract so much attention.

I will fully support this version and forthcoming versions of this modification, with many new features that have been discussed throughout this thread.

:)

Is there a way to configure playlists based on genre or artist? My users keep complaining about all the rap in between thier rock :/

I expect you're referring to multiple playlist 'switching' - this version doesn't support that feature.

The one I am currently designing (black gloss) does have multiple playlist switching by using numerous XML files containing your mp3 tracks. I'm not sure yet how many playlists it will be set to, as the number needs to be hardcoded into the player. With the pro version this won't be problem since all the playlists will be held in the database and all tracks entered through the AdminCP.

I wish now I had used the AdminCP panel from the start... oh well, we all learn by our mistakes.;)

I might buy the full version when it comes out, but than again, thats only if my forums actually become popular and I would like to invest that kind of money into them.
