Thanks for the list! :)


Question, why does my player not work? It doesnt show up? see above screen shot.. Anyone know why?

That looks like a problem with a javascript call is missing to flashobject.js file or this file is not uploaded. Have the person that installed this modification to check that all javascript calls are correctly coded in the right templates.

With respect to a manual, one was never produced as such - mainly because it is just a simple modification once installed.

A few tips to get you started:
1. Go to Usergroups -> Edit Usergroup you wish the player permissions to be set for (normally Admin first, so you can check it all works).
2. Add a mp3 track by clicking on Add to Playlist 1, etc in the AdminCP. Make sure you enter urls of mp3 tracks in full including the http:// part of the address.
3. Enter a title, set Buffer to 5 (this tells the player to load 5 secs of the mp3 before playing, this is to stop problems with slow servers). Approve the mp3, so it will show within the player.

Due to the way Flash works, you may experience problems if you add an mp3 which is using, non-standard bitrates, this will cause the track to be played at a different speed. I would suggest using a bitrate of 128k and above.

If you still have problems after this let me know, and contact me via PM - I will set it up for you.

Stupid question, where do we find and adj the bitrate? Is that done when the mp3 was originally saved or is that something we can adj manually?

Mp3 'bitrates' is a value saved, basically the higher the bitrate the better the sound quality. Most mp3's are saved at 128k, this would generally give you an mp3 of around 3-4Mb, while 192k will give you roughy 5Mb or more depending on length of the track.

Bitrates are set when the initial track is 'ripped' from a CD or other source.

Thanks for the support syrus. We have it up and running now! :)

You're welcome! :)

*Installed*

1 thing. I am unable to edit.

I am running VB 3.6.8 patch level 2. I installed the player 'Non-Popup' style.

Help?

Did you save the settings straight after installation? If you didn't re-import the product XML then refresh the AdminCP page, go straight to Mp3 Player Settings and Click Save.

If you still unable to Edit a track after this, Delete it and check you have entered the url was correct, including the http:// part of the url.

Yeah, I saved the settings directly after installation, per the included instructions. The urls(including the http://) are all correct, and the tracks play. But if, for instance, the buffer was set too short, or they placed [url] tags on it out of habit, I am forced to delete the track, and have them redo it. As opposed to just fixing it for them.

Oh right, to be honest I didn't realize people would place BBcode url tags on a mp3 url address, easy mistake I guess. I will look into this matter being fixed, the only reason it is set like it is at present is because of some Apache server configurations with the httpd service. We will look at a workaround on this issue.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

what do i do if my music wont play?

I am sure this a good add-on, BUT all I get to see is
"Warning!!! To view this vbMp3 Player please enable JavaScript and Flash! "
I have java and flash enabled on my explorer too..

question
is the maximum mp3's it could hold is 500
because im starting a site with thousands of mp3 streams

hi i got my mp3 working and all...
its just that it wont play the song....what do i do?

Frequently asked questions regarding naming of mp3 files can be found here:

There are various sections, which are not available on here.

This normally shows if the javascript call is missing from the headinclude template. Check to see that this line of code is in this template.

This player is limited because it was released as a free player - we are in the process of extended this to unlimited and categorized sections. However, this only applies to our commercial players.

sweeet!!

btw i fixed the problem...

thxs!

is there a link to a home page btw?

You're welcome...

'link to home page' - What are you referring to?

is there a link to a home page of this hack?

The main release page for this modification is here:
http://www.digitalport.co.uk/digital...ad.php?t=74499

There is a new player about to be released, within a few days. Basically, a player to suit light colored schemes.

thxs!

i'll read about it!
:)

I never could get it to play.. I scrappped the whole project

You only have to ask for support - its free on this modification, and available here and on our main website.

This is a common issue. It normally refers to the javascript call not being present. If you look at the main installation, check that you have edited the headinclude template - it should have this js call added.
If it's missing this will cause that error you can see.

HTH.

I figured out what the problem is. When you search for vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion] it brings up the support style for headinclude, but most users are using the default style so it doesn't get added to the default style.

There is another problem. Non-registered users can't see the player even if you change their settings in their usergroup.

What version of vBulletin are you using? I've never seen this before.

3.6.9

Preferably, I would like non-registrants to be able to view and use the player at Biblocality Forums. On the Navbar should be a link, "Christian Music" for the light ZEON Z4, but it doesn't show up for non-registrants even though I changed the settings in usergroups.

3.6.9 - this is one version that it wasn't checked on (I see there are issues already with this version). It was tested upto 3.6.8 and then 3.7.

You can just remove the IF conditional that surrounds the actual link, this will allow the link to show guests, but not able to add tracks, unless you change the setting in the AdminCP.

installed, love this player can see it here: www.clubf100.com

I posted this on the other thread for the Z4 but just in case you check this more. (sorry for the spam ><)

Installed but I am having the problem with the Javascript enabled. I think I have done everything you suggested. Putting the above the I have put the all the files in the correct corresponding: admincp, includes, and clientscript folders.

Root Folder

> xeon_mp3_beta
> mp3playerindex.php
> mp3playlist.php

Admin CP

> mp3player_admin.php

Clientscript

> flashobject.js

includes -> xml folder

> bitfield_mp3player.xml
> cpnav_mp3player.xml


As you can see from my forums: www.GRevForums.net the Player is at the bottom of the page in a collapsable table. Would this affect the coding I use? - EDIT: Moved it to the navbar instead.


I have viewed all the posts in these boards relating to the javascript error and also looked on your own forums and have tried all the fixes there aswell. The flashobject file is in the clientscript folder, I have tried both relative and absolute urls for the headinclude code. I cant think of anything else I can do to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

:)

Can you give me temp access to your site so I can see the mp3 player? I will have a look at the source code for you and check the paths being sent are correct.

Just PM me the temp usr and pwd - and I'll check it for you.

Thanks PMed you now.

Update: Thanks to syrus.xl its fixed now.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CODER!

Is anyone else having the same problem with 4.0 where non-registratants can't see the link to the player? even though viewing mp3 for their usergroup is selected?

Nice work :)
I got a question,
How can i enable JavaScript and Flash to accsses the mp3player?

Is anyone having the same problem as me? I can't see the link to the mp3player for non-registrants, nor can they even view the player, even though I changed their usergroup to view the player. (I had to get rid of the <if></if>)
