Simply amazing job on this new player. Clicked for mod of the month. :)

Hi,

Not a silly question, and certainly not asked for before...

At the moment its not possible to parse a playlist title through the actual flash player. However, once this modification is fully integrated into vBulletin then the options will become endless, things like searchable playlists, tracks and allowing members (permission set) to add songs, etc will all be possible.

:)

COOL! ;)

Got it... I missed the .js file... it's working, auto-starting and shuffling. My members love me!!!

Definitely gets my MOTM click!!! Thank you!!!

could this be made into a attachments reader?
like when ever there is a thread with audio attachments a button well apear near the reply and quote under sig, and u click on it and it will send those files to the player's playlist, (maybe the urls for the attachments can be put in a table in ur db then the player reads its playlist from there) and then it will play the filesin that thread, and if u keep the player open then u can go to other threads and keep adding to the list.
i really like this idea:) that would be one of the best hacks a attachment player

There's only one problem with playing attachments when using flash, and that is security related issues. It's very easy to setup and attach a redirect in flash. So you would need to be able trust your members 100%, or have permissions set in such a way so they could post attachments, but not show until they've been moderated by an administrator.

There is a new parameter been added in Flash player 9.0 ActiveX called 'allowNetworking' - but this doesn't stop a flash redirection for malicious purposes.

.............. ;)

Excellent. Again, great hack. Thanks.

There is a small bug I must say... Songs sometimes dont play at all or play slow, I dont know if its the server problem or the MP3 player not liking the music 0.o

By 'slow' do you mean the actual mp3 track appears to sound like its running at a slow speed? If this is the case, its due to how flash works with mp3 streaming and variations in the mp3 bitrate. If your mp3's have varying bitrates then you end up with all sorts of problems. The way around this is to make sure all mp3 data is encoded at 128bit rate.

If you mean mp3's taking time to stream from a server then try changing the soundbuffer value to 3 or change the stream to false, within the XML file - this will override the default values I have set in flash player.

Hope this resolves your problem.
