The mp3 player is set to use internal or external linking, therefore it can use mp3's on another server. The video player however, wasn't designed to use external server linking only local access. This will probably be changed in a future release.

Added...:)

Sure... Here you go! :)

when I'm trying to install this I get the following error or vB 3.6.4

XML Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at Line 1

I'll check this later... I'll upgrade a test board to 3.6.4 and try an install.

Strange because its a standard XML import/export file.:confused:

Remember you can still vote for this mod for 'Mod of the Month', if you haven't done so already.


An update is due very soon, including updated players! ;)

pardon my ignorance but i installed everything properly and it works fine in vb 3.6.4, but when i did the cmps install, i can't get it to do anything but what it says below:

The template code uses the supplied flashobject.js to call the xeon flash player, this fixes the issue with view the player in Internet Explorer 6.0 and above. There is some text in the code “Warning!!! To view this vbMp3 Player please enable JavaScript and Flash! “, this will only display if a person views your site with javascript and flash disabled. You can change this line of text to what you would like to display to visitors. The flashobject.js file will detect if the person has javascript and flash enabled, and will either display the text or the mp3 player automatically

anyone have any tips?

I'm assuming you have the vBa CMPS installed outside your forum 'ROOT', therefore the paths will be incorrect.

There are 2 file calls in the CMPS coding, namely flashobject.js and the xeon_mp3_beta.swf - if you prepend both these files with the full url, then that should fix this problem.

HTH

Installed and playing songs fine.... only thing is it doesnt show any more than 10 songs in each playlist for me - and there are 30 or more?
Anyone help me there with that?
Also - not sure if its a bug, but if you drag the play position seek bar to more than 1/2 way, it moves straight on to the next song in the playlist...
A very nice mod - the members love it :)

That's something I've not come across before... But I'll run a few tests.


Make sure all your mp3's do not have varying bitrates - this causes problems within flash files, from tracks not playing at correct speeds to seek bar acting abnormally.

This is so awesome! Installed!!

hehe - that would be right - if something can happen to me and no else, it surely will! LOL ....seems to be my own "murphy's law"

The different bit rates thing is difficult to avoid, our forum is a "private" one therefore I dont have 'Approve New Mp3 Added' on.... how would I check the bitrate info of the songs linked to ??
thanks again - great support too cheers

PS latest vBulletin? Version 3.6.4 running .....

hehe... and I thought I was the only one with my own 'Murphys Law';)

I'll look up a few free utilities that do this, some allow you to change the bitrate. However, mp3 bitrates cannot be changed server-side - unless there's a script out there I haven't seen yet. lol

I'll check back on this tomorrow, 2am here in the UK and I need some sleep.

Support should be a priority on any modifcation! Well, mine anyway!;)

Is it possible put a limit on who uploads what?

Example: I only want each user to be able to upload 1 MP3. When they upload a 2nd one .. it overwrites the 1st. So .. each user can have their favorite MP3 of the moment uploaded to the player. (and .. hopefully .. it will display the username beside the song or something)

If its not possible right now .. will it be possible in the near future?

ok, that fixed my issue, but also rose another one...now it's not loading any of my playlists...can u take a look for me?

thanks! :cool:

There is a bug on the non shuffle player, when i click on the playlist then click again, all the tracks show up twice.. and if you keep clicking it keeps coming up more

Just to let you know mate - fixed the probs of not displaying more than 10 - it appears some of the songs added which have "character accents" in the names also does strange things :)
I did see the single/double quotes thing are a known bug, so I know you'll be looking at issues of filtering input anyway, hope this helps a little along the way.
heres some of the ones that were causing probs.
(as if blank spaces werent bad enough!)

/07%20-%20Estoy%20Aqu%ed.mp3', 'true', 0, 'Shakira,Estoy Aqu?.', 1);
/06%20-%20Inevitable.mp3', 'true', 0, 'Shakira, Inevitable', 1);
/05%20-%20Ciega,%20Sordomuda.mp3', 'true', 0, 'Shakira, Ciega,Sordomuda', 1);
/04%20-%20Moscas%20en%20la%20Casa.mp3', 'true', 0, 'Shakira,MoscasenlaCasa.', 1);
/03%20-%20D%f3nde%20Est%e1n%20Los%20Ladrones.mp3', 'true', 0, 'Shakira,D?ndeEst?nLosLadrones', 1);
/02%20-%20Si%20te%20Vas.mp3', 'true', 0, 'Shakira,Si-te-Vas', 1);

fixing this also seemed to stop the glitch of jumping to next track if the seek bar was dragged along past halfway..

Anyway - just thought I'd post this in case it helps with your debugging
cheers syrus

This was mentioned in a previous post - I need to update the main post. Flash doesn't parse the urls correctly if they contain 'white space' so it gets converted, which causes many problems.

Nothing is ever easy! ;) Thanks anyway, Kiwi! :)

Wow this looks really nice and id love to try and use this.


ok... it seems i am the only one having trouble. I think i installed and uploaded correctly. I uploaded the MP3 and set the URL as
http://www.xxxxx.com/mp3/song1.mp3, and it plays correctly if i browse that page using firefox.

I think the player is getting a feed because it does say Song 2- Blur on the player, but it doesnt play anything. It says Total in PlayList 1:(1) and the clock doenst move from 00:00.

The .mp3 works fine on my windows media player as well.

Heres the setting im playing it at.
MP3 ID---URL---------------------------------Streat-Buffer -----
1 http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/mp3/song1.mp3 True ----0----- Song 2 - Blur 1


Would anybody have a slightest clue what i have overlooked?

ok. It didnt work last night. I woke up this morning without changing a thing, and its working now. :)

But now, the problem is that the track is playing maybe 50% faster than it should. Would i just have to reupload the song?

This is a sign that the mp3 bitrate is of an incorrect value, and flash cannot read it correctly, therefore it will play it wrong - majority of the times this will be the speed.

For mp3's to work correctly, I would suggest a 128k bitrate for all tracks. Lower than this will become noticeable on playback. With a 128k bitrate, most mp3's tend to be around 3-5Mb in size.

HTH

Ths is a great Mod. Installed it yesterday, spent a few hours today converting and uploading 60+ songs.
It was working great, my members were loving it, then wallop. The MP3 directory on my websapce dsappeared!

I can't think of any other explanation other than my ISP deleted it (ICDSoft).
Anybody else had this problem? Is t common?

I just looked at your Web Hosts Terms of Use policy, they do not allow mp3 files on their servers. Strange, for any hosting company - because that means you can't even use your own material in mp3 format either.

Personally, I don't store mp3's on my server - they are hosted in another country. Laws and use of mp3's vary from country to country.

Hello I have a problem on having loaded flash I give the mistake " not to could load the movie " to see if they can help me

I can´t put music on mp3 player...what do that? link, how?

This Resolved,thanks

Hi,

Have you uploaded any mp3's to link to yet? Once you have done this then you can put the link in to the mp3 player.

HTH

Is the flash player file located in the root of your forums? That error will appear if the code cannot find the flash file (swf).

HTH

What link? I upload 7.5GB of music mp3 to my server but what link i have put it when add a mp3?Thanks


e.g. h**p://dhp.servebbs.com/forum/music/Benni Benassi-Sprea Love.mp3

Thanks for the swift reply syrus.

Thats a shame! The server I am on with them is in Hong Kong too! I used to have the old Jukebox on another of my websites for over a year with no problem (same host) but I've just remembered that I converted all of the files to .wma format.

You couldn't possibly PM me with any links to mp3's could you? I spent some time earlier looking but drew a blank.

Thanks
Alan

Thanks all but i resolve the problem. Thank Syrus.xl

I must be missing something!

Can't wait to try this mod out but I cannot seem to find where you give the users access to it. I have followed the install instructions but the line that says "Now, navigate to AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager – adjust usergroups permissions as required. Default is all usergroups have no access." doesn't seem to take me anywhere where I can turn the access rights on.

Anyone got any ideas?

If you have all well done you must be see this imageon User Groups Manager.

Tell the version you have of Vbulletin please.

I ended up uninstalling this. I run a music site, and it's fantastic in part for sites like mine since the idea is for members to upload their own content/songs.

The problem is that there isn't any limit set for the number of files or space constraits, so brand new members could concievably sign up to my site and upload a slew of pirate MP3s, or just keep uploading until my webspace is consumed.

If you can add to the usergroup permissions a file count and space check, I'd love to reinstall it - I realize that I can set the max upload size in php.ini, but that doesn't really get around the rest of the issues. :(

Does anybody know of any free/cheap ISP that it is ok to host mp3 files? I am desperate to be able to use this mp3player lol

Oh dear - that was my first post and it turns out to have been a bit of a school boy error!

Sorry guys, I got my live and test environments mixed up! Thanks for the quick response though!

Now that everything appears set up in the administrator panel I am having trouble opening the GUI. When I click on the link on the navigation I get a blank screen.

Any ideas?

As for the version - it is a fresh install (3.6.4)

Thanks again Dramster

EDIT: Apologies once again! Sorted now. Not my best start to a new bard I've joined :-)

Solution:

chmod 777 xeon_mp3_beta file. Regards

Installed. Working great but I am getting an error message at the end of my play list. Any ideas what would be causing this?

eta: I should state that the message pops up after the last song has finished playing.

Hi all

I have sent syrus the updated files that fixes the redirect in the admincp,
and also i have added the option of adding multiple mp3 files in the add mp3 page.
You will be able to add 3 mp3 files at a time in there now.
If anyone has problems with the script i will help as much as i can.
