I think I see it now, try this:
[MP3]http://www.sats-general.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=$attach[attachmentid].mp3[/MP3]

You don't need to use /vb that is an example of your vb directory, not what you actually need to use, it's supposed to be specific to your url which is /forum.

thankyou so much its working a treat now,excellent suport from you,your a saint thankyou

just to let you know i updated to the latest version of firefox,and the media player is working great

excellent hack installed and working with no problems

Update: Added an option to allow only certain groups to add the option to view/paste the URL in their post. Still working on securing the actual BBcode to specific groups.

How would you make it so people would have to sign in to view the video? I don't want to lock the forums down to that as quite a few of my members do read while in guest mode, but i'm not wanting to just allow anyone to click on the video's that might not be registered either.

At the moment there is no option for that, I've had a very difficult time trying to secure the custom bbcode.

is there a way to do this not as an attachment, but as a url link? in other words, use [MEDIA] http://www.someotherwebsite.com/video.wmv[/MEDIA]

that would be incredible!

yes, i'd like that feature too
along with the upload thingy

as a n00b, im not following that instructiuon m8.
im having the same problem, where i have uploaded the attachment, it shows underneath the player, al is well, except i cant hear the file playing, and the player just seems to stick on "connecting"......

uploaded all ok, all the filepaths are right......scratching my head now....lol
