Radio and TV Player 3.8.x
 

Mark this thread as installed only if you want to receive important update notifications by email.

This will add a fully featured Radio and TV Streaming Player with stations library to your forum.

Features:
- Users can add / delete / edit own stations (controlled by usergroup permissions)
- Users can have a favorite stations list
- Report broken / duplicate stations links
- Totally coded in AJAX (no page reloads)
- Plays Windows Media Player, Real Player and Quicktime streams
- Shows user's favorites and last played station in profile page
- and much more...

Installation is easy. You need to upload some files, import a product, import the default stations (if you wish) and make only two manual navbar template edits, one for the popup link and another for the javascript that opens the popup. This is optional and the link can be put elsewhere, just remember to also add the javascript on the same page.

This mod is "Re-usable Code", meaning you can modify and release your modified version.

You are responsible for the streams you add to your website. The mod author doesn't take responsibility for possible copyright infringements in some countries by using some stations.

Arabic and Chinese don't work with Ajax, so this mod won't work, sorry.

This mod took roughly two weeks to code, so it should be somewhat good and bug free :)

German Translation for version 2.0 - by redlabour

=======================================

to-do List

Post ideas for improvements and they may be added here.

Planned features for vB 4 (note that the features are my wish list, and may not be feasible so they are not final)

- on/off switch for each station info
- [s]check if Radio and TV text on navbar is hardcoded, and make it not[/s] it's not hardcoded, it's the phrase "rs_radiostations"
- make a system where admins can add they own players (don't forget support for flash, embed and object, just let them add the whole code with replacement variables)
- hide profile info if no radio has been listened or no favorites
- put javascript in a .js
- deleting station in favorites creates a ghost favorite entry

Right now this is just a re-post of the current version of the mod found in the 3.7.x forum, version 2.0 so you don't need to upgrade.

Yes sorry.
Yes it was asked in the other post that I reposted this here.

maybe im blind but i cant find where to change permissions for usergroups to allow access to radio and tv?

Every time I try to install with Import Product I get the following error. I bet I have tried at least a dozen times to get this to load.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your help. BTW, I have tried to delete all of the database files that start with radio. This does not help. I have deleted all of the files and re-uploaded them to proper dierectories. This does not help either. I'm scratching my head.

Try removing the radioandtvpermissions column from the table usergroup and try again.

Did you have this mod before, but didn't uninstall?

i have it from 3.7 version and it is running fine in 3.8.
should i still upgrade it to 3.8?

thankx for bringing it here bro:)
when do u plan to release a new version?

Right now I'm really busy working on another project that takes most of my time, but I'm considering doing this not sure when.

I had the mod several versions of vB ago. Like at 3.2.0. When I did an upgrade it didn't work so I uninstalled and tried a newer version of the Radio/TV Add-on. It wouldn't ever install to the newer version. I have tried with each new updated version of both vB and the Radio/TV player.

I liked the Add-on very much when it worked.

I will try removing the radioandtv permissions column from the table usergroup. I'll be back.

OK, that worked. Thank you very much. Click Installed.

Looks nice cant wait 2 install thanks

Great mod! just wondering is it legal to have tv stations
on your site, is there copyright issues?

When I click on the Options link in the drop down menu in the AdminCP it does not display anything. Any thoughts why?

r00lez! Absolutely awesome addon and almost 100% my taste in music style - I luv techno since 1990. ;)

Dream, you said to do this to get the streams:

When I right click it does not have the option to Show Source. What am I doing wrong?

Depends on the browser, "Show Source" is on Firefox I think, on other browsers is another menu item, you gottta check what is the one that shows the page code for your browser.

An user had a problem with the options menu because the cpnav.xml file had &amp; in it, not sure what caused it for him (a mod perhaps) so to get to the options go to vBulletin Options > Radio Options instead.

Well, I found the source code for the sites. But, the code for the feeds are not on the main site codes nor is it on the "Listen Now" feeds. How do you get the feed code from the radio station sites? Do I look for it through the main site source code or go somewhere else to find it?

Listen Now opens a window? You need to get the url from the window that plays the station.

Some sites uses tricks to hide the urls.

Now you tell me. lol I see the tricks. They use javascript to hide the URL's.

More translations needed ;-)

Thanks for the nice work Dream
installed and working with translation code to insert into ajax so it will show correct charcters so far 15 % done no promises for full translated version yet
thanks again

Here you go Dream. I made this XML of 5 stations around the NY, NJ, PA and CT area.

Hi all,

First of all, I enjoyed this mod in my 3.7.4 version of VB.

I upgrade to 3.8 and now i'm getting this error:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php on line 19

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php on line 42

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/init.php(298) : eval()'d code on line 70

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in [path]/includes/vba_cmps_include_top.php on line 621

Anybody who can help?

I already did a new install, but keeping the same

Thanks in advance.

First off. Awesome Mod! Installed clicked :)

I am sure this has been brought up before somewhere. Could the random station played when the page loads be pulled from the users favorites list? If they don't have a favorite saved then pull a random station from the main list?

VERY NICE MOD!!!

Love it!

Any suggestions on where to find more stations though?

How do you get the streaming URL?

This is how I am doing it...
Anyway, that is the way I did it.

Nobody???

Did you try disabling vbadvanced to see if that cures your problem?

When i disable vbadvanced its working, but with vb 3.7.4 it was working with vbadvanced and i tried (i think) about everything.

So if this means i have to choose between those 2, i'm dissapointed and have to remove the radio:(
