Inline Concepta Mp3 Player - XEON Series 4
 

A demonstration of the "Inline Concepta Xeon Series 4 Mp3 Player" - allowing you to add Mp3's to any post! It is light-weight, and designed to color match the default vBulletin 4.0 style. Easy installation requiring no template edits or product imports.

We have designed the player to pull the file name and display it within the player, along with it's own equalizer. Simple one button operation. The player itself is light-weight, and uses only vector based graphics, and no bitmaps.

This player does not use the same engine coding previously used with the XEON series mp3 players for vBulletin 3.x. We have completely rebuilt the engine coding and improved it beyond anything released so far. The new "Concepta" range of products are designed from scratch and to compliment vBulletin 4.x series, using new coding, allowing us to increase what we can achieve.

Important
This modification is not backwards compatible, it uses vb:raw tags which are only supported in vBulletin 4.x. We will release a vBulletin 3 version if we receive enough requests.

Installation
Upload all the contents within the Upload folder to your vBulletin forum root.

Adding the Custom BB Code
Login to your AdminCP -> Custom BB Codes -> Add New BB Code

i'm going to use it on http://codnation.net and http://toxicsuburbia.com if you want a demo go there guys. I'll edit this post with a link soon. Thanks syrus, this is awesome!

I forgot the demonstration link... oops! Added now..

I like it, but it does not have a position bar. Example, listening to a Podcast and you stop and want to go back where you left off another day. This mod is "go" "pause" or "start over" no in between.

Hope I made sense :rolleyes:

I did not add the 'scrubber' function only because people on vbulletin.com wanted a simple mp3 player for vBulletin 4.0. I will add one in a future update, if there is enough interest. :)

You got my vote :) :) :)

Just put this in to check it out & my test thread is blank.

http://www.halforums.com/forum/showt...-New-Music-Mod

We see the button and also the placeholder in IE but I got nothing else.

And I vote for a scrubber bar also.

I want to use this for podcasts and without a scrubber listening to an hour long podcast leaves no room for glitches.

Very cool, thanks.

Hmmm... thats strange the vb raw tags are not being parsed correctly. A simple fix is to remove the following code in both instances:

Replace it with the full forum url, in your case it will be the following.

I'll check why this is happening, and apply a fix.

Ba da bing! That did it.

I figured it would be that but I didn't want to make assumptions and figured you'd want to know some people may have this issue.

Replace {vb:raw url} by your Forum Root domain name.

Thanks to work me I had to change the label
data="{vb:raw url}/mp3/concepta_mp3.swf" and
<param name="movie" value="{vb:raw url}/mp3/concepta_mp3.swf">
for the full url
data="http://www.mydomain.com/mp3/concepta_mp3.swf" and
<param name="movie" value="http://www.mydomain.com/mp3/concepta_mp3.swf">

Hi, can you add the support of few other audio formats like .rm, .wma, .pls

[QUOTE = Edrondol; 1982931] Sólo hay que poner esto para probarlo y mi hilo prueba está en blanco.

Vemos el botón y también el marcador de posición en IE pero no tengo nada más. [/ QUOTE]

Replace {vb:raw url} by ".", a point of no more

Interesting. That's a handy tip, too!

Alittle off topic, but is there a chance you'll be releasing something similar to the original Xeon player. My users loved the pop-out window, so they could surf the forums while still listening to music, and they loved the large playlist that was available of 500 tracks.

I'd love to see something for 4.0 in that fashion.

That was one product that was very popular and will be ported over to vBulletin 4.0, once we have a more stable release. Since we have updated all our engine coding you can expect the final new release to be much better than the original. It will be available in 3 variations, popup, widget and on its own page.

:cool:

Great to hear it, and I look forward to it's release. Thanks for the quick responce and the great work you do.

Merci pour ce hack !!!! :up:

plus one!

i dont think .pls will be possible, but i hope to see realplayer, wma, etc support! :D

Do I need to have a url to a mp3, or can I simplu upload a mp3 in the post and let it stream that one?

You need the URL.

Okay, since I have had quite a few PM's to enhance this mod further. I will be coding another player, same style but much more versatile.

Someone suggested adding a playlist, even though this is possible it would not work within BB Code, therefore a further popup player will be designed. With a similar glass look, and t will have it's own admincp, with unlimited playlists, external or internal track selection, cover artwork and much more.

[QUOTE = syrus.xl; 1983148] Bueno, este mod ya he tenido bastante PM Pocos Para mejorar aun m?s. Ser? codificaci?n de otro jugador, mismo estilo pero mucho m?s vers?til.

Alguien sugiri? agregar una lista de reproducci?n, Aunque es posible que no funcionar?a Dentro de BB Code, por lo tanto un jugador m?s emergente Ser? dise?ado. Con una mirada de cristal similares, y T Tendr? su propia AdminCP, con listas de reproducci?n ilimitadas, selecci?n de pistas externas o internas, la car?tula y mucho m?s. [/ QUOTE]


:up:

Play list from our own server would be fantastic, since we do Podcasts. Such as "10 Latest Podcasts" :) :) :)

Nice work and look forward to the enhanced mod :) :) :)

since you are developing a new mp3 player I have a few requests you can consider.
when makin a thread instead of using bbcode and regular attachment, it says upload track(s).
then I can upload either 1 or more tracks, and choose if I want the users to be able to download it or just stream it.
in admin panel I can view how many times it has been played and downloaded etc.
This is a mod I would gladly spend money on.

And be able to block it from being downloaded so we don't run afoul of the RIAA.

AND (because we are being all up in your face now) the ability for people to make and post their own playlists.

Yeah! That's the ticket! And I'd be willing to pay also.

Does it have the ability to automatically start the player when someone creates a post?

Say I created a new thread and wanted the music to automatically start when someone views the thread, is this possible? Or will users always have to click the play button if they want to hear it? Thanks in advance.

Scrubber!

Won't work for me. I replaced the two raw URL's with my site URL and still nothing.

Says this in the player title bar, without the quotes: "music<font face="

You mean autoPlay on page load, this can be done but not with this version, I would need to upload an updated version to actually do that. Not many people want mp3's playing as soon as a page loads. But it could be an option and passed to the flash mp3 player.

This means you have placed either additional bb code within the mp3 tags, or your direct mp3 url is incorrect.

:D !

Okay, I now have this one uninstalled but tagged for when the additions get made (playlists, etc.) I found this one and it allows already for picking where in the MP3 you want to listen.

But that one doesn't stream so it's a bit slower, it doesn't show the name of the MP3 before you play it and it is very, very basic.

I can't wait for this to have a Pro version and will be switching back then.

works now. Thanks.

Hi,

I should have the player update within a few days, maybe sooner. I have coded in the 'scrubber' as requested by many. It also has Pan, Volume, track length and a few extra buttons. Obviously, to get all this to fit in I had to make the player slightly bigger.

looks great this does..tagged for future use..thanks for making this mod mate
