AV vB Jukebox Feedback
 

The jukebox has quite a few installs now :)

Id love to here some feedback from your members!

Aren't you worried that the 'authorities' will find this hack and close down vbUlletin.org for distributing software which encourages piracy?
I don't want to rain on your parade but it's illegal to distribute the files, isn't it?

?? :rolleyes:

all songs could be played without refresing the page, I thing it's better to add that feature in.

I do not install this hack so it's just that for now.

Ummm what are you talking about ..... there is NOTHING illegal about the hack and the 'authorities' cant close down vbUlletin.org nor prosicute me. I just coded the hack, I have not included any media files and i have included copyright warnings in the readme ........ I cant control what media the end user uploads.

In most countries it is illegal to do drugs .... but then you can walk into many shops and buy bongs, suringes, teaspoons, lighters .... do you think the manifacturer of those items should be closed down????? So you arnt in any way raining on my parade!!



ANYWAY, this thread was ment for ppl who have the jukebox installed to post feedback / comments from their members

Jeeees thats the pot calling the kettle black! ... i thought downloading movies etc was illegal? I just visited your forums ..... i think you are the one that may need to worry, I did many searches for many for topics that point to 'threads which encourages piracy' including "bit torrent", dont you even know what goes on within your own forum???

Yes I know that bit torrent sowtware is not illegal (just like the jukebox) but you can bet that 99% of the material that is downloaded with it, is!

Just my 5c

it is excellent at the moment. if you can make it, for every song upload a member upload, the member will earn forum cash and every download cost a certain forum cash... it will be better !

I know it has been suggested umpteen times before, but it would be nice to have the option to have playlists. I would also like to have the option to add a song or movie file that is played before the first selection in a playlist, so the admin can add a small bit of audio/video info relating to the site. Kind of like "You are listening to vBradio at www.mysite.com" and then on to the first selection, and then have it play the selected songs without playing that intro bit again. Do you see what I am saying? No coffee yet today so I am a bit groggy :)

Spinball does make sense, trafix, but not at all, you're right and everyone knows that but just stay calm. I've also published my jukebox it supports for "illegal" even more than yours but I know, Window Media Player doesn't even know and wasn't supposed to play illegal music, right ?

All of my mp3's are linked remotely directly to the artist so there is NOTHING illegal about my site :) The notion that this hack is in itself illegal is silly, since it is up to the admin to decide the content of the site. There ARE such things as LEGAL mp3's and videos!

Whoa! Don't go getting your knickers in a twist!
I wouldn't have commented if I hadn't been interested in the hack as a good candidate to add useful functionality for the AV Forums.
The reason why I commented is because while personally I would love to use your hack, we don't allow the promotion of piracy on the AV Forums and so I wouldn't install your hack because it does encourage piracy.
No need to get all defensive - I was just pointing out something which nobody else seemed to have noticed.
If any relatively successful forum were allowing distribution of copyright music via your hack, they would likely be contacted by the 'authorities'.

Sorry i took it the wrong way, but its not the first time that this allergation has been made.

The jukebox hack is perfectly legal and it is also perfectly legal to load it with .midi files .... but i cant govern what is uploaded to each instillation.

Yes granted that there are issues with uploading commercial files, but the admin of the site gets the fall if they dont get propper permission to use them.

I have a Guitar site using it and it is for members to upload their ORIGINAL recordings and this is also legal ...... as for others sites, i dont know whats been uploaded or what permissions they have to use them.

Well, lets see...my members as well as I would like to see:

Playlists
Shuffle
Repeat One
Repeat All
being able to give goodies for uploading (vcash, ucash, etc)

So far we love the hack!!!!

first of all i checked out your site... nice tracks, but man you're missing some classic diss tracks.

now to my conflict... ok so i installed this hack, but... my videos dont play, uploaded wmv and mpg but both only play directly in the browser, and all you get is the audio to it, without the video visual... is it possible to have the files play in windows media player, or whatever other defeault media player the user is usually using?

My site is a personal mp3 sharing site where users create their own songs and upload them, I have looked this mod over but it doesn't appear that it can read from the attachments (unless I missed that) or I would use it. We have thousands of songs so you can see why reading it from the attachments would be ideal in my situation. :)

This can be easily changed via some template edit, even more.

AV vB Jukebox is one great hack, yet it still lacks of lots of functionalities.
I've been working on a multimedia project, vb MusicBox, the idea is pretty much the same as of IPB Musicbox.

have you checked this: http://www.cafebanbe.net/jukebox.php ?

that's an amazing one too. It's too bad that lots of coders don't share their scripts (I know lots of my Viet fellas don't) so here i started it off from the ground.

well I can't share it because it's a paid script that was requested here by Amavisca, unless I have her permissions then it would not be available here, only her site and mine. She did mention that she want his like an unique for her site.

anyways I did upgrade it to 1.0.2 which is mostly like launch.yahoo.com , she is running 1.0.2 but some functions were disabled.

That's cool. :cool: Glad to see someone had done it before me thou. :)
I wish vb Jukebox has all those features. I looked at the script, and it's a little too simple.

well as I said it is more complicated in the full functions version, the problem that the link above removed them because of ****** problem, as Yahoo Launch I used iframe to update songs info.

no, i was talking about current release of vb jukebox on vb.org. yours looks very fine.

tnguy3n, you are developing a vb3 jukebox if you need any help just call me

well call me stupid but i seriously wouldn't know how too... if anybody would be willing to help me out here i'd be more then greatful.

in jukebox templates find something like this:

<object

and look for width= , height= . Change those value to the width and height of the player, if the player appears in the far left top of your screen then once again you need to move it to somewhere else, move what thing ? whatever between <object and </object> tags.

I've never installed this hack so this is just what I think you should. In case you don't know how I can do it for you with an account and a link to your board.

well that would be this code then:

the thing is it is empedded but the videos dont show at all. and i dont even want it to show up on the page, it would be better if it would just open up windows media player itself and then play the video files. can you help me do that?

it's impossible to force it to open WMP and play the video. when embeded it's just like you open WMP but automatically and in a html page, you can view fullscreen so it's just WMP itself.

well that sucks for me then, since for whatever reason my videos dont even show up on the page.

REPLACE:

WITH:

let me know if this works

damn, thanks alot, looks like it works now, but the media it's trying to load is http://www.correctlink.com/filename.mpg'

it puts that ' at the end of the filename, and therefore cant find the clip.

sorry was sleepy, please remake the change above (revert the template and make changes)

yeaaah! thank you so much. i owe you one... everything works fine now.

no problem.

I like the VB Jukebox, however alot of mac users don't. I would like to make the imbedded plugin Quicktime instead. Also it would be nice to see a function where when you rate the song you can put in a comment.

Thanks

Adam

If U can't see the video , I think U can do this hack .
in vb_jukebox.php , find

if ($fext == "mpg" or $fext == "mpeg")
{
$viewheight = "290";
$viewwidth = "320";
}
else

{
$viewheight = "0";
$viewwidth = "0";
}
U can chance the number of

{
$viewheight = "0";
$viewwidth = "0";
}
to the number U want , like
{
$viewheight = "290";
$viewwidth = "390";
}

@xbaby that was solved 2 months ago, needless to hack any php code.

there is nothing illegal in this hack...

The mod gives me an error when I try to install, it always gives me unexpected t_string in mod_files.php or whatever it is when I try to do the templates.

Also, every time I try and upload a song, it says "Please complete the required fields. When I've filled everything out.

I install but still can not upload music

I have had mine installed for quite a while now. My members really love this hack. Now, all of a sudden when you click on jukebox it takes you to a blank white page.
