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'.
