It almost seems as if wimpy can't find the file, but I look in the source code of the pop-up that plays the jukebox and the file path seems to be correct.

I had this problem before when I set it up, but figured it out. I think it has something to do with file paths, but I can't remember.

any thoughts?

Wimpy's a bit sensitive to the characters in the url it plays. Try editing the wimpy plugin to read as follows:

$sltype = strtolower($type);
if ($sltype=='mp3' or $sltype=='swf' or $sltype=='flv') {

// Either use this...
	$wimpy_url = "local_stream.php?action=stream&id=".$linkid;
// Or just use this (will not work if you have set local_file_root/local_file_root_prefix) ...
//	$wimpy_url = $url;

	$wimpy_url = urlencode($wimpy_url);
	$player = "Wimpy";

}

You can also try the attached plugin, which launches the wimpy button instead of the main player (you'll need to put the wimpy_button.swf into your getid3 directory)

Concerning the text in the wimpy window, I'm still looking into thtis. The main javascript toolkit that the wimpy people provide does not interpret the id3 info correctly.
