This mod is "Re-usable Code", meaning you can modify it and release your own 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 and with some stations.

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

Can someone tell me what resources this mod would use in terms of your own hosting and if say a user was listening to the radio what would their own traffic use be say per minute - thanks if you can help!

[Dream]

If you host a station? Not sure. If not, the resources used would be from the station's server.

As I suspected Dream - thanks a lot

Just wanted to make sure that if I have say 50 users all listening to the radio that it wouldn't slow my forums down

Can anyone suggest how, and if possible, that the link in the navbar to the Radio and TV Player can be done in a way to force it to be opened in IE - this may be an interim solution to the Firefox changing channels problem

I've been looking at this modification a few times today, not for my vBulletin but a clients.

I have one question though, surely you cannot add just any stream without the permission from either the radio or tv stations in question. I know some stations here in the UK do not permit use of such modifications, and block IP's after awhile from websites using their bandwidth.

Many sites now go to extreme lengths to ensure their content is not streamed to other websites.

I am designing something similar to this modification, however the modification is perfectly legal, and is being backed by a large Canadian company.

What's the question exactly?

This modification is legal, the forum owner has the responsibility over the streams added to his forum.

The main question is this:

Laws and legal issues arise with any type of modification that can or could infringe copyright laws of certain countries, this does apply to the UK - not too sure about the USA though. If authorization is granted from the source then obviously you can use their streams.

Personally, I would add a disclaimer so people know that they are responsible for the streams they add to their forums. I had the same problem with a few modifications of mine.
