BB Code Enhancements - Embed MP3 in post using flash player

This is somthing I created rather quickly because I wanted somthing small and effective for streaming MP3's in a post. I was searching the net for a nice small MP3 player to embed into a post and I found a nice FREE one over at 1pixelout.net. I did NOT create the player, I only created the BB code for this hack.

This takes about 2 minutes to prepare and get working.

Follow these steps

1. Download the Audio Player here http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-...ugin/#examples

2. Unzip and upload the files for the player to your host.

3. Add new BB code with the following information

Title: FlashPlayer

Tag: mp3

Replacement:

<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.yourhost.com.com/audio/audio-player.js"></script>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.yourhost.com/audio/player.swf" id="audioplayer4" height="24" width="290">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.yourhost.com/audio/player.swf">
<param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=4&amp;soundFile={param}">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>

Keep in mind this replacement code must match the location where you uploaded the audio player on your host.

Example: [mp3]http://www.hd-trailers.org/song.mp3[/mp3] *"http://" must be added for this to work properly.

Use Option: No

Button Image: See attachment

How to use: Simply find a link to an mp3 file and wrap the tags around it! That's it!


BE SURE TO CLICK INSTALLED

hi all,
is possible to create an direct upload field that allow the users to upload all the mp3 files in the forum's host?

If yes, how can i do for do this?

[mikkitine]

Is there something that must be done in order to get the mp3 titles to appear within the player?

[elmati]

the player take the title from ID3 tag

[mikkitine]

The songs I am testing have ID3 tags but the song titles are not being displayed in the player. Do the songs need to have a certain version of ID3 tags for this to work? Or could it be something else?

[elmati]

try adding same information in ID3v1 and ID3v2. I don't remember wich is required for this player...

noobee questions here:
-Do I download to the root?
-And when you say:

3. Add new BB code with the following information

Where do I do that? ADD the new bb code?
I have some podcasts I want to put on my forum that I made on Talkshoe. Of course they are downloaded in MP3. I will upload them to my server and link from there. I want people to be able to listen to each one without going to talkshoe.
Each mp3 would have it's own thread.
Thanks,
Mark

Ok, I got this going. I get the interface...but with any mp3 when I click the play button all I get is buffering.......it never plays..on any host/server.
Any ideas?

Great mod. Thanks for sharing.

Would you be willing to modify this as a User Profile Field? This way, whenever someone visits a user's profile, they can set this as the music that also loads.

That would be awesome!

Ok. I just realized that this is a problem with my Firefox browser. It works great in IE.
Any suggestions?
