Change the javascript that you add in the navbar to:

<!--
function openRadioStations(){
radioStationsWindow = window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/radiostations.php', 'radiostations', 'directories=no,height=500,width=700,location=no,m enubar=no,resizable=yes,status=no,scrollbars=yes,t oolbar=no');
}
//-->
</script>

and leave the link as:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="javascriptpenRadioStations()">$vbphrase[rs_radiostations]</a></td>

that is how the hack should be written anyway, IMO - more compliant vb coding that way

Is there any gain by doing it like that?

If you guys want a flash media player incorporated in this mod give me a link to the best one, and preferably some stuff to read about them so I can chew on. If it's good enough I might consider adding it to the list of optional players.

Like, what formats do they play, if they play streams, the embed code etc.

I'll be working on a new version this weekend.

that makes the hack more vb-friendly, so other hacks and add-ons like vbadvanced work smoothly. If the navbar link is written as you suggest then when viewed on the vbadvanced index page the link does not work, unless you make the changes I suggested.

Hi Dream your script works fine on my CMPS index page.

Thanks for the time you take on developing these products.
Also an even bigger thanks for your patience in answering these posts ;-)

[Dream]

You are welcome glad it works for you.

Yes that could work, you would lose compatibility with Windows Media Player though, and would only be able to play Real Player streams.

Dream it could not work with me

The JW FLV Player (built with Adobe's Flash) can be used standalone, without the need for the Flash authoring tool. The player allows you to show your videos more controlled and to a broader audience than with Quicktime, Windows Media or Real Media. It supports playback of a single Flash video file, RTMP streams or RSS, XSPF and ATOM playlists (with advertisement possibilities), a wide range of flashvars (settings) for tweaking both behavior and appearance and an extensive, documented javascript/actionscript API. The example above shows a feed with clips recently added to Blip.tv.

make sure you have the RealPlayer installed on your computer. You can also use "Real Alternative" which is not as bulky or as pesky as the RealPlayer:

It didn't on mine, which is why I suggested the changes.
