Playing Windows Media Files Inline Using Plugin

This just an upgrade over from my existing hack HERE
to use plugin system for vb3.5 gold


What this hack does::

This hack allows your users to upload media files via your board file management and play the media fields within their post.. It is adivisable to have one inline per post.


Foreword:

This hack might not work on all system due to different configuration, platform, and such. I will try to help you all as much as I can.

This hack will use your board attachment system to run mp3, wma, wmv, flash files. It is a bit server intensive. So be warned

Security Risk:

It has been known that flash files can be used to exploit and compromise certain securities on user computer. You might want to verify your flash attachment before enable flash playing inline on your forum.

Demo











If you use this hack please click install.


As christianb mentioned in the other post, you might need to setup attachement types for your forum to play properly.



Use the following for your types

WMA ?  Content-type: audio/x-ms-wma
WMV ?  Content-type: video/x-ms-wmv
MP3  ?  Content-type: audio/x-mp3
SWF ?  Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash
AVI  ?  Content-type: video/x-ms-avi
MOV ?  Content-type: video/quicktime
MP4 ? Content-type: video/quicktime
MPEG ?  Content-type: video/mpeg
MPG ?  Content-type: video/mpeg
RAM ?  Content-type: audio/x-pn-realaudio
RM ?  Content-type: audio/x-pn-realaudio
SWC ?  Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash

NOTE: This hack use your board attachment.php to play those specified media files. Therefore, you will have to set up user right to download attachement in under forum permissions.

Uhmmm I don't think the current vB attachment system can do that. You will need a separate hack for it. :nervous:

[croportal]

on my site if you click the attachement link to save it or download it it just gives a php file or scambled text, I want them to be able to download it too.. how can I fix that? it not linking to the file...

After you modify the template, you are good to go. Your member can upload and listen to music inline if they have permission. This hack is tied to your attachment's permission

Can you set that extension to open the same window? I don't have a definite answer for this one because I have the same problem on my site.
