[high]External Data Pull[/high]
This modification is designed to pull data from internal and external servers. Check that you enter full urls to pull external data or the modification will fail to read.

[high]Features:[/high]

• Can hold upto 500 mp3 tracks (5 playlists with 100 tracks in each)
• Automatically cuts off access to playlists if 100 tracks are reached
• All track data held in database
• Volume & Pan(balance) Controls
• Add mp3's through AdminCP or via Popup
• PM system notifcation of new tracks submitted
• Edit/Delete/Approve/Deny tracks via AdminCP
• Usergroup Permissions for adding tracks and viewing of player
• Multi-functional display on mp3 player
• WOL Enabled - see who's using the mp3 player
• Stream and Buffer parameters per track

This version is not compatible with the XML driven vbMp3 Player I released awhile ago (you may uninstall or leave in, as this version uses renamed files). The player, and all code have been changed, and now fully utilizes the vBulletin AdminCP for settings, mp3 playlist management, usergroup permissions.

[high]Known Issues:[/high]
None

UPDATING:
Overwrite all files with the new package XEON Mp3 Player v4.0.0
Import the Product XML file using the vBulletin Product Manager. Go to Mp3 Player Management and update settings and Save.

Template edit:
(required on new install or upgrade, unless you have installed other products from us.).
In the headinclude template -
Find:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>

Above add:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/flashobject.js"></script>

If this line of code already exists then DO NOT ADD IT!

End of Update


MAIN INSTALLATION

Installation:
Upload the contents of the ?Upload folder? to your forum root. Import the ?product-mp3player.xml? file via ?Plugins & Products? ? Manage Products ? Import Product in your AdminCP. Press F5 or refresh your browser window to view the Mp3 Player Management menu. Once you install this version make sure you Update the MP3 Management settings and click SAVE, failure to do so will result in an error if you enable the custom PM notification system.

Template Edits:
These edits are based on the default vBulletin style, you may need to change if you have a custom style.


AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates -> navbar

Find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

After add:

<!-- Mp3 Player Launch -->
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="javascript:NewWindow=window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/mp3playerindex.php?do=viewmp3playerpopup','newWin','width=500,height=500,left=0,top=0, toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=1,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');
NewWindow.focus(); void(0);">vbMp3 Player</a></td>
</if>
<!-- End Mp3 Player Launch -->

Now, navigate to AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager ? adjust usergroups permissions as required. Default is all usergroups have no access.

You now have the vbMp3 XEON player installed!

[high]Update notifications can only be sent out if you have clicked 'INSTALL'.[/high]

More players will available shortly.

Enjoy!

Ths is a great Mod. Installed it yesterday, spent a few hours today converting and uploading 60+ songs.
It was working great, my members were loving it, then wallop. The MP3 directory on my websapce dsappeared!

I can't think of any other explanation other than my ISP deleted it (ICDSoft).
Anybody else had this problem? Is t common?

I just looked at your Web Hosts Terms of Use policy, they do not allow mp3 files on their servers. Strange, for any hosting company - because that means you can't even use your own material in mp3 format either.

Personally, I don't store mp3's on my server - they are hosted in another country. Laws and use of mp3's vary from country to country.

Hi,

Have you uploaded any mp3's to link to yet? Once you have done this then you can put the link in to the mp3 player.

Is the flash player file located in the root of your forums? That error will appear if the code cannot find the flash file (swf).

Thanks for the swift reply syrus.

Thats a shame! The server I am on with them is in Hong Kong too! I used to have the old Jukebox on another of my websites for over a year with no problem (same host) but I've just remembered that I converted all of the files to .wma format.

You couldn't possibly PM me with any links to mp3's could you? I spent some time earlier looking but drew a blank.

Thanks

I must be missing something!

Can't wait to try this mod out but I cannot seem to find where you give the users access to it. I have followed the install instructions but the line that says "Now, navigate to AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager – adjust usergroups permissions as required. Default is all usergroups have no access." doesn't seem to take me anywhere where I can turn the access rights on.

Anyone got any ideas?
