My thanks to Link for his one on one time in building the install files for the VB Jukebox

General Features

* The ability to play audio and movie formats - The script will detect both .mpg or .mpeg files and open the media player. If an audio format is played then the media player will stay invisable.

Admin Features

* Upload songs from your browser.
* Unlimited genres.
* Manual data entery for when the uploader fails or for large files.
* At a click will automaticly generate a new thread announcing a song in the jukebox.

* Usergroup permissions for:
--> 1) Who can listen to songs.
--> 2) Who can upload songs.
--> 3) Who can rate songs.

Front End Features

*Members can upload songs, these songs are not available in the jukebox until admin aproval (optional email notification available).
* Callapsable genres (only displays genres that have active songs in them).
* Members can rate songs.

Future Possible Functions

* members favs, this will allow members to add songs to their own favs list and if i can work it out i will try to make it so they can play their favs from start to finish.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOTE SONG HOSTING

OPTION 1

In the admin options where it asks for the folder name enter the full path to the where the songs are stored eg "www.something.com/music folder" NO backslash after.
The Downside to this is that your members canrt upload or add songs to the jukebox and movie files will not work.

OPTION 2
In vb_jukebox.php find each instance of

PHP Code:

$playsong = "$vboptions[jb_media_folder]/$playthisong 


replace with

PHP Code:

$playsong = "$playthisong" 


Then enter the full url into the song file field for each song.

The downside to this is you cant play movie files and all songs have to be put in the host server.

NO it wont work as described above

I tried 1, 1000, and 1000000 and still could not upload a file that was 500Kb. I have my php.ini file set to upload up to 20M so that is not an issue. Could the way VB changed the way they are doing their sessions in 3.0.6 be a cause of my problems? Please advise.

i dout it .... i think there may be other issues involved ... however i added the manual data enter for large files etc ... although is ok for you to upload with ftp, it dosnt help your members.

I only tested the uploader with midi files

Well, as I sit here playing with it, it is not letting me know of any of the phrases that are put in. Like when I upload and it is successful, it does not let me know that it is successful. Or when it is the same file, it does not let me know that.

[trafix]

If you have set in your admincp options to "no redirection" then you wont see it and will go back to the same screen .... maybe i should change them to stop messages instead of redirection messages as most admin will turn off redirection messages

[Zaeolos]

Yep, you hit the nail on the head. I had my redirects turned off. I didn't even think about that. I am really liking this hack. There are just a few more things I am having trouble with. The main thing right now is that I can't seem to make the Max File Size option work for me. I want to restrict the file size to 10MB. I have already tested uploading a 10MB file and it works when the option is set to zero, but if I change it from zero, I cannot upload anything.

[trafix]

immm interesting i will have to look into it further when i get a chance

[Zaeolos]

Not a big deal, I know you are busy. One thing to think about also as an option would be to give the user the ability to choose multiple songs either as a play list or maybe a check box on the side to choose all the songs they want and then a play button to start it. Just an idea...

I upgraded to your latest version and now it does not work. I can install songs via the admin panel, they show up in the jukebox but none play. Also the links on the bottom of the jukebox dont work as well.
