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.

ok im grasping at straws ... "tmp" is used in server configuration ...... try creating a new folder with a different name and see if that makes a difference

[trafix]

hmmm, maybe it has something to do with the server settings cos i get the same error

maybe shoot off an email to your host tech

Will do. Thanks again for your help.

[trafix]

is anybody else getting upload errors?

[Zaeolos]

Can you explain the changes from v2.1 to v2.2 or how to quickly upgrade without reinstalling the entire hack?

[trafix]

the only change is some coding in the vb_jukebox.php file. only about 6 lines that stop the media player opening as a tall narrow strip

[yahoooh]

i have suggestion for your hack
i look for visual/audio station to my site which like this idea:
upload all media to specific folder
then make live show by your site ,just people go to jukeshow.php then this script will begin with the media but it is be timed by your server
in admen panel , admin put times to begis the show and make the file play file number 1 and then file number 2 and then file number 3 so on
after it finish it will repeat or just stop

it is like tv or radio staion on the net by your site and it be good to make it daily or weekly or monthly changed

i hope this idea be done

Trafix, this was the response from my most excellent hosting company (alphaomegahosting.com):

I am going to add /var/tmp to your open_basedir directive to see if that takes care of the problem, though I'm still perplexed and wondering "why?" just like you are. Again, I don't understand what's broken. Like you posted at the forum, you can upload avatars, which the developer said used the same engine (or something like that... it's been a while since I read it) and even he seems to be confused about what is going on here.

Anyway, lets see what happens with this addition.

That fixed it!!! No more restriction errors.
Thanks again for your superb support of this hack and I hope this info will be a help to anyone else who might run into the same problem.
