* At a click will automaticly generate a new thread announcing a song in the jukebox.

* Usergroup permissions for:

--> 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.

Wootness .....well done!

Ok trafix, I have cut my jukebox on for members & guests so you can see whats going on here..

http://digitalmental.com/bb/vb_jukebox.php

Nothing is playing, I have chmodded and added the audio files correctly, they are also linked correctly through the vb jukebox admin..

The songs did play fine until I tried to update to the newest version.. can you explain how to uninstall completely, so I can do a fresh reinstall? maybe that will help my problem. I don't know.. i'm also experiencing "-" negative plays...

Any help would be greatly appreciated as your hack is a very valuable asset to my forum considering we are MUSIC related.. the first release worked fine and I'm figuring I messed something up trying to update to the current version..

[trafix]

the path to the songs are correct

ok .... i tried to play the songs direct from your media folder and i had to download the entire song before it would play. i think that the file extension is reaking havoc here being a .wma ... have you tried uploading an mp3 or midi file?

what did you upload from v2.1 - v2.2 .... if so there shouldnt be a problem

[WiseOwl]

Ok I removed alot of those wma's that were huge, all the songs under the "commercial" genre now are wma's that average around 4mb's a piece... all the songs under the other genre's are mp3 format..

I'am still not getting any sound out of clicking on any of the links.. are you? as far as what I uploaded to the new version.. I followed the intructions step by step.. uploaded all the necessary files.. can't recall right off hand i'd have to go take a peek..

[trafix]

yep .... when you perform a manual data entey you any enter the name of the filename of the mp3 ... dont include the path.

also what have you got in the vb jukebox options "media file"

[WiseOwl]

I don't enter the path when I do the manual entry, my "media file" or "media folder" ?????

the folder is listed as "http://www.hiphop.org/audio/rotation/" should it be listed as /home/****/****/audio/rotation/ ????

PS: It still says version 1.2 at the bottom ???

[trafix]

hmmm, im confused when i go to play an mp3 file direct from the folder ... i get the same as the wma's ... i have to download them before i play them ...... it should automaticly open the media player and start playing ..... has something changed with your server settings?
