This hack will add a whole new dimention to your forums with a Jukebox

3 file edit
1 template edit
1 new db table
1 db table alteration

This hack uses and includes a copy of the [HIS] Hack Installer System (Build 3)
released by Link14716 and can be found here --> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71542
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.

i'm not an expert on copyright laws and protection, but i've been in the entertainment world here in wollyhood for over 10 years and this is what i think (only worth $.02).

trafix has coded a jukebox, not unlike a person's own personal walkman. how they get their music that goes into their walkman is outside the jurisdiction of the walkman.

therefore, as long as trafix doesn't offer/promote a way to trade copyrighted songs, i think the legalities are fine.

Thanks, installed successfully.

Just wondering, how compatible is this with streaming videos aswell? I run a wrestling forum and the idea of being able to stream matches via the jukebox is very appealing. Are there any specific file formats that will work so that the users can see video aswell?

Yep .... easy .... add your mpeg files and in the jb_JUKEBOX template find the media embedding tag and add a hight and width to it and thats all you need to do i think

No conflicts except with "who was online in last 24 hour" modification.. I don't know if this was a conflict with jukebox and that mod or not, but after installing jukebox it is not showing the members usernames that have visited

Also there is TABLE tag that has not been closed.. view http://digitalmental.com/bb/vb_jukebox.php for refrence, bottom of the page..

Other than those minor things A+
