Add-On Releases - Radio and TV Player 3.8.x

Mark this thread as installed only if you want to receive important update notifications by email.

This will add a fully featured Radio and TV Streaming Player with stations library to your forum.

Features:
- Users can add / delete / edit own stations (controlled by usergroup permissions)
- Users can have a favorite stations list
- Report broken / duplicate stations links
- Totally coded in AJAX (no page reloads)
- Plays Windows Media Player, Real Player and Quicktime streams
- Shows user's favorites and last played station in profile page
- and much more...

Installation is easy. You need to upload some files, import a product, import the default stations (if you wish) and make only two manual navbar template edits, one for the popup link and another for the javascript that opens the popup. This is optional and the link can be put elsewhere, just remember to also add the javascript on the same page.

This mod is "Re-usable Code", meaning you can modify and release your modified version.

You are responsible for the streams you add to your website. The mod author doesn't take responsibility for possible copyright infringements in some countries by using some stations.

Arabic and Chinese don't work with Ajax, so this mod won't work, sorry.

This mod took roughly two weeks to code, so it should be somewhat good and bug free

What php version are you using?

glad to hear your creating a vb 4.0 version!

is it possible to place a video box within the header area and everytime they change a page the header+video box never has to refresh, just everything under the navbar SO the video will still be playing or no?

[vividbreeze]

ah i see i have to add a streaming URL, what if I wanted to just add my own *.mpg/flv/etc files in a que? Or setup a few youtube/motionbox/other media places urls in order?

[Dream]

Version for vb4 will let you add players, so you can add anything then.

Not refreshing the video is non doable, would need to rewrite the software to load everything in AJAX, which would be bad for SEO and everything else.

This is what I was looking for. Anyway for the 'random' station played when launched be pulled from the user's favorites list?

Also, is there a way to limit certain stations to certain usergroups? For example: Premium users get access to all stations, but regular members get access to one per category.

Sorry not right now, and it's likely this version won't be updated in favor of the vB4 version which I plan to make in Feb. I'll put your suggestions on my to do list for it.

Btw, on the new version I plan to make an exporter which will export your whole info, then you have to uninstall the mod, reinstall and import all the info. You guys won't lose anything.

Also categories will be turned in tags, which can be used multiple ones for one station. For example, one station could have the tags "radio" and "rock" for instance.

Sounds good Dream.

By the way, where do I edit to add some Google Adsense within the 'popup window'?

I looked through this thread for anything regarding Adsense, but didn't find it. I'm off to look through your old versions of this mod to see if anyone already suggested it :up:

Edited: Just found this mod here for some suggestions on Adsense placement .... https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=171412

Edited 2: Is it true that we cannot have the popup window working from the vBadvanced page?
