Version: 3.0 XEON Player (Shuffle disabled) *Player Only Package* added.

Fully compatible and tested on vBulletin 3.6.0, 3.7 and up.

No example tracks are included in this version.

*IMPORTANT: About version 3.6!!*
If you have installed this modification prior to the latest version 3.6, it is recommended that you update to the latest version 3.6 immediately. Older versions contain a Security Hole in the admin section. All database errors have been fixed, special thanks to Code Monkey.

[high]External Data Pull[/high]
This modification is designed to pull data from internal and external servers. Check that you enter full urls to pull external data or the modification will fail to read.

[high]Features:[/high]

• Can hold upto 500 mp3 tracks (5 playlists with 100 tracks in each)
• Automatically cuts off access to playlists if 100 tracks are reached
• All track data held in database
• Volume & Pan(balance) Controls
• Add mp3's through AdminCP or via Popup
• PM system notifcation of new tracks submitted
• Edit/Delete/Approve/Deny tracks via AdminCP
• Usergroup Permissions for adding tracks and viewing of player
• Multi-functional display on mp3 player
• WOL Enabled - see who's using the mp3 player
• Stream and Buffer parameters per track
• Track pre-loading on display

This version is not compatible with the XML driven vbMp3 Player I released awhile ago (you may uninstall or leave in, as this version uses renamed files). The player, and all code have been changed, and now fully utilizes the vBulletin AdminCP for settings, mp3 playlist management, usergroup permissions.

[high]Known Issues:[/high]
None

UPDATING:
Overwrite all files with the new package XEON Mp3 Player v4.0.0
Import the Product XML file using the vBulletin Product Manager. Go to Mp3 Player Management and update settings and Save.

Template edit:
(required on new install or upgrade, unless you have installed other products from us.).
In the headinclude template -
Find:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>

Above add:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/flashobject.js"></script>

If this line of code already exists then DO NOT ADD IT!

End of Update


MAIN INSTALLATION

Installation:
Upload the contents of the ?Upload folder? to your forum root. Import the ?product-mp3player.xml? file via ?Plugins & Products? ? Manage Products ? Import Product in your AdminCP. Press F5 or refresh your browser window to view the Mp3 Player Management menu. Once you install this version make sure you Update the MP3 Management settings and click SAVE, failure to do so will result in an error if you enable the custom PM notification system.

Template Edits:
These edits are based on the default vBulletin style, you may need to change if you have a custom style.


AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates -> navbar

Find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

After add:

<!-- Mp3 Player Launch -->
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="javascript:NewWindow=window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/mp3playerindex.php?do=viewmp3playerpopup','newWin','width=500,height=500,left=0,top=0, toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=1,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');
NewWindow.focus(); void(0);">vbMp3 Player</a></td>
</if>
<!-- End Mp3 Player Launch -->

Now, navigate to AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager ? adjust usergroups permissions as required. Default is all usergroups have no access.

You now have the vbMp3 XEON player installed!

[high]Update notifications can only be sent out if you have clicked 'INSTALL'.[/high]

More players will available shortly.

Enjoy!

Once you've extracted the files, your troubles are not quite over. You will need to go back on the net to upload the files thru ftp. So, disable Antivirus briefly while you do that, otherwise Nortons will delete that same file as you try to upload. Once you are finished with the file transfer to the server, you are all clear to re-activate Nortons AV.

I've had a discussion with Syrus XL on this. It is definitely NOT a virus, just a Norton's problem seeing just one file as one when it is not.

I think the real answer is to dump Nortons and get a proper AV system. There are better available - and some don't keep recharging you for what you've already paid for - grrr!

Best of luck. Incidentally, once I did the above it's all working just fine on my site. And it's a great mod well worth the trouble of setting it up.

Just a question to Syrus XL : Isn't it possible to rename that offending file?

Edit:
And a second question:Why did not pop up this problem earlier when the original player was unzipped?

If you guys don't mind, I was wondering what the answer to his edit is as well. Thanks!

I'm getting this as well, also with me I don't even see the player on the navbar until I click on a forum to read it(any forum), then I'll see it on the navbar and it takes me to this link. My zonealarm pop up unzipping this and said it clean a file, I didn't right it down but I closed down my zonealarm and unzipped it again and upload to the forum root directory like told.

I have three styles and I can see it on the default style on 3.6.2 forum default and takes me to this error I'm quoting.

The other two sytles I don't see it until I read the forum and then see it on the navbar. I have arcade install find, this is not working for me.

also what do I put in the URL if this is the reason?

I'll be updating the product XML later today, to rectify these problems. The images you have posted regarding Product version, etc are for 'live' version tracking. I didn't use these for a number of reasons, this mod is not specifically released just on vbulletin.org (which supports version tracking), but also a number of smaller sites. It is used to track if you have the latest version available from your ACP. So, both fields were left blank because it was released as a global modification.

Everything works perfectly except for when the people try to add MP3s ...

it says " Fatal error: Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vb_datamanager_pm in /includes/class_dm.php on line 763 "

What can I do to fix this ???

Ok I see, ok updated it and unzipped it again and this is what pop up with ZoneAlarm saying it clean a virus is it ok to continue without this file to make this work? I'm assuming Zonealarm just thinks this is a virus and is protecting me from any harm. What should I do allow this file with Zonealarm closed and then upload it to the server? It will only remove it again when it does it's daily search So I will have to do this when the virus with Zonealarm is turned off.

if i also wanted to embed this into my forum home what would be the code?
