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 have a really stupid question. I will likely be shot for this but....what am i doing wrong:
I get this error:
The jukebox is currently turned off!
Home

I've set the permisions for the groups, and there is only one option under the Jukebox admin area:
vB Jukebox

Track List
and there is nothing in there to "turn it on"

I must be a dumbass, someone enlighten me lol.

Hey!! Imagine that! if you read the readme it says you have to edit VB options area. Wow. Thats AMAZING!

[trafix]

So does that means its working now?

[hXc Radio]

Does this support files in mp3 format or only mpeg?

[trafix]

... the moto is

"If it plays in the media player it will play in the jukebox"

mp3 - wav - midi - mpeg - mpg etc

ok i'm about ready to install this! two last questions...

1) can it do something like this... http://www.frankyandminx.com/fmv3/topframelogo.htm start with a play list and play all songs rather then one and waiting for the next.. almost like a radio stream I guess..

2) can the MP3s be stored outside of the public folder and still work... like say /home/user/mp3s/file.mp3 instead of /home/user/www/mp3s/file.mp3 preventing someone from finding the folder and illegally downloading MP3s?

1) ... i have been trying to work out how to do this. The link you provided is using a flash file to do the playlist.

2) ... see remote song hosting in the first post, as long as the relative path is entered it should work.

[tanyeri24]

a demo jukebox to see it in action?

Will this work fine with vB3.0.7?
