I want to thank everyone who has supported the original release of this hack and for all the suggestions to make this hack even better
I have spent days on adding all these new features and would like to thank the people who have assisted me to get some of these function to work.

Its back after a long time

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.

Worked fine for me.

I changed this
if ($fext == "mpg" or $fext == "mpeg")
{
$viewheight = "290";
$viewwidth = "320";
}
else
{
$viewheight = "45";
$viewwidth = "230";
}
to
if ($fext == "wmv")
{
$viewheight = "290";
$viewwidth = "320";
}
else
{
$viewheight = "45";
$viewwidth = "230";
}
And when I uploaded *.wmv, it was shown as a movie formatl however, when I click to see it, I worked like an audio file, no images... Please help!

I figured it out already...

your site is tight.

I really want to install this but I need page 1, page 2 that long list is a killer. and is there a hack to have ftp uploads? that would be a solution to fix the upload php problem.

these two things are really prohibiting me.

You dont have to upload through the script you can goto manual entry and add the link manually and upload the song via FTP, thanks for the compliment, trying to fix this purchase feature, trafix get at me

Is there a way to play flash videos (swf) files? I have some music videos but they are .swf files. They are able to be uploaded but it only plays the audio and no video. Is it possible to change a piece of coding in VB Jukebox to make this work? Any help is appreciated.

[yahoooh]

is there unlimited categories with unlimited subcategories which has the same style and features like forum categories and subforum?

If it is supported by the media player.. it will play

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

So no, I don't believe it is

So far I have around 7 categories.. theres no limit set in the code.. so it should be unlimited.. but if you flood it with like thousands of categories.. that would be kinda pointless. how many do you need to create?

[WiseOwl]

Oh and Trafix, don't worry about my question(s) a few pages back, my friend and I are taking care of adding another "option/feature" to the jukebox.. besides the default "Rating, Song Format, Uploaded By, Requests" features.... check it
