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.

because when you manually add the file, you need to just add the 'song.mp3' part of it, not the entire link to your mp3 file.

that's what i came to figure out. i just upgraded to 3.5 and it's not working because of a 'globalize' error, but i really haven't looked into the code yet. i think it will work after editing the jukebox script a little. like i said, i havent looked yet, coming here is my first step cuz it's the easiest solution. :P

can anyone explain to me if it would screw things up as said in this topic? and how would i go about making sure it didnt screw things up if i installed.

Thanks guys

this hack worked fine for me when i upgraded to 3.0.7

you guys need to read the readme file. more than likely you're not going to be able to just 'upload' a song, you will HAVE to do it manually. follow THOSE directions already provided. that's how i got it to work. i also put a reply in this thread, i think on page 31, exactly what i had to do to get it to work.

as far as not hearing your songs being played, delete it and add it manually following my instructions. and no, im not the guy who made this hack, just a user that's had minimal problems.

hope i've helped ya'll out.

The hack installed perfectly, however i have a issue.

1. When I upload a song from the admin_cp it works fine, however when I try to upload a song from the user upload section it doesnt go into the folder. The folder is in my forums directory. ie www.blahblah.com/forum/midi and in the vboptions "media folder" i have it read midi.

It sits there uploading and then takes me back to the main jukebox page, however the file isnt in the midi folder or in my song list (in the admin section)

Whats going on here????

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Peace

^^OK well for some reason if i set a max limit in the admincp it wont allow large files to upload via the user, for now ive set it to '0' and the problem is gone....guess itll do for now, seeing we can moderate the songs going up....NICE HACK...INSTALLED

Peace
