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!

I have updated successfully and I have to apologize for the stupid questions! I have been doing this stuff for awhile and I guess I was just to good to check my work! Anyways Syrus, to solve the curiosity, I forgot to insert this: <script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/flashobject.js"></script> and that was the whole problem! I think this mod is unbelievable and I will be voting it mod of the month!! Thanks!!

We all make mistakes! and you're welcome.

Really, it depends on how you wish to use it. If you want to use usergroup permissions correctly then it would require an additional PHP page, and a new custom template added. However, this would probably require additional coding in the admin section.

But, on saying that you could probably get around this by just using a standard vBulletin custom page, and using the current usergroup settings of the Mp3 Management System, since it would stop guests from viewing tracks.

If you want to know the code, then I'll write an addon tutorial for displaying this within vBulletin.

Yes please that would be fantastic, just a simple template/custom page will be fine...

Did you add the headinclude template edit?

Question--
How do I prevent users from figuring out where the playlist mp3s are located on my server and then downloading them?

Wherever you place your mp3 directory, on your server, add an extra file named index.html inside with your mp3 files - this will stop anyone 'snooping' in directories. There's no way of finding the paths to the mp3's via the modification, since it calls the paths from the database via PHP, this file cannot be accessed directly either.

It's listed under Updating in the first post. I think it should be moved, as it does look confusing.:erm:
