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!

How would i stand legally by letting my forum members listen to Mp3 tracks without paying royalties? Surely its against the law to broadcast copyright songs.Unless you pay royalties every time a song is played. Wouldnt want a big invoice from some major music company...

This was answered on a previous thread regarding the issue. It was referring to the XML driven version.

I never thought you could add up and stream MP3s that are hosted on other servers from mine...

Yes, the player is designed to accept internal or external urls. It's entirely upto ones preferences, how it's configured.

Oh that's really cool. So ayrus, have you found a way to fix up my issue? I could give you FTP and ACP access to my board. Please fix this for me! It seems that I'm the only person who's having this issue only.

And I've been waiting for a hack like this ages ago!

Here take a look for yourself:
http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/mp...mp3playerpopup

Note that you must be a member inorder to view the player. As you can see, the song doesn't even stream or plays it. It says the URL address to that song but it doesn't load or at least, says the title of that song. Do you have any idea what's going on? Is it because I have the songs uploaded in a sub-folder (which would be: http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/ju...n/opening.mp3).

Also, in case you haven't noticed, I think I've managed to find a few bugs:

-While adding a quote or multi quotes (such as: ' "), it should give you a mySQL page error. (See below.)
-Accessing the "http://www.yourdomain.com/mp3playerindex.php" page gives you a blank, white page.
-After editting the settings for the player, it gives me this error "Could not find phrase 'mp3player_cp_redirect'.".
-And finally, after adding a song/mp3 via the ACP, each time when you edit that song you will notice that the "Approve MP3" option automatically checks to "No" when it's supposed to say "Yes". It's kinda a pain in the ass to edit every song and set it to "Yes" inorder to get the song working in the player.

Hi there

I will sort out the quotes problem very soon and send the update to sysrus

A mass population option is all this mod needs. Thanks for all your hard work, thanks for a great mod.

*Finally Clicks Installed*

This is being worked on

Can anyone give advice on how to gain MP3 URL's?

Thanks!

This will be fix soon in the new updated files

[Snake]

Awesome! I can't wait for the next release. Also I am hoping if it would be possible to have something like categories?

Category #1
Category #2
Category #3
...etc

Let's say all hip-hop tracks will go into the #1 category, rock tracks will go into the #2, rap will go into the #3, etc. That would be cool.
