[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!

This modification will work on 3.5.x - its designed to work with any vbulletin that supports product.xml import.

There is an update due to be released, which I'm hoping to get done shortly.

Cool, Let me install today. Thank!

Anyone wanting to view the new Xeon Z4 can see it here:

This will be the new popup box, using independent CSS for maximum color matching.

For some reason it doesn't play. I already set usergroup to allow permission. Also, I noticed when I looked at my setting in MP3 setting management >> Add MP3 playlist 1, click on edit

Approve MP3 >> i checked on approve but alway default to NO.

Here my mp3 link that I added one music but doesn't show any title or hear anything.

The 4.0 zip file still has the old skin. Was that intentional? No big deal though.. I like the old skin because it matches my forum colors.

No changes were made to the actual player, all changes related to files and a few template updates. There is a new player due out soon, but that uses independent CSS - I think I put a screenshot preview of the player in the v4.0 package.

Gotcha. I thought the new player was going to be part of this release.

Any plans for:

1. Increasing the number of playlists (maybe an Admin function)

2. Increasing the number of songs in playlists to >100

3. The admin capability of naming the playlists, i.e, Rock, Pop, Country, etc.

4. Admin function to move songs between playlists.


Great Mod! Thanks! Can't wait to see what the paid mod offers.. it will definitely be on my buy list.

Most of these features will be within the Pro version.

I'll answer these questions in order...

1. The free version is limited to 5 playlists - the planned Pro version has unlimited playlists.

2. No limits on number of tracks per playlist.

3. All playlists can be added via AdminCP and named to whatever the admin sets them.

4. There's many features for manipulating tracks between playlists, and also sorting in various ways.

Additionally, the Pro version allows re-skinning to an extent, repeat and shuffle tracks buttons on the player.
