With optional store hack intergration

Here we go, time for some music....I have seen a few threads here requesting a jukebox hack.
So here it is...

Once you have installed this hack please keep in mind legal issues we loading your jukebox with songs.
You can add MP3 however it is NOT advisable without permission from the copyright governing bodies in your country.
The jukebox operates in its own seperate browser window

Here are the instalation instructions for the Jukebox hack. It wont take you very long.
As like my other hacks this hack is also designed to operate on its own or with Lesane's store hack
If you have the store hack installed you can make users buy "Jukebox Plays" from the store before they can listen to songs.

The admin area is highly configurable and the jukebox has 4 different modes
1) Off
2) On - Jukebox Plays Needed (Lesane's Store Required)
3) On - Freeplay For Members & Guests
4) On - Freeplay For Members Only

There is also defult audio settings, this defult is used at the beginning of jukebox session (when a user opens the jukebox)
1) You can nominate a defult song. I have recorded an MP3 voice introduction that you can use.
2) You can set it to play the most requested song.
3) No audio

There is also a top 10 song list as well.

Yep, as long as you enter the full url in the field when you add a song, it can be anywhere.

The installation seemed to go fine, but none of the music is playing when you select a song. (I've waited for it to finish loading, and the locations are correct.)

hmmmmm can you either post or pm the ulr to your jukebox please.....and either select a defult song or put it in freeplay mode so i can have a look...tnx

To let this work with streaming swf (made out of mp3 wich is extremely cool) you can change this in the 'jukebox_play_song' template:

Replace
<bgsound src="$playsong" loop="1">

with:
<embed src="$playsong" width="0" height="0">

Invalid SQL: SELECT storename,pointname,ban FROM storeadmin
mysql error: Unknown column 'ban' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

Everything runs ok - ran the queries as well

and still get that ???

I do have the store hack installed and i ran the query for that even checked everything again but its a no go

I get that when i click on the link on main forum home page to go to it.

can someone give some info on what program to use to convert mp3s to swf

I tried this one but when playing in IE it shows a Scroll bar with stop/Play etc or is this correct ??

http://www.actionscript.org/software...ump.cgi?ID=115

not that i can stream em to my prob is sorted out in Post 37
but any info on this would help for when i do.

You can convert mp3 to swf with flash (5 or mx). Now, it's not easy to explain how to do this, but i shall try to make a tutorial for it.
You can import a mp3 in flash and then click window/library. After that click with the right mousebutton on your mp3 and choose properties and set this as output:

- compression = mp3
- unmark (do not select) convert stereo to mono
- bitrate = 128 kps
- quality =fast

Now, after you've done this you must doubleclick on the first keyframe on the timeline and a sound editwindow apears. Choose the sound from the display and set this:

- effect = none
- sync = stream

Ok, after this you must stretch the output over the whole timeline untill there is no grafical output visible, so make frames (somethimes 2 to 3000 or more) untill all the output is visible. Remove the empty frames after the last visible output. Your streaming swf file is now ready to export. Export the swf as it is, so don't make changes in the output.

Upload this swf file to your server and listen to it in your forum (html enabled or you must have the swf vb code tags installed) with this code:

<embed width="0" height="0" src="http://www.yourserver.com/yourfile.swf">

Or when you have the swf vb code installed:
{SWF=http://www.yourserver.com/yourfile.swf} width="0" height="0"{/SWF}

Remember the { tags must be replaced with [ to let that work.
