New Posting Features - Tigur MP3/Media Player Post Integration - Integrate MP3/FLV Player into Post

Description
This mod integrates the JW MediaPlayer into a users post. I initially made it because I wanted someone to make something that my users can start playing their mp3s into the post automatically (Music forum where people post their own mixed/made legal music).

Install

Step 1. Download the free JW MediaPlayer From http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_Media_Player (Licence fee if for profit - NOTE this is NOT my player I did not make it, I was recommended it by someone else!).

Step 2. Unzip and upload content to root (http://www.mywebsite.com/) then rename main folder to "mediaplayer"

Step 3. Install Product from Product Manager

Step 4. Uploaded attached image to image to /forums/images/editor/



Troubleshooting:

• It just loads a blank loading SWF screen goto Custom BB Codes and just click save without changing anything. If still does not work you can find
  PHP Code:

  /mediaplayer/mediaplayer.swf 

  and add your domain infront of it Ex http://www.mysite.com/mediaplayer/mediaplayer.swf. If this does not work then no idea it may be the upload itself - try it again if not post here so we can figure it out
• It shows the default vBulletin Image. Goto Custom BB Codes Find
  PHP Code:

  /images/misc/vbulletin3_logo_white.gif 

  and replace that with your direct link to your sites logo.

Note
This is my FIRST ever vB "Hack" it isn't really anything other than it auto installs it for you... If I can I'll work on an auto convert option...
I'd also like to thank all the vB Hackers here as I was learning how to do this by reading all your .xml sources!

Demo of what it looks like: http://www.vibeunderground.com/forum...10-2007-a.html

Please note you should read NeutralizeR's article on vB.org about by passing the click to activate for flash. To do so read it here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ht=click+flash

Notes about this player (JW3):
It is actually a full functional media player, it can be used to play an rss feed in text (auto translate to audio), an rss podcast (randomly) you can also generate the code from the JW site to customize your player, either for the embed or if you want under your header a full play list like i do on vibeunderground.com. This player can also play video as well.

Currently the file needs to be uploaded somewhere in order for this to work, as this is being my first "hack" I am still learning, I would love to turn it into something that you could upload and it auto embeds it for you. An alternative is you could get the users to upload the file via the attachments manager, then they can just copy the link to the attachments manager to play it.

Keep in mind that when you install The player, the main files after unzip must be in your /mediaplayer/ directory. If it comes out with a folder called jw3_media_player and in it is all the files, than just rename the media_player folder to just mediaplayer and upload that to your root.

What I'd love to do, but don't know enough about flash, is create a dj mixer where users can type in links to an mp3 and they can que, scratch and mix mp3s together.

If anybody more advanced than me would like to further this project, go right ahead just give credit to this thread/mod and inform me.

Example of what you can do with the podcast feature, setting it up. I may redo the mod to add it so you can have a podcast tag and an mp3 tag.

Doest it work with vB 3.6.4 ??

[Tigur]

I havn't tried it with 3.6.4 - You can try it if you'd like if it doesn't work vB should tell you when you try to install it.

[speedracer68]

Does this allow anyone to do this? For example I have a member who hosts the FLV videos on his server. Then he needs to creat a post on my site talking about the video and then pasting it into a thread.

[Tigur]

Yes. It must be hosted on a server. Though it currently is setup as an "mp3" player. You'd have to adjust the size. Actually if you can provide me a link to an flv file I'll see about adding it so you won't have too - though I won't be able to work on that till friday. Technically though you could just goto the custom bb manager and cut/paste the code from http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_Media_Player that it gives you.

This is a fantastic first mod - thanks!

On the Quickeditor toolbar, how can I use an icon in place of the "Wrap MP3 tags around selected text"?

Wow, I simply amaze myself sometimes at what I moron I am! I see the editor button now, thanks. Closer reading will no doubt be helpful in the future.
