[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

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!

If you have all well done you must be see this imageon User Groups Manager.

Tell the version you have of Vbulletin please.

I ended up uninstalling this. I run a music site, and it's fantastic in part for sites like mine since the idea is for members to upload their own content/songs.

The problem is that there isn't any limit set for the number of files or space constraits, so brand new members could concievably sign up to my site and upload a slew of pirate MP3s, or just keep uploading until my webspace is consumed.

If you can add to the usergroup permissions a file count and space check, I'd love to reinstall it - I realize that I can set the max upload size in php.ini, but that doesn't really get around the rest of the issues.

Does anybody know of any free/cheap ISP that it is ok to host mp3 files? I am desperate to be able to use this mp3player lol

Oh dear - that was my first post and it turns out to have been a bit of a school boy error!

Sorry guys, I got my live and test environments mixed up! Thanks for the quick response though!

Now that everything appears set up in the administrator panel I am having trouble opening the GUI. When I click on the link on the navigation I get a blank screen.

Any ideas?

As for the version - it is a fresh install (3.6.4)

Thanks again Dramster

EDIT: Apologies once again! Sorted now. Not my best start to a new bard I've joined :-)

Solution:

Approve New Mp3 Added
Select Yes if you want the admin to approve all new MP3s that are added by users.

You 're excellent coder

[tobybird]

Installed. Working great but I am getting an error message at the end of my play list. Any ideas what would be causing this?

eta: I should state that the message pops up after the last song has finished playing.

Hi all

I have sent syrus the updated files that fixes the redirect in the admincp,
and also i have added the option of adding multiple mp3 files in the add mp3 page.
You will be able to add 3 mp3 files at a time in there now.
If anyone has problems with the script i will help as much as i can.
