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!

When I add an mp3 I can see it to approve in Playlist 1 but when I go to approve it does not save the status as approved and it does not show up in the playlist.

This is an actual bug... Set the Mp3 Player Settings not to approve, then Save. That should fix the problem temporary until the bug is fixed. The way other users have got around this is by using the usergroup permission settings.

Thanks a bunch Syrus. I love the mod and your quick responses makes this mod one of the best. I already nominated it for motm I wish I could vote more than once.

syrus I hate to be a pain but all of my members running IE get a 404 error. Those running firefox and opera run it just fine. I tried telling them all to convert to a superior browser but they didn't like that answer :P

404 Error?? When is this occuring, and from which link? First I've heard of it

[GateKeper]

New to this stuff but I am trying and am learning, I thought I followed the instructions to the letter, but it's not working, I see the vBmp3PLayer in my nav bar, the install I think went OK, had no error messages, that I saw, but when I click on the mp3 on the menu bar, I get this error message

Not Found
The requested URL /mp3playerindex.php?do=viewmp3playerpopup was not found on this server.

what did I do wrong, what did I miss please advise when you get a chance, I tried to go though this entire thread looking for the answer but could not find what I needed.

Thanks

[GateKeper]

Disregard my above post, I found the problem, I did not upload the contents of the upload folder correctly, I went through all the steps and found my error, I uploaded correctly and WOW, it loaded the player.

I am going to test the rest of it out soon, hope, I have no more issues,

Thanks

[GateKeper]

OK I click on the navbar and it opens up the mp3 player, but the window that opens up is too small and it cuts off, cannot resize either, so have to scroll across and down, and when I click on the add mp3's it opens up same window another tab, but that is not sized correctly. either

using vbulletin 3.6.5, firefox-latest version

any ideas

I am going to attach a screen cap, hopefully that helps.

Cheers

sorry the pic is small, hope you can make out what I am trying to say or show....


Edit:
This might be a contraint of firefox possibly, I used a pc with IE and the window was fine and resizeable

[GateKeper]

Can' approve the mp3's either, I have manually loaded them to my server, I went to control panel and added to play list1, and went to approve, but when I go back to look they are back to NO, as in no approval

ideas ? suggestions ?

Thanks

I did try the don't approve option, no difference, they wont stay approved.


Edit:
I think we have this one resolved as well, we have linked a few songs and we are able to approve,not sure what happened or why it's now working.

It happens when they click on the link in the navbar to open the player. I am trying to find out what version of IE they all use the majority so far have been 7.

In the launch code you'll see this line:

<a href="javascript:NewWindow=window.open('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>

Change the relative url from this:

mp3playerindex.php?do=viewmp3playerpopup

To an absolute url like this:

http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/mp3playerindex.php?do=viewmp3playerpopup

Obviously changing the example url part depending on what your forum root is named, etc.

Hope that helps!
