[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]

May I give a couple tips? If you use Minorcrisis, like I do, become a donator...AND make sure you're making your files private...you don't want people, especially non-donators, stealing your bandwidth! I made that mistake, after uploading over 300 mp3's...now I'm doing it all over.:erm:

Hi,

These features will be only available in the commercial version. Due to this version being a free modification, it does have a few limitations.

I'm hoping to release the pro mp3 player very soon, features include:

• Multiple Playlists
• Playlist renaming
• Album thumbnails
• Sorting Options
• Shuffle on/off
• Replay track or entire playlist
• Fully skinnable player (includes templates to create your own in PSD format)
• Player will also support add-ons
• All new improved templates
• Visualizations - packed with 3 free ones (more will be released.)

Also a number of new players will be available, which come with product XML's to install.

A feature that is being looked into is mp3 file upload, but due to some server configurations this may not be possible with all hosts. A modified .htaccess file will be supplied, this will normally allow people to get around the PHP restrictions on file uploading, hence a new time-out and file upload limit will be increased.

More details can be found on our website.

thx 4 info

[ragtek]

is it possible to send a song to the player?

i'd like to make a "filebase" in wich the user can put there links to there music

so when i click on a song in the userprofil the player should start and the song should be in the playlist

[kennethsia]

ty i go mp3upload.com haha great stuff. i tried microcrisis. bandwidth sucks omg fully skinnable !! woot thats what im looking forward to. also maybe better looking interface?

i could try designing for u syrus.xl

[deezelpope]

I dunno what you're smokin' there, kennethsia, but I want some! I checked out this mp3upload.com, and it just gives you links to other places. What's so great about that?

BTW, it's Minorcrisis.net...and it's bandwidth sucks for anonymous members, not for donators.

[ragtek]

btw

you all who installed it, should inform you what music is allowed and what not!

but anyway
my users and i love this hack!
i look out for the commercial version and hope that it will not be to expensive
i've build it in my 3 forums, the 4. will come tommoror

[mr moose]

im having a small problem with this hack its totally amazing but it seems it dont always play the whole track it keeps cutting off tracks half way through then moves on to the next track can anyone shed some light on this plz
