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!

If this does not rectify the problem, then remove the line of code completely, and insert it just above the flash embed coding, this will work, but may cause issues if you install further products developed by us.

Where can i find that flash embeding code.. ?

[Joemadden1989]

When adding mp3 i get the following error (Outside the admin panal)

Fatal error:

* The following users were not found:
1. Admin name

Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vB_DataManager_PM in [path]\includes\class_dm.php on line 810
#0 vb_error_handler(256,

* The following users were not found:
1. Admin name

Now i know this mod is for 3.6, Hower its currenly running on 3.8, Is this an issue with this?

So I installed this hack - but I have no idea how to get music onto the player so my users can use it.

How do I install music - where can I go to get music? Can members add music ?

emm..
In ur admin cp you will be able to c MP3 managements
And musics are adding through this panel,,

Upload your musics to your server..

and get the music url..

it should be something like this

http://www.yoursitename.com/forum/track01.mp3

and ad this in MP3 URL

.. thats all.. ;

How to Stream SHOUTcast streams thru the XEON
Right to get Shoutcast stream to play in the Mp3 player all you need really is the IP address and Port number.

Here's an example:
http://64.62.194.11:8050/;stream.nsv&type=mp3

You would enter the above in the url field. Now this is how any shoutcast is made to play with our mp3 player.

In the example we have taken the Shoutcast IP then the port number, hence we have the following:
http://64.62.194.11:8050

Now the Mp3 player cannot play this without the url ending without the mp3 characters at the end, so to do this we simply add this:
/;stream.nsv&type=mp3

This is now in a format that the Mp3 player will recognize, this will work with any shoutcast stream. Remember, you only need the IP and the Port number, and as long as you enter /;stream.nsv&type=mp3 it will play.

The XEON was not designed to stream SHOUTcast streams therefore the counters will behave strangely, using the above method.

It creates it's own tables within vBulletin therefore it will work with any version that supports the import plugin XML system, and 3.8 does. It is running on 3.8 on our website, with no issues.
