Add-On Releases - Inline Concepta Mp3 Player - XEON Series 4

NO LONGER SUPPORTED!!!
Inline Concepta Mp3 Player for vBulletin 4.0

DEMO: http://www.digitalport.co.uk/f144/in...tml#post198409

A demonstration of the "Inline Concepta Xeon Series 4 Mp3 Player" - allowing you to add Mp3's to any post! It is light-weight, and designed to color match the default vBulletin 4.0 style. Easy installation requiring no template edits or product imports.

We have designed the player to pull the file name and display it within the player, along with it's own equalizer. Simple one button operation. The player itself is light-weight, and uses only vector based graphics, and no bitmaps.

This player does not use the same engine coding previously used with the XEON series mp3 players for vBulletin 3.x. We have completely rebuilt the engine coding and improved it beyond anything released so far. The new "Concepta" range of products are designed from scratch and to compliment vBulletin 4.x series, using new coding, allowing us to increase what we can achieve.

Important
This modification is not backwards compatible, it uses vb:raw tags which are only supported in vBulletin 4.x. We will release a vBulletin 3 version if we receive enough requests.

Installation
Upload all the contents within the Upload folder to your vBulletin forum root.

I promote the article on the home page, so the first paragraph is displayed with XEON and a graphic and some text.

XEON goes left center of the promo, moves the 100 X 100 graphic to the right, oh, and XEON goes to about half size.

What am I doing wrong????

Pic one is the article and pic two is on the home page, same article.

I will look in to see why this is happening, in theory it should not do this, since it is only an additional bbcode.

1- how to get bar like what is present in the button of your demo site?

2- your site is great how to make header like that


thanks again

Thanks!

To answer your questions...

1. Go to www.wibiya.com

2. The header with banner rotator is custom designed for the site. However, I will be releasing one very similar to it, very shortly.

I run a Electronic Dance Music site where I host mixes for DJs.
I would love to be able to bridge this and the DownloadsII mod, so that when a user posts his mix via the Downloads mod it would automatically post up this player linked to the new upload in with the listing.

However I'm not a plugin designer Tho, guess I could work on trying to figure it out, but if anyone does before hand, please let me know

Also, could this player be used as an object linkable/usable on another site? Like the way the soundcloud player works embedding it on other sites. (www.soundcloud.com)

Hi TeknoSounds,

The player design on this modification would not allow embedding like standard players, and it would not work with the DownloadsII mod. The reason for this is the way it actually pulls in the mp3, which is done via flashvars only parameter. It doesn't take much though to change it to work another way and allow embedding. I designed both players with similar coding, but neither would be suitable for the purpose you require. I will look at the current coding and see how easy it would be to pass the mp3 through the embed parameter and not via flashvars, using AS3.0.

Hi TeknoSounds,

I made a few alterations to the actual embed code with the Inline Concepta V2 Mp3 Player (I have not released it yet on here). It now allows embedding on other websites, with a few more tweaks it will work with DownloadsII.

[Preech]

Have you released this on your own site alreay.

[syrus.xl]

Yes, Concepta V2 Mp3 Player is available on my website. It will be available on here from later today.

I have to make changes in the actual posting code, before releasing it on here - because the coding is slightly different in the post, not the modification.

Hi there Syrus, first off great mod thanks so much - however, I am having problems with the inline mp3 player - whilst the player displays and detects the mp3 file (shows file name) it does not seem to play when play is hit, and the timer remains at "00:00" I followed all your steps (except for leaving BBcode within this BBcode on as that gave me problems with the auto [url] tag)

[syrus.xl]

Hi Adam,

Can you PM me any url where it is being used? I will take a look at the generated source code, it very rarely fails to work since is a very basic modification.
