My thanks to Link for his one on one time in building the install files for the VB Jukebox

General Features

* The ability to play audio and movie formats - The script will detect both .mpg or .mpeg files and open the media player. If an audio format is played then the media player will stay invisable.

Admin Features

* Upload songs from your browser.
* Unlimited genres.
* Manual data entery for when the uploader fails or for large files.
* At a click will automaticly generate a new thread announcing a song in the jukebox.

* Usergroup permissions for:
--> 1) Who can listen to songs.
--> 2) Who can upload songs.
--> 3) Who can rate songs.

Front End Features

*Members can upload songs, these songs are not available in the jukebox until admin aproval (optional email notification available).
* Callapsable genres (only displays genres that have active songs in them).
* Members can rate songs.

Future Possible Functions

* members favs, this will allow members to add songs to their own favs list and if i can work it out i will try to make it so they can play their favs from start to finish.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOTE SONG HOSTING

OPTION 1

In the admin options where it asks for the folder name enter the full path to the where the songs are stored eg "www.something.com/music folder" NO backslash after.
The Downside to this is that your members canrt upload or add songs to the jukebox and movie files will not work.

OPTION 2
In vb_jukebox.php find each instance of

PHP Code:

$playsong = "$vboptions[jb_media_folder]/$playthisong 


replace with

PHP Code:

$playsong = "$playthisong" 


Then enter the full url into the song file field for each song.

Also can file types be specified? .mov ,etc.

Thanks.

sorry for not answering sooner

Basicly if the movie file will play in the media player then it will play in the jukebox

I'm having the same problem with the total plays giving negative figures,
Any ideas anyone?

The only possible reason for getting minus plays is if you have the jukebox mode in the admin options set for members only - credits required.

I believe you advised earlier that the height and width should be changed in some way to accomodate video ... could you be a little more specific about this?
Is it a change to the template or to the code?

Thank you for your support.

Thank you for your support.

In version 2.x + of the jukebox this i done automaticly when the script sees a file with the extension .mpg or .mpeg we can include other file extensions if you need to

it is possible to upload/download/manage normal files eg. .zip, .exe, .doc, .txt, etc.

I found this easy to do by changing this line of code in the JUKEBOX template:

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$jbgenre" style="$jbcollapse1">

TO:

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$jbgenre" style="display:none;">

BTW, I have installed this on two boards. 'Wish I could click the install button twice! Thanks, again.

A bit. All we want to have is that a member just give an url to any songfile on different servers. xxx.anywhere.org/test.mp3 or xxx.somewhere-else.com/test2.mp3 for example
