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.

Okay....I went through the manual install and it appears most of it works. I see the vb Jukebox in the left hand column of my Admin CP and the Quick Link takes me to the Jukebox forum but I don't see the anyplace under vB options to set the Jukebox options. Any ideas where I may have went wrong?

Thanks,
Dan

I think I may have found part of the problem. The settings.php file for the install hack contains these two lines.

$settinggroup['jukebox']['phrase'] = 'Vb Jukebox';
$settinggroup['jukebox']['displayorder'] = '888';

Where does this information go?

Thanks,
Dan

Can someone help with the permissions?

We have our permissions set so that admins and mods can upload songs, however, it's not allowing the mods to upload for some reason. Instead we have to upload all songs onto our ftp client manually... and our bandwidth use has gone through the roof.

Any help would be appreciated.

hmm, if the permissions are set for the mods properly they should be able to upload.

The uploader has issues with large files so that could be another reason y they are having problems.

uploading manually wont blow your bandwith through the roof ... its the downloading when members play songs that could do that. if you have a busy jukebox maybe you could add a new usergroup and charge them for the use of the juke
