No example tracks are included in this version.

*IMPORTANT: About version 3.6!!*

[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!

The actual mp3 player swf file wasn't changed. If you download the 3.6 version and just upload the player it should have the shuffle on by default. On v4.0 this was turned off by default, and coding was changed.

i am sorry for asking such a stupid question but i uploaded my music in 4shared and this is the link they gave me:
http://www.4shared.com/file/55302664...wwSongsPK.html

it didnt work...i know it very silly but i have never uploaded mp3 links in player...where do i go and make links so i can use the player...i really feel silly asking this but i hope someone can help

The player requires direct links to mp3's, this means the actual url to the mp3 must be a full url and end with .mp3 (any other extension will fail).

If it was turned off, how do I turn it back on?

It cannot be turned on and off, as such. This is why a number of players were released, each one contains different settings. They are compiled with various defaults per player, these include shuffle and repeat features.

These will probably be added in a future update to the actual player file, so they can be turned on/off at will.

Hello, I have this installed on a 3.6.9 board and it works outstanding. I'm not sure if this has been asked but I have members who want to ad songs to the play list but don't have a way to host the mp3 file so they have to send them to me so I can either upload them via ftp to the same website or a different one then input the url.

On my other site I'm running a phpbb2 board with MPS Auto-MP3 Mod v.0.1.0 installed which allows members to upload the mp3 files. Is there a version or add on to this mod to allow members to upload the files? We have plenty of bandwidth and upload speed available.

Please let me know.

Thanks!

Ok with the style I'm using the links on the header (what operates as the navbar here) are all floating so basically I can only use the

<a href="http://www.edgeoftheinternet.com/forums/arcade.php">Arcade</a>

format for links or it throws the entire navigation out of whack. Is there a way for me to convert the

<!-- Mp3 Player Launch -->
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="javascript:NewWindow=window.open('mp3playerindex.php?do=view mp3playerpopup ','newWin','width=500,height=500,left=0,top=0, toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=1,status=No,resi zable=No,fullscreen=No');
NewWindow.focus(); void(0);">vbMp3 Player</a></td>
</if>
<!-- End Mp3 Player Launch -->

To the format I need or a way to implement so that it acts as a link of that sort. I'd really like to get this going but until I can get it on my navbar without completely ruining the alignment of everything its not really an option.

[syrus.xl]

If you're using a non-standard style then it can be adjusted accordingly. It will even work with image buttons if coded correctly.

In your circumstances you just need to remove the default TD tag, so your code looks like this:

<!-- Mp3 Player Launch -->
<if condition="$show['member']">
<a href="javascript:NewWindow=window.open('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>
</if>
<!-- End Mp3 Player Launch -->

Hope that helps!
