With optional store hack intergration

Here we go, time for some music....I have seen a few threads here requesting a jukebox hack.
So here it is...

Once you have installed this hack please keep in mind legal issues we loading your jukebox with songs.
You can add MP3 however it is NOT advisable without permission from the copyright governing bodies in your country.
The jukebox operates in its own seperate browser window

Here are the instalation instructions for the Jukebox hack. It wont take you very long.
As like my other hacks this hack is also designed to operate on its own or with Lesane's store hack
If you have the store hack installed you can make users buy "Jukebox Plays" from the store before they can listen to songs.

The admin area is highly configurable and the jukebox has 4 different modes
1) Off
2) On - Jukebox Plays Needed (Lesane's Store Required)
3) On - Freeplay For Members & Guests
4) On - Freeplay For Members Only

There is also defult audio settings, this defult is used at the beginning of jukebox session (when a user opens the jukebox)
1) You can nominate a defult song. I have recorded an MP3 voice introduction that you can use.
2) You can set it to play the most requested song.
3) No audio

There is also a top 10 song list as well.

DEMO: www.atmyparty.com

Yes, excellent idea! I'm into video production so this would be a useful modification.

Indeed the Jukebox addon works very well, especially with SWF as it streams very well.

[trafix]

I agree, however i dont have the knoledge required to build a video addon

Its great that this hack is getting a lot of use, perhaps you could post in the requests forum with your addon idea.

i have read the whole thread.. and i still have problems playing swf files.. =/

Can somebody explain to me why the heck you would ever want to serve MP3s? Just use Kazaa and save yourself and your users all sorts of trouble. Now if a user could use your forum as a "middle man" to share files with other users, that would be something, but to just have a list seems almost pointless with programs such as kazaa and many others.

i cant use your jukebox queries php script .. i dunno why

could you post the queries so i can use phpmyadmin ... i tried to get your queries from the php file but when i goto enter them i get an error

[Mickie D]

ok i managed to get the queries out from the php .. silly me lol

here they are if any one else needs them and cant get the jukeboxquerie.php script to work

CREATE TABLE jukebox (
songsid smallint(5) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment,
sname varchar(255) NOT NULL,
surl varchar(255) NOT NULL,
splay varchar(5) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (songsid)
)


CREATE TABLE jukeboxadmin (
event smallint(5) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment,
playtype smallint(5) DEFAULT '0',
defultsong varchar(255) NOT NULL,
defultdetail varchar(255) NOT NULL,
defultaudio smallint(5) DEFAULT '0',
storehack smallint(5) DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY (event)
)


INSERT INTO jukeboxadmin VALUES (NULL,'2', 'http://www.xxxx.xxx/midi/midi/xxxx.xxx', 'Description', '1', '0')


right that lot should sort you out ok

[Mickie D]

also a question about the jukebox

right as you have said b4 when i read posts the bandwidth will be very high for busy boards... i was wondering i have appache running a test vbulletin for me on my home machine and windows XP... could i point the url to my test site for the mp3's ????

so all bandwidth would be taken from my adsl connectin i mean it does nothing really lol so i would not be bothered about it ???

Rusty_Boi:

Sorry, I cant help you as I know nothing about swf files.

Gutspiller:

Your opionion! I saw a request for a jukebox hack, so I built one It was build to play midi files but I can only warn them regarding other music formats and I will not be help responsible if members loose their websites because they broke the law.

Mickie D:

Yeah sure, you should be able to link the music file url's to your local system let me know how you get on.

[Mickie D]

cheers m8 for the quick reply ... to be honest thats the fastest ever reply to hack i have posted on vbulletin.org lol

ok that is gr8 and yes it is running gr8 from my local machine to my main website

but now i have a more complicated question m8y

can it stream the audio instad of downloading the whole file to play it ????

[Mickie D]

and maybe it should work in a popup window so people can browse your site (anyones site) at the same time

just an idea as if you leave the page or put it down to the task bar it goes off
