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.

Wow, I'm really stupid for not noticing that!
Thanks a bunch for this mod, my members will love it =).

[trafix]

... great to here ... dont forget to click "Install"

[givemeplain]

Does this work in firefox? It's not playing for some of my members Actually, it's not working in internet explorer either. It says the song is playing, but no sound comes out

[trafix]

have you set the "Media Folder" on your vb options? ... you only need to enter the name of your folder without any backslashes ... and the folder MUST be in the forum root folder

[givemeplain]

Yup, I set the folder as "music" (which is in root dir) and added the song Hikari.mp3 to it. In the add song in admincp i set song filename as Hikari.mp3 . Doesn't play though =(

*you dont have to register*


Edit: I'm stupid, all right it works, just has to completely load to work?

[trafix]

interesting .... i put the full url into the address line http://www.shiburaonline.com/music/Hikari.mp3 ... in theory the song should play

did you upload in binary?

the other thing is it looks like the jb_jukebox_bit isnt right ... please change it to

<tr>
		<td align="center" $backcolor>
	$rateimage
	</td>
	<td align="left" $backcolor>
	<a href="vb_jukebox.php?$session[sessionurl]do=main&mysong=$songlist[songid]">$songlist[title]</a>

I updated the template, looks a lot better =). I uploaded the songs in auto transfer type using smartFTP, it works if you goto the url and download the song (For Me).

Ill update the zip again ... here it is ... put in your images/rating folder

[givemeplain]

Thanks =)

Any idea still why the music doesn't play until after around 15 minutes of it being clicked? I have dsl so I know it shouldn't take that long.

[trafix]

Thanks for you persistance

Yep ... the time delay is because of it being an mp3 ... they are larger files and the media player uses a buffer so it has to download a % of the song before it will statr playing
