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.

If you mail me the fla file i can make it for you in the form of a mal, so all you have to do is import, adjust settings, export and don't save the original..then you can stream mp3 as much as you wish.

Ok I've got the streaming swf thing working well, but I just have one question. I've noticed that once a song stops ends, it then starts to play again. Is there an easy way to not make them loop?

[NuclioN]

Yes, at the end of the timeline on the last frame add a keyframe and in that put a stop action.

I've found also a handy script to stream mp3 without the whole procedure to stream it in swf. Url: http://www.moock.org/asdg/codedepot/...dPreloader.zip

What it does is cut the loadtime seriously by streaming the mp3 in your browser.
Now, i've first tried to place the jukebox variable $playsong in that script but i realized that the swf can not read this. There must be another way. When i find it out i let you know, if you know how to do this i hope you can help.

Well I think I got the Top 10 working the way its supposed to. In jukebox.php replace all occurances of:

PHP Code:

$mostplayed=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT songsid,sname,surl,splay FROM jukebox ORDER BY splay desc LIMIT 1"); 


With:

PHP Code:

$mostplayed=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT * FROM `jukebox` ORDER BY `splay` DESC LIMIT 0, 30'); 


Takes awhile to load the songs thou. Even on cable. Is that normal? Takes like 1-2 minutes. Will the songs be cached in ur browser after you play them a few times that way they will or should play right away?
