Embedded media player in post

This is my first mod for VB, I personally need it on my site because it's focus is MP3's, it may be able to be customized for other uses I would think. What it does is embeds Windows Media Player into the body of the post (as well as the regular attachment) using bbcode and plays the attached MP3 file. What this does upon completing the upload is allows the user to copy and paste the URL to the attached file if they choose.

Also, since this bbcode is the Windows Media Player it may also be able to play .avi, .wmv, .mpg etc. So to broaden this you can change the [MP3] [/MP3] tag to something else like [MEDIA] [/MEDIA] for example.

There is no option to secure this to specific groups, however you can use Princeton's Allow Group to Read Titles / Not Content modification as an alternative.

Better template formatting, also maybe add a javascript function so that a user can click to add the line of code to the post.

If you find this useful please Click Install

Update: Added an option to allow only certain groups to add the option to view/paste the URL in their post.

hi. i've got a question.

is there the possibility to have ALL the posts (also the old ones!) with mp3 to display the player inline?

I do not know what I do not have set right, but this will not work. Can someone please give me a hint of what may be the problem. The player shows in one post that I am testing this with. But when you push the play button it just stops.

Please help, this will help our Members so much rather than having to click back and forth from 2 different windows.

I tried it on your site and it WORKS.

I spent my past week in looking for something like this, just a simple but perfect mp3 players.

What surprises me is that this is rare, after AnyMedia goes obsolete. All other mods are focused too much on the youtube thingy and totally neglect the simplest.

Moreover, I think that by increasing the size to 500 x 400, the same replacement can be used to play wmv video clips. I have yet to try it out.

/* Sigh */

:up:

So I tested it and it works fine for wmv type video clips.

I made another tag [wmv] using the same replacement, but increased the display size,
