3 file edit
1 template edit
1 new db table
1 db table alteration

This hack uses and includes a copy of the [HIS] Hack Installer System (Build 3)
released by Link14716 and can be found here --> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71542
My thanks to Link for his one on one time in building the install files for the VB Jukebox

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.

Great job

Is there a way to manually add the modifications? This hack seems to have issues with either the vbookie hack or the group read content hack.

[pelican]

is it possible to have sub-categories? else the song list will be very long.

can we choose which directory to store the mp3? it would be better if the directory is out of /public_html/ so people cannot just download or access the media files except by logging into your forum and access through the forum.

Despite the above questions, this hack PWNZ !!!!

@ Roxie

hmmm the only possible issue could be either the same phrasegroupid is being used for both hacks ..... are the phrases for both hacks in the same phrasegroup section of your phrase manager? .... exactly what is happening roxie?

@ pelican

1) it already has categories ... they are called generes

2) i presume that you can put the media folder in that area as long as you add the relative path to that folder in the vb options where is asks for the foldername ... the current code is
[PHP]
$path/
[PHP]

$path = what is entered in the options folder

please report back if you have success

Installed but can't upload any mp3 file at all. It seems it doesn't recognize the filetype? How to fix this?

[trafix]

ok if they are large files the uploader may be having problems ... i only tested it with midis

Alternativly
step 1 - you can use your ftp client to upload the songs to the folder.

step 2 - in the admin "add" screen you will see a link that says "Change to manual date entry" select that and enter the info required including the exact filename of the song that you uploaded ....

done

Ok tnx Is it possible to stream/open mp3 trough a link to another location? You can imagine that it is to much work when members want their mp3 in your upload dir and you have to upload them all the time.
