Add-On Releases - Radio and TV Player 3.8.x

Mark this thread as installed only if you want to receive important update notifications by email.

This will add a fully featured Radio and TV Streaming Player with stations library to your forum.

Features:
- Users can add / delete / edit own stations (controlled by usergroup permissions)
- Users can have a favorite stations list
- Report broken / duplicate stations links
- Totally coded in AJAX (no page reloads)
- Plays Windows Media Player, Real Player and Quicktime streams
- Shows user's favorites and last played station in profile page
- and much more...

Installation is easy. You need to upload some files, import a product, import the default stations (if you wish) and make only two manual navbar template edits, one for the popup link and another for the javascript that opens the popup. This is optional and the link can be put elsewhere, just remember to also add the javascript on the same page.

This mod is "Re-usable Code", meaning you can modify and release your modified version.

You are responsible for the streams you add to your website. The mod author doesn't take responsibility for possible copyright infringements in some countries by using some stations.

Arabic and Chinese don't work with Ajax, so this mod won't work, sorry.

This mod took roughly two weeks to code, so it should be somewhat good and bug free

I wish 4.0 was out already, so I could be updating this for it. Felt a little twitch to do it now

Kier shown some of the new vB style today. I guess Radio and TV could get a full main tab all to itself! We'll see when I get hands on with it.

I'm also planning on ditching the AJAX for the list of stations, and have it open new pages instead. Also instead of showing everything on the same page, separate things into pages. When opening a station for playing, a popup just with the player and info about it will be opened. So you can navigate through the stations list, categories, settings on one window while listening to (or watching) stations on the popup window separated.

I'm also planning on changing the filename from radioandtv.php to streaming.php, so everyone can call it whatever they want on the navigation (Radio and TV, Radio, Player, Stations, Streaming etc) without the need to change the file name which can have random effects on code. Also those station categories will then be able to get indexed by SEs, being pages and not AJAX.

Also with the new CMS widgets, I'm planning on working on a Radio widget which would appear on a right sidebar on the site, where you can navigate and pop stations for listening pleasure from there. That could be cool.

Thats pretty much it I think, what I plan on doing for 4.0.

I'm using 3.7.4 and have a question.
Everything works great with the default files, but when I go and load the .xml files listed in these thread, I'd say 50% of them don't work. Just curious why that is. I download the San Francisco and Los Angles listed in thread #3 and none of those work...

Secondly, How do people make .xml files for people to import here? Is that a special file or something?

And how do you find steaming audio? Let's say the Denver area, how would I find all the stations?

Thanks, and nice mod so far, need to still play with it some more....

They have probably changed the streaming url so that's why some stations don't work...


And you can find many radio stations from Google.
