Since I have no programming skills, I dunno if this is applicable to trying to solve the firefox problem or not. But, for anyone who DOES know what they are doing, I found the following in a general discussion about issues with windows media & firefox in the mozilla forums.

"my first problem was that my host didn't have a mime type built in for .wma

So I went to Cpanel, which my host provides/uses i dunno, and I went to mime types and added a user defined mime type for wma's which, btw, is

audio/x-ms-wma

But that wasn't enough. SO then i tried this:
Code:

<object> data="/audio/rappineric.wma" codetype="audio/x-ms-wma" </object>

It still claims "play is not a function" and tells me I have an error if I look in the web developer toolbar, but it works!"
...........................
Followed by this:

"It works. This method of embedding audio only requires the Windows Media for Netscape plugin that comes with WMP.

................
As I said... this is NOT SPECIFIC TO THIS HACK! ... only perhaps a clue to anyone trying to "fix" their problems with this hack and firefox. Hope it helps someone who knows what they're doing! Just trying to be helpful here as I need it to function with firefox as well.

Maybe this will help someone.

Zero Tolerance...you ROCK! Very easy install and it plays great on my forum in OSX Safari. But I opened IExplorer and Firefox and the Navbar had a problem. I had installed a mod earlier to move the calendar and some other items into the Quick Links drop down. With your mod the vBRadio also went into the drop down. (See attached image). In Firefox the entire forum dissappears. Here is the code within Navbar for the section we modified. Anything jump out at you guys? Thanks.

Hi Guy's..

This Is My First Post.. So Please Take It Easy With Me, Thanks.
My Question Is:

1. If I Leave This Mod And Say A VB Update Is Available Will It Be Compatible..
2. If Not Then I Know How To Revert The Procedure.. Only 1 Thing.
3. How Would I Remove The DATABASE Entry It Created.. If I So How Can I..

Regards

Mr. Mojo

PHP Code:

             <fieldset class="fieldset">
    <legend>Current Artist - Track</legend>
    <center>
    <? include("http://www.milwaukeenights.com/radio/sc_status.php"); ?>
    <? include("http://www.milwaukeenights.com/radio/sc_song.php"); ?>
    </center>
    </fieldset>

Again, virtually the exact same include works on my main page. Is it because I am using my forums in a subdomain, just poor scripting or is this something not able to be accomplished in vBulletin and vBRadio?

If need be, I can provide all the code for sc_status and sc_song.

If you want to see it in action:
working script- http://www.milwaukeenights.com (about halfway down, on the right)
not so working - http://forums.milwaukeenights.com (click on Nights Radio)

Other than this, this script is phenomenal! *installed*

Included is a screenshot of it also.......

Hmm, how u can display the songs if its radio service?D

It's my radio service. I am running the shoutcast stream and server. I am not trying to gaffle someone elses tunes, just get my own stream info to appear in the vBRadio.

Anyone have any ideas on this? I am going to play with it some more in the next couple of days and if I find anything I'll let you guys know.

Anybody ever figure out the problem with Firefox? I tried this on a Windows (XP)system that is only a few months old and it worked fine. I have all the updates and have upgraded to SP2, but mine is about 3 years old. I don't know what the difference is?

Great hack, installed and works great!

[SVTBlackLight01]

I tried that once and it didn't work, but after going through it all again it's working great now.

Congratulations! Is there any way that you could shed some light on this for those of us who are less able? Would be much appreciated.
