*IMPORTANT: About version 3.6!!*

[high]External Data Pull[/high]
This modification is designed to pull data from internal and external servers. Check that you enter full urls to pull external data or the modification will fail to read.

[high]Features:[/high]

• Can hold upto 500 mp3 tracks (5 playlists with 100 tracks in each)
• Automatically cuts off access to playlists if 100 tracks are reached
• All track data held in database
• Volume & Pan(balance) Controls
• Add mp3's through AdminCP or via Popup
• PM system notifcation of new tracks submitted
• Edit/Delete/Approve/Deny tracks via AdminCP
• Usergroup Permissions for adding tracks and viewing of player
• Multi-functional display on mp3 player
• WOL Enabled - see who's using the mp3 player
• Stream and Buffer parameters per track
• Track pre-loading on display

This version is not compatible with the XML driven vbMp3 Player I released awhile ago (you may uninstall or leave in, as this version uses renamed files). The player, and all code have been changed, and now fully utilizes the vBulletin AdminCP for settings, mp3 playlist management, usergroup permissions.

[high]Known Issues:[/high]
None

UPDATING:
Overwrite all files with the new package XEON Mp3 Player v4.0.0
Import the Product XML file using the vBulletin Product Manager. Go to Mp3 Player Management and update settings and Save.

Template edit:
(required on new install or upgrade, unless you have installed other products from us.).
In the headinclude template -
Find:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>

Above add:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/flashobject.js"></script>

If this line of code already exists then DO NOT ADD IT!

End of Update


MAIN INSTALLATION

Installation:
Upload the contents of the ?Upload folder? to your forum root. Import the ?product-mp3player.xml? file via ?Plugins & Products? ? Manage Products ? Import Product in your AdminCP. Press F5 or refresh your browser window to view the Mp3 Player Management menu. Once you install this version make sure you Update the MP3 Management settings and click SAVE, failure to do so will result in an error if you enable the custom PM notification system.

Template Edits:
These edits are based on the default vBulletin style, you may need to change if you have a custom style.


AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates -> navbar

Find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

After add:

<!-- Mp3 Player Launch -->
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="javascript:NewWindow=window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/mp3playerindex.php?do=viewmp3playerpopup','newWin','width=500,height=500,left=0,top=0, toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=1,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');
NewWindow.focus(); void(0);">vbMp3 Player</a></td>
</if>
<!-- End Mp3 Player Launch -->

Now, navigate to AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager ? adjust usergroups permissions as required. Default is all usergroups have no access.

You now have the vbMp3 XEON player installed!

[high]Update notifications can only be sent out if you have clicked 'INSTALL'.[/high]

More players will available shortly.

Enjoy!

No, this a free version and fully supported by my co-author and myself. There will be a commercial premium version, but this is along way off, and in very early development.

Hi Syrus... thanks for all your hard work.

My question is about adding MP3 URL's... my music is in 4 folders on my server... does it require the FULL URL (with http://) or will it accept "/forum/music/playlist1.mp3"?

I have nearly 300 songs to add..LOL

It may work with a relative url, thats one thing I have not tried yet. Flash can be 'funny' with some relative urls, but it does work on occassions depending on the location of the main flash file. Worth a try though, if thats how you have them entered in the old XML files.

300..wow! Alot of work, to do manually!:ermm:

It uses the full URL with http://

And yes, lots of work to do. I'm just leaving the old one intact until I have time to do the adds in the AdminCP. It's all good. :squareeyed:

[Gripemaster]

I don't suppose there's a "mass add mp3's" option hiding anywhere? LOL

No worries... it'll be well worth the time.

[DementedMindz]

is there anyway we could stream a radio station from it?

Thanks, but the image seems to drop out of place... www.chasm-online.com. Perhaps that is normal? Thanks for the great support!

It doesnt seem to care to work on my portal vbacmps:

Warning: main(./global.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/chasmonl/public_html/mp3playerindex.php on line 33

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/lib/php') in /home/chasmonl/public_html/mp3playerindex.php on line 33

Thats the error I get I believe my paths are right

EDIT Again: The window comes up blank, it doesnt appear to load anything.

Really nice! If you can have mass mp3s adding it would be a killer mod!
Thanks and click install!
