BB Code Enhancements - Embed MP3 in post using flash player

This is somthing I created rather quickly because I wanted somthing small and effective for streaming MP3's in a post. I was searching the net for a nice small MP3 player to embed into a post and I found a nice FREE one over at 1pixelout.net. I did NOT create the player, I only created the BB code for this hack.

This takes about 2 minutes to prepare and get working.

Follow these steps

1. Download the Audio Player here http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-...ugin/#examples

2. Unzip and upload the files for the player to your host.

3. Add new BB code with the following information

Title: FlashPlayer

Tag: mp3

Replacement:

<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.yourhost.com.com/audio/audio-player.js"></script>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.yourhost.com/audio/player.swf" id="audioplayer4" height="24" width="290">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.yourhost.com/audio/player.swf">
<param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=4&amp;soundFile={param}">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>

Keep in mind this replacement code must match the location where you uploaded the audio player on your host.

Example: [mp3]http://www.hd-trailers.org/song.mp3[/mp3] *"http://" must be added for this to work properly.

Use Option: No

Button Image: See attachment

How to use: Simply find a link to an mp3 file and wrap the tags around it! That's it!

Your welcome.

I see its turned into mp3, no longer stream. good idea. does it only handle mp3's?

[majordork82]

As far as I know only mp3's. If you find otherwise please let me know.

Is it possible to have MP3's automatically play in profile with something like this I would love a mod like that it has been highly requested as well

Yeah its possible, I do it on my site. Basically, what you want to do, is 1. find a flash player to use. (one of those sites that has the embed code generated after letting you search for songs is good.) 2. look at the embed code, find the user id(or whatever its using that is similar), take it out and replace with a field .. this way a user can use their own ID's ... that's basically it.

Installed straight out of the box with no problems.
Thanks majordork82 .. clicked install.

[majordork82]

Yeah this is pretty simple and works fantastic!

Interesting.

Is there a way to make this 'automatic'? I'd like to have a forum that imports feeds from podcasts, but currently the links to the audio file aren't in a format that make it easy for my forum members to click and listen.

Can this mod be used to 'automatically' post audio files with the flash player?

If someone will take this on 'for a fee', let me know. Thanks.

[majordork82]

I'm sure it can be done but thats a whole new mod in itself

I really like it... java

Glad you lile it! I'm working on another one right now.
