[ Audio / Visual ] - VB Mega Jukebox - Now with permissions to save bandwith

I want to thank everyone who has supported the original release of this hack and for all the suggestions to make this hack even better
I have spent days on adding all these new features and would like to thank the people who have assisted me to get some of these function to work.

Its back after a long time

This hack will add a whole new dimention to your forums with a Jukebox

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.

and now i made it to being able to add songs, and catagorues, but when you click a song at vb_jukebox.php page nothing happens

this is one of the last big hacks i need to add to my site, im only testing this on a demo board, and would like to get things wraped up..thank you

[illusions]

just a quick question... is this hack competible with 3.07?

[Brandon Sheley]

its been VERY buggy with me. and i use 3.0.7 and a bit hard to get support
but it should work with 3.0.7 :ermm: guess ill give my demo a 5th try with this one mod..wish me luck

[Deviant++]

I tried to uninstall the hack but it gave me a db syntax error so I went in the dba dn dropped the table cause everything else was dropped..

thn I reran the installer, everything went fine but when I go to the acp area and the jukebox page I get this.... and trafix isnt around

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.6:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT *
FROM vb3_vb_jukebox_trax
ORDER BY genre

mysql error: Table 'dvdb.vb3_vb_jukebox_trax' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

I am trying to figure out how to have the medi player control come up when audio is being played.

This was rather easy to do for video, bat I cant figure out how to do it for the audio.

Thanks if anyone can help.

[Brandon Sheley]

well iv installed this on 3 fresh boards, and tried on one live board. and none worked, and now i have 90 users that ill have to import to a new baord and start all over.. i do not recomend this hack to anyone. unless you have some special luck that i didn't ? im currently paying someone to convert ibp's unrealjukebox to vB guess i wont have music on my board untill then.. *uninstalls*

[seangworld]

i just can't get the mp3 to play. it keeps telling me that it cannot play that filetype, which is a mp3.

what da problem is?

[seangworld]

ok....

when manually putting in the songs because you ftp'd them into place...for filename, just put the actual file name - NO PATH OR URL, ETC. (ie: one of my songs is called +++++. i would put in filename: +++++.mp3) that was the main cause of my problems, the f'n path.

and also i THINK the player has a problem with us using ":" in the song title, but im not messing with it anymore to figure it out or not. it's working now so why mess with it....

clicks INSTALL.

[FStop]

Ok, i'm probably the biggest newb here, as i'm kinda lost. Went through the install, as it just said: "enter values, etc" and enjoy. Ok, so next, next, next, and i'm done....

well, not really. i figured out how to get to the jukebox page, as there are no links in my forums, only the vb jukebox admin options in the general section, and for some reason, as administrator, i can't listen to music, much less upload.

so i read the readme, and saw this:

************************
Find
************************

	if ($canmoderate)
	{
		construct_nav_group($vbphrase['moderation'], '<hr />', "$df");
		construct_nav_spacer();

***********
Insert After
***********

// start vb jukebox hack by trafix

		construct_nav_option($vbphrase['jb_track_list'], 'vb_jukebox_admin.php', '<br />');
		construct_nav_group("$vbphrase[jb_vbjukebox]", '<hr />');
		construct_nav_spacer();
	
// end vb jukebox hack by trafix

ok, find that string, paste the code in there after that..no dice. looked around the 31 pages some more, and saw things had to be done in the readme. (which i read, but everytime i follow instructions, the ending says "Enjoy!", not, oh, go do other stuff in another file....

so i open the readme file, and see this:

If you have installed the Dual Navigation hack https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=74043

************************
Find
************************

// ********************* Add hack nav function code above here *********************


************************
Else
************************

$printhr = false;
	if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))
	{
	
	

***********
Insert Before
***********

// start vb jukebox hack by trafix
if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))
	{
		$printhr = true;
		construct_nav_option($vbphrase['jb_track_list'], 'vb_jukebox_admin.php', '<br />');
		construct_nav_group("$vbphrase[jb_vbjukebox]", '<hr />');
	}
// end vb jukebox hack by trafix

ok, well, i don't have the "Dual Navigation hack," whatever that is, so i look for

$printhr = false;
	if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))
	{

yeah, don't have that either.

after reading the rest of the readme, it's become apparent that i have no idea where to put all these strings of code, as my knowlege of the inner workings of vbulletin are fairly limited.

can anyone help clarify where to put the stuff from the readme into my own files? im all kinds of lost here.

thanks!!!

on edit: I really like the inteface of this system and am really looking forward to getting it going. Just a little frustrated

Is it my imagination or what? When I go to edit a song, all there is is the song name and genre. The file itself does not show.

Please see screenshot. The version says 1.0. The file that I just downloaded says 2.30. When I try to re-install, it tells me that I have version 2.0 and the file itself is 2.0 and will not install.

Back to the edit, I could have swear that I used to edit before.
