Version: 3.0 XEON Player (Shuffle disabled) *Player Only Package* added.

Fully compatible and tested on vBulletin 3.6.0, 3.7 and up.

No example tracks are included in this version.

*IMPORTANT: About version 3.6!!*
If you have installed this modification prior to the latest version 3.6, it is recommended that you update to the latest version 3.6 immediately. Older versions contain a Security Hole in the admin section. All database errors have been fixed, special thanks to Code Monkey.

[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!

wow you're amazing! thanks!

What does this "mass populating the player" mean?

The ability to add more than one URL for the MP3's at a time. I have over 300 songs, and adding them is somewhat tedious when it has to be done one at a time. Copy, paste, add name, lather, rinse, repeat. LOL

But this hack is well worth it, in my humble opinion. :rambo:

Basically, if you had the previous version installed which used XML files to populate the player. then this is an option to convert them to use the vbulletin database. All the urls and track data needs to be inserted into this version manually, one at a time.

So, 'mass populating' can be done by using a SQL query, by entering all the tracks into a notepad document, and then copy and paste this data into either the AdminCP - SQL Query or directly into your database using phpMyAdmin.

For SQL queries to be done in vBulletin you need to enable this feature in the includes/config.php file.

Okay, you beat me to it! lol Thought you'd still be adding tracks...

I got 3 of the 5 playlists done before my eyes just would not stay open last night (or I should say this morning LOL)

I wondered about doing it through the database, but I barely feel comfortable with code... I don't mess with the database unless I absolutely have to. I am the only admin and yes I can run queries, I just don't so I don't break something. :up:

We can incorporate playlist naming, but this will probably be released in an update. As it would require code and internal player code modifications.

Or are you refering to the names it shows in vBulletin? If this is the case, it's not that hard to change, but the player buttons would also require changes.

For those interested, I have created a little PERL shell script to create the playlist SQL insert statement automatically.

Here u go. You do need to know PERL to run it

1. Create the file list

LIST.txt needs to be in this format
file1.mp3
file2.mp3
file3.mp3

you can do a dir or ls (in unix) and save the list to LIST.txt (or whatever)


2. Create a Perl script . Name it what you like i.e. list.pl


------------ cut here ------------------
#!D:/xampp/perl/bin/perl.exe  #update this to the location of your perl executable #!/usr/bin/perl or whatever

# Open file
$data_file="LIST.txt";

my $url = "http://yourmp3_files_URL/";

open(FILE, $data_file) || die("Could not open file!");

@raw_data=<FILE>;

close (FILE);


# Data stored in VB this way
#Playlist 1 = 'vb_mp3playlist'
#Playlist 2 = 'vb_mp3playlist1'
#Playlist 3 = 'vb_mp3playlist2'
#Playlist 4 = 'vb_mp3playlist3'
#Playlist 5 = 'vb_mp3playlist4'

# Insert rows like this
#INSERT INTO `vb_mp3playlist` VALUES (1, 'mp3 1 url goes here', 'true', 1, 'artist and song number 1 goes here', 1);
#INSERT INTO `vb_mp3playlist` VALUES (2, 'mp3 2 url goes here', 'true', 1, 'artist and song number 2 goes here', 1);
#INSERT INTO `vb_mp3playlist` VALUES (3, 'mp3 3 url goes here', 'true', 1, 'artist and song number 3 goes here', 1);

my $i = 0;  # or whatever you want the list to start at
foreach $line (@raw_data)
{
	 chop($line);
	 #Split name and extension
	 ($w_name,$temp)=split(/\./,$line);
	 
	 #build full url
	 my $mp3url= $url . $line;
	 
	 #build songname
	 my $songname = $w_name;
	 
	 #insert statement
	 print "INSERT INTO vb_mp3playlist VALUES ($i, '$mp3url', 'true', 1, '$songname', 1);\n";
	 
	 $i++;
 
}

exit (0);
--------------------- cut here ---------------


3. Run scrit and pipe the results

list.pl > list.txt


4. Run the the SQL


5. Voila!

sorry, I may be ignorant but can this work as a popup?
