Add-On Releases - Inline Concepta Mp3 Player - XEON Series 4

NO LONGER SUPPORTED!!!
Inline Concepta Mp3 Player for vBulletin 4.0

DEMO: http://www.digitalport.co.uk/f144/in...tml#post198409

A demonstration of the "Inline Concepta Xeon Series 4 Mp3 Player" - allowing you to add Mp3's to any post! It is light-weight, and designed to color match the default vBulletin 4.0 style. Easy installation requiring no template edits or product imports.

We have designed the player to pull the file name and display it within the player, along with it's own equalizer. Simple one button operation. The player itself is light-weight, and uses only vector based graphics, and no bitmaps.

This player does not use the same engine coding previously used with the XEON series mp3 players for vBulletin 3.x. We have completely rebuilt the engine coding and improved it beyond anything released so far. The new "Concepta" range of products are designed from scratch and to compliment vBulletin 4.x series, using new coding, allowing us to increase what we can achieve.

Important
This modification is not backwards compatible, it uses vb:raw tags which are only supported in vBulletin 4.x. We will release a vBulletin 3 version if we receive enough requests.

Installation
Upload all the contents within the Upload folder to your vBulletin forum root.

This is where Flash fails... it only supports mp3 data reading. I have had it running with SHOUTcast streams, but that was not using the same coding I am using now. I tried using various SHOUTcast streams and variables with this version, but because this version is more versatile in other ways, it fails on SHOUTcast.

Guess we cannot have it all ways.

There are ways to switch players using PHP, if a certain file is recognized and then use the appropriate player, but this cannot be done with this simple BB Code modification.

Is it detect automatically attached mp3 file?

[syrus.xl]

It is designed with automatic priority switching. Basically, it will read the mp3 file specified in the mp3 tags, if the mp3 contains ID3 tag meta data, then this will be displayed, however if this meta data is missing the player will then pull the file name data and display this instead.

Hey Syrus,

You may want to check your ActionScript when you do your update, CS4 - FP10 updated is kicking out an error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
	at com.flashloaded.media.player::MediaPlayer/doPlay()
	at concepta_mp3_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

Anyways, thought you should know..

Where did that error appear? It looks like an error that is generated when the FlashVars are missing. It will generate errors if no variables are from within an HTML page, because then it would receive the null.

[ShawnV]

Its on your demo page.

[syrus.xl]

I'll add some extra AS to stop that happening. Just some default variables that need setting, before importing the flashvars.

cant wait for this new player..sounds cool

[chuckrobbie]

Well this version is not working on my 4.0.2 pub suite!!
I installed it exactly as you said

Looking forward to the new player! Hopefully that will work!

[milaszewski]
