This mod is "Re-usable Code", meaning you can modify it and release your own version.

You are responsible for the streams you add to your website. The mod author doesn't take responsibility for possible copyright infringements in some countries and with some stations.

Arabic and Chinese don't work with Ajax, so this mod won't work, sorry.

I don't see any of those edits in the code, do you know specifically which templates? Maybe I'm missing something?

hm not sure now if it is in radioandtv.php hardcoded... as website only appears when there is a website, so a code must do it

Hi all, does anybody know if it's possible to add additional "players" to the player templates, which require a player plugin install in order to work?

I am able to successfully embed sopcast, tvants, and tvu broadcasts on non-vb pages with no problems. The end user just has to install the specific plugin for the video to play without the full player requirement.

I'd like to scrap all of my non-vb pages and use only radiotv for playing video streams.

that's a nice idea for a update actually, let users add aditional players. not sure how hard would it be to do, also not much time right now for me to do it, maybe next year when I come back from vacation in february.

I'll keep a list of ideas to implement on next versions on the third post of this thread, I'll add this one to it.

Thanks for this.

I have modified it yesterday in our forum. If you need some information or if i can help you, just let me know.

Here you can take a look at my modifications: Radio und TV

I have added the station title in the META title-tag and the station description in the META description-tag. I have also modified the navigation in the plugin, so that user without js and the google bot can browse it.

If someone need the rewrite rules for vbseo, here you got:

// Radio and TV
'radioandtv\.php$' => 'radio-and-tv/'
'radioandtv\.php\?station=(\d+)$' => 'radio-and-tv/station/$1.html'

This rewrite rules only make sense if you modified this plugin like me, for user without JS.

// Radio and TV
'radioandtv\.php\?letter=(\w+)$' => 'radio-and-tv/a-to-z/$1.html'
'radioandtv\.php\?letter=(\w+)&page=(\d+)$' => 'radio-and-tv/a-to-z/$1/page/$2.html'
'radioandtv\.php\?letter=(\w+)&category=(\d+)$' => 'radio-and-tv/a-to-z/$1/category/$2.html'
'radioandtv\.php\?letter=(\w+)&search=(\w+)$' => 'radio-and-tv/a-to-z/$1/search/$2.html'
'radioandtv\.php\?page=(\d+)$' => 'radio-and-tv/page/$1.html'
'radioandtv\.php\?category=(\w+)$' => 'radio-and-tv/category/$1.html'
'radioandtv\.php\?search=(\w+)$' => 'radio-and-tv/search/$1.html'
'radioandtv\.php\?letter=(\w+)&search=(\w+)$' => 'radio-and-tv/a-to-z/$1/search/$2.html'

you just want the station title on the meta and the description on the meta description? anything else?

[GreasySpoon]

Yes, filled meta title, description and keyword tags.

It would be also great if this plugin would use urls like:
"/forum/radio-and-tv/1-powerhitz-radio-xyz.html"
"/forum/radio-and-tv/category/1-jazz.html"
"/forum/radio-and-tv/letter/I.html"
and so on. Just SEO friendly.

And also dual browsing. For people with turned on js, AJAX and for people with turned off JS the normal way of browsing. Something like: <a href="/forum/radio-and-tv/1-powerhitz-radio-xyz.html" onclick="openStation(1); return false;" title="Powerhitz Radio xyz">Powerhitz Radio xyz</a>

EDIT:
And could you please put the JS in an external .js file in the next version? Just to keep the sourcecode clean.

[Dream]

some of the .js is created dinamically I think, if not I will

[Dream]

what did you put on keywords
