INSTALLED! Works perfect even on 3.6.4

Looking forward to the development of this. A volume control would be good. I saw someone asked what this was based off of... The player looks exactly like the one used for the Wordpress plugin called "Podpress". I have begged the Podpress developer a number of times to release his plugin for vBulletin. One stop plugin for anything multimedia! Plays many video types and audio types.

This is off to a good start but needs to really bloom into a full audio plugin with similar features to Podpress.

Thanks for this!

I started poking around the code for attachments, and all the different hooks, but I'm at a loss.

Inline attachments insert code directly into the post like so:

[attach]XXXX[/attach] where XXXX is the attachmentid.

Well, I've done it but I think it will require a file edit no matter what. *sigh*

I had to edit class_bbcode.php and add a case for "mp3" and give the proper code. No other way around that, I guess. I don't think any of the bbcode hook locations can handle this through plugins.

can you please let us know how to do it?

I Didnt have to register to view the page... i dont need this mod, although it is nice, but nice video in the demo...

i want to use the mod. but i saw the mp3 players werent playing the music. whats up with that?

[Konstantinos]

1) does it support .wav ?

2) what do we need to change in the server to avoid php timeouts while uploading the mp3s ?

[Booyakan]

anyone know why the player would just say "buffering" and sit there and never play?
sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't (mostly does not)

Where excactly to i put the files to get this to work??
Sorry, vB newb here.

I just uploaded a flv file that I converted to MP3. It plays fine on my computer. When it is on my forum it plays to fast and sounds like the Chipmunks as singing... what gives? How can this be? How can I fix that?

[yotsume]

Sorry for the double quick posts here but I figured out the problem... crap converter program messing up the bit rates leads to the mp3 file playing to fast with this mod.

I switched to RIVA Flash Encoder 2.0 and it converts flv perfect to mp3 with correct bit rates. Files play perfect now. If you don't know already all you have to do is change the output extension with this free encoder program and it converts to that extension.
