[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!

Reading the new Install Instructions, I saw the new template edit, but I can't find where it says WHAT template to edit. You said in a previous post headinclude correct?

You might want to make what template is being edited clearer.

The backend appears to work properly, but I'm now having a problem with the frontend usage.

After 'successfully' adding 1 mp3 to playlist 1, I load up the player via the navbar and it starts up (more than it did before this patch). However, it says there are no songs in any playlists and presents me with a single song called undefined at a length of 0:00 (can you call that a song then?).

I verified in the admincp and the file is still there, but no dice on the forum frontend.

Using vBulletin 3.6.5.

EDIT: Problem resolved. I had MP3 Approve disabled in the settings (only admins could add songs anyways). I was forced to turn it on so that MP3 Approved could be set to 1. It appears that with the setting off and songs added through the admincp MP3 Approved is set to 0 by default.

The instructions I'm re-writing since they are out-of-date, but it is all there in the first post, including the template edits.

As regards to the undefined error in the player, please read this article. See if that solves your problem.

Also check the mp3 is approved, as the admincp setting is not holding this setting - this is currently being worked on.

Insane Mod! Kudos to Syrus.xl for taking the time to get it right.

[syrus.xl]

Thanks The Bish! There will be another update within the next month hopefully, that will mean this mod will be 100% bug free.

Hi guys, I have a quick question.

The link for my MP3 player will not work on my CMPS page but will work on the rest of the forum pages. I've added 'mp3playerindex.php' to the replacements list but it still doesn't work. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!
Sherry

Hi Sherry,

It's probably because you have the CMPS installed outside the vbulletin directory. Here's what you need to do.

Edit the code for the popup, in the navbar. You will see a line of code with this url in:
mp3playerindex.php?do=viewmp3playerpopup

Prepend this line so its the absolute url, not relative. Hence it will look something like this:
http://www.mydomain.com/forum/mp3pla...mp3playerpopup

That will fix this problem.

Have you installed the latest version? The product XML fixes that bug. It was a bug that appeared in a previous version, but I've fixed it in the update.

If you installed the version older than 3.5 then you'll need to update to the latest. The upgrade requires a full overwrite of all files.

woops...i see silly me will try it ..let you no
