[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

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!

What am I doing wrong ?
(I verified the chmod for mp3playlist.php and made sure that admin can add and play mp3)

Hope that this time you will see my question

Actually I did. I did not bother saving any tables as I had issues right away. I dropped the tables with phpmyadmin, reinstall the whole thing (xml), took care about the "right away" settings saving, checked the chmod, checked the rights, made sure it did not request for approval, cleared my cache, even stopped the cache (thanks to my devbar) same results. As far as I know, except for throwing salt above my shoulders or praying all night long I tried everything.

I can delete a song. I can add a song. I cannot edit a song in a playlist (name or url)

Can you PM me a temp admin account to your website? I'll have a quick look for you.

Merci beaucoup, a PM was sent.

Had no effect. Still won't approve tracks. And when I say I cleared cookies, I definitely did... Even reformatted computer and reinstalled XP... (Coincidental but still.)

Nonetheless I got it working by disabling admin approval. I can just switch it back on when I am not adding mp3s into the playlists.

However a new issue has raised its ugly head... A while after a track has stopped playing, a window pops up saying that a script running in the Adobe Flash 9 movie is making Adobe Flash 9 run slow, and may cause the computer to become unstable, asking me if I want to terminate the script. Choosing yes closes the mp3 player, choosing no leaves it be but the computer runs very slow.

Cant get this to play any songs. Check it out.

When I upload a URL which otherwise would prompt you to download the file, it shows up but will not play (this is the path from my FTP).

When I put in the HTTP path it doesn't even show up.

The 'power' button serves no purpose on this version, it is just for cosmetic purposes only.

See how you get on...

folder is already chmod 644. any other ideas?

Okay let me better rephrase the question as the mod isnt working correctly for me. Heres what Ive tried.

Installed the mod no problems. When I add a mp3 file as streaming, and admin has to approve the mp3 file first. Im not able to approve it so that its added to the list. When I click approve and save it still shows "0" and wont change that setting. Thus wont add to the playlist.

So then I try again with another file. But if I add the mp3 files with streaming as false then it adds to the player with approval set to no. It then shows in the player but wont actually play ( and yes its linking to the correct mp3 file ).
