Version: 3.6.0 coding (Major UPDATE) *see below
Version: 3.5.1 coding (Product XML file updated)
Version: 3.0 XEON Player (Shuffle disabled) *Player Only Package* added.

Fully compatible and tested on vBulletin 3.6.0, 3.7 and up.

No example tracks are included in this version.

*IMPORTANT: About version 3.6!!*
If you have installed this modification prior to the latest version 3.6, it is recommended that you update to the latest version 3.6 immediately. Older versions contain a Security Hole in the admin section. All database errors have been fixed, special thanks to Code Monkey.

[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!

Great Mod thanks for sharing!!


One questiong - Does anyone know of any good direct link sites you can upload your mp3's too?

I have a lot of members interested but our mixes are large/long and I really do not want to host them for obvious reasons......


Also do you still have the Commercial Version available? I went to the site but I could not see any relevant info on it, maybe I looked in the wrong place - I am interested in it.

Thanks again.

Change the relative url from this:

mp3playerindex.php?do=viewmp3playerpopup

To an absolute url like this:

http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/mp3playerindex.php?do=viewmp3playerpopup

Obviously changing the example url part depending on what your forum root is named, etc.

Hope that helps!

This helped with the Nav Bar in my Links and Home (CMPS) thanks for the info.

I will do some more reading and see if I can find a solution for the following but if someone can help I would appreciate it.

How can I make the Add MP3's open in another window when clicked on so it does not appear so small (same size as player)?

I have already played with some options but it also affects the player. I like the size of the player and want to keep it the same, just want the ADD MP3 to open up in another full size window.

Thanks in advance for you assistance.

only way I found so far was to right click and open link in new tab, for FireFox, or open in new window for IE

Just installed on my second forum and all is perfect for 3.6.6!

You Da Man Syrus.XL!

*Installed x 2

Due to numerous work undertaken I can no longer support this modification on here, and a few websites that are carrying it. If you still require support you can still get it freely from Digital Port UK.

There are updates planned, and further players over the coming months, however the timescale is very much variable upon my current work load.

Regards.

We love you, Syrus! Now don't go working yourself to death!! Take care!

[Greek76]

For some strange reason new mp3s that I add are not showing on the player itself. They show up on the admin panel when you view the playlists but thats about it. Any ideas?

[TXStar]

This is awesome, installed! Thanks much.

Any chance of finding a video player set up like this?

[richTV]

flawless upgrade under vB3.6.5

even the ol' playlists from the previous Xeon 2.0 version stayed intact.

tnx for this product Syrus.

[GrendelKhan{TSU]
