What this is and does
LDM is a general-purpose tool for managing libraries of links and files, and handling uploads and downloads in a flexible way, while tracking and control user access. It has a range of integrated media players and a large library of 'plugin' extras.
Installation and Usage Explained in the on-line Wiki, with a brief explanation in the file instructions.txt in the release zip. The recent revision history is given in the first post of this thread.
Please use carefully and always backup your database before upgrading. Post reports of problems and suggestions for enhancements in this thread.
14.06.09 Version 2.3.0 is now the the officially-supported version. Works with 3.7 and vb 3.8. Please post comments in this thread
22.06.08 Version 2.2.9-post1 - This is the previous supported version. Works fine with all versions of vb 3.6 and vb 3.7. All standard features except profile integration and forum prefix selection work fine with vb 3.8.

With the current version of JWPlayer, there is a problem in IE 6 + IE 7. When returning to an embedded audio page after the first visit, the whole player becomes blank / black (but it appears correctly on the first visit). I have seen this on two different PCs, one with IE7 and one in IE6, but the problem doesn't exist in Firefox.
Here is an image to show the blank player:
I'm just hoping that the problem goes away with the new version of JWPlayer.

Yes - this is a known caching problem with Flash + IE, not JW player. I thought that I had got round it with the LDM implementation.
Is there a way to prevent IE from caching the player (from server-end, not client-end)? Perhaps there's something about it on Microsoft's support pages...

I've spent many hours on this. It is a well-documented bug. You are welcome to try to find a different solution and let me know!
Well I'd be very happy to accept your solution (using LDM implementation) but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working for me
Do you think in the next version of JWPlayer the caching problem in LDM will go away?
All we can do is try. I'm in the office at the moment so can't test it. As I said, it's a problem in flash not in jwplayer, but perhaps jw has found a way round it.

Howdy! I'll start off by saying I love this mod...
With that said tho, I've run into a recent issue with upload permissions. Seems only Administrators can upload unrestricted file sizes now. Everybody else gets a security token error, and can't upload.
I've gone thru each and every usergroup permission for LDM, and everything LOOKS ok... it was working before the latest vb security patch...
Anybody else having a problem w/ uploads? I use it to manage a community depot for source engine map files (upwards of 50 megs per file), and it kinda kills the community when they can't upload. I'm at a total loss as to what exactly the problem is now.
I can't really help without access to your site. If you want me to take a look, send me a PM with site details and two usernames/passwords - an admin and a user affected by the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I think I know what the problem is, but will have to work out a new solution.
Probably, you are using the flash-based swfuploader addon. I suspect that it works ok with Internet Explorer and fails with Firefox and other browsers.
There is a known bug with flash, which always sets cookies for internet explorer rather than the browser that is actually being used. I had written a workaround, which the latest security fixes from vb seem to have broken.
Bug report: JWPlayer can play mp4 & m4v files when viewing the entry itself, but the player does not show when viewing a category's list of entries. It should show the player for mp4 & m4v files because the same player shows for flv, swf, & mp3 files when viewing a category's list of entries. Andrew, I can help fix this bug if you can advise me which file/ where to edit?
