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:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>

Above add:

Code:

<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:

Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

After add:

Code:

<!-- 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!

That looks like a problem with a javascript call is missing to flashobject.js file or this file is not uploaded. Have the person that installed this modification to check that all javascript calls are correctly coded in the right templates.

With respect to a manual, one was never produced as such - mainly because it is just a simple modification once installed.

A few tips to get you started:
1. Go to Usergroups -> Edit Usergroup you wish the player permissions to be set for (normally Admin first, so you can check it all works).
2. Add a mp3 track by clicking on Add to Playlist 1, etc in the AdminCP. Make sure you enter urls of mp3 tracks in full including the http:// part of the address.
3. Enter a title, set Buffer to 5 (this tells the player to load 5 secs of the mp3 before playing, this is to stop problems with slow servers). Approve the mp3, so it will show within the player.

Due to the way Flash works, you may experience problems if you add an mp3 which is using, non-standard bitrates, this will cause the track to be played at a different speed. I would suggest using a bitrate of 128k and above.

If you still have problems after this let me know, and contact me via PM - I will set it up for you.

Regards...

Stupid question, where do we find and adj the bitrate? Is that done when the mp3 was originally saved or is that something we can adj manually?

syrus.xl · #**965** 03-29-2008, 11:35 AM

Mp3 'bitrates' is a value saved, basically the higher the bitrate the better the sound quality. Most mp3's are saved at 128k, this would generally give you an mp3 of around 3-4Mb, while 192k will give you roughy 5Mb or more depending on length of the track.

Bitrates are set when the initial track is 'ripped' from a CD or other source.

1 thing. I am unable to edit.

I am running VB 3.6.8 patch level 2. I installed the player 'Non-Popup' style.

Help?

Did you save the settings straight after installation? If you didn't re-import the product XML then refresh the AdminCP page, go straight to Mp3 Player Settings and Click Save.

If you still unable to Edit a track after this, Delete it and check you have entered the url was correct, including the http:// part of the url.

Yeah, I saved the settings directly after installation, per the included instructions. The urls(including the http://) are all correct, and the tracks play. But if, for instance, the buffer was set too short, or they placed [url] tags on it out of habit, I am forced to delete the track, and have them redo it. As opposed to just fixing it for them.

Oh right, to be honest I didn't realize people would place BBcode url tags on a mp3 url address, easy mistake I guess. I will look into this matter being fixed, the only reason it is set like it is at present is because of some Apache server configurations with the httpd service. We will look at a workaround on this issue.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
