My thanks to Link for his one on one time in building the install files for the VB Jukebox

General Features

* The ability to play audio and movie formats - The script will detect both .mpg or .mpeg files and open the media player. If an audio format is played then the media player will stay invisable.

Admin Features

* Upload songs from your browser.
* Unlimited genres.
* Manual data entery for when the uploader fails or for large files.
* At a click will automaticly generate a new thread announcing a song in the jukebox.

* Usergroup permissions for:
--> 1) Who can listen to songs.
--> 2) Who can upload songs.
--> 3) Who can rate songs.

Front End Features

*Members can upload songs, these songs are not available in the jukebox until admin aproval (optional email notification available).
* Callapsable genres (only displays genres that have active songs in them).
* Members can rate songs.

Future Possible Functions

* members favs, this will allow members to add songs to their own favs list and if i can work it out i will try to make it so they can play their favs from start to finish.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOTE SONG HOSTING

OPTION 1

In the admin options where it asks for the folder name enter the full path to the where the songs are stored eg "www.something.com/music folder" NO backslash after.
The Downside to this is that your members canrt upload or add songs to the jukebox and movie files will not work.

OPTION 2
In vb_jukebox.php find each instance of

PHP Code:

$playsong = "$vboptions[jb_media_folder]/$playthisong 


replace with

PHP Code:

$playsong = "$playthisong" 


Then enter the full url into the song file field for each song.

Yeah, thanks for this one. I have a forum coming up that I might use it on.

A-Z navigation or categories would be nice. If you have too many songs, page could be long.

Nice hack, installed perfectly, one thing though...

how do I cut it on? "The jukebox is currently turned off! "

[yinyang]

is there an easy way to make it so only certain usergroups are allowed access?

currently you can set for:
freeplay for everybody
freeplay for members only
paid plays using credits (vb trader credits)

im sure someone will code an intergration hack so members can pay using uShop money


these settings can also be found in the vb options

Thank you, knew it was somewhere, just couldn't find it, workin fine.. I had just installed about 8 modifications, jukebox was the last to be installed.

No conflicts except with "who was online in last 24 hour" modification.. I don't know if this was a conflict with jukebox and that mod or not, but after installing jukebox it is not showing the members usernames that have visited

Also there is TABLE tag that has not been closed.. view http://digitalmental.com/bb/vb_jukebox.php for refrence, bottom of the page..

Other than those minor things A+

Thanks Again,
Owl
