pardon my ignorance but i installed everything properly and it works fine in vb 3.6.4, but when i did the cmps install, i can't get it to do anything but what it says below:

The template code uses the supplied flashobject.js to call the xeon flash player, this fixes the issue with view the player in Internet Explorer 6.0 and above. There is some text in the code “Warning!!! To view this vbMp3 Player please enable JavaScript and Flash! “, this will only display if a person views your site with javascript and flash disabled. You can change this line of text to what you would like to display to visitors. The flashobject.js file will detect if the person has javascript and flash enabled, and will either display the text or the mp3 player automatically

anyone have any tips?

I'm assuming you have the vBa CMPS installed outside your forum 'ROOT', therefore the paths will be incorrect.

There are 2 file calls in the CMPS coding, namely flashobject.js and the xeon_mp3_beta.swf - if you prepend both these files with the full url, then that should fix this problem.

Installed and playing songs fine.... only thing is it doesnt show any more than 10 songs in each playlist for me - and there are 30 or more?
Anyone help me there with that?
Also - not sure if its a bug, but if you drag the play position seek bar to more than 1/2 way, it moves straight on to the next song in the playlist...
A very nice mod - the members love it

That's something I've not come across before... But I'll run a few tests.

Make sure all your mp3's do not have varying bitrates - this causes problems within flash files, from tracks not playing at correct speeds to seek bar acting abnormally.

This is so awesome! Installed!!

hehe - that would be right - if something can happen to me and no else, it surely will! LOL ....seems to be my own "murphy's law"

The different bit rates thing is difficult to avoid, our forum is a "private" one therefore I dont have 'Approve New Mp3 Added' on.... how would I check the bitrate info of the songs linked to ??
thanks again - great support too cheers

hehe... and I thought I was the only one with my own 'Murphys Law'

I'll look up a few free utilities that do this, some allow you to change the bitrate. However, mp3 bitrates cannot be changed server-side - unless there's a script out there I haven't seen yet. lol

I'll check back on this tomorrow, 2am here in the UK and I need some sleep.

Support should be a priority on any modifcation! Well, mine anyway!

Is it possible put a limit on who uploads what?

Example: I only want each user to be able to upload 1 MP3. When they upload a 2nd one .. it overwrites the 1st. So .. each user can have their favorite MP3 of the moment uploaded to the player. (and .. hopefully .. it will display the username beside the song or something)

If its not possible right now .. will it be possible in the near future?

There is a bug on the non shuffle player, when i click on the playlist then click again, all the tracks show up twice.. and if you keep clicking it keeps coming up more

[KiwiInsanity]

Just to let you know mate - fixed the probs of not displaying more than 10 - it appears some of the songs added which have "character accents" in the names also does strange things
I did see the single/double quotes thing are a known bug, so I know you'll be looking at issues of filtering input anyway, hope this helps a little along the way.
heres some of the ones that were causing probs.
(as if blank spaces werent bad enough!)

/07%20-%20Estoy%20Aqu%ed.mp3', 'true', 0, 'Shakira,Estoy Aquí.', 1);
/06%20-%20Inevitable.mp3', 'true', 0, 'Shakira, Inevitable', 1);
/05%20-%20Ciega,%20Sordomuda.mp3', 'true', 0, 'Shakira, Ciega,Sordomuda', 1);
/04%20-%20Moscas%20en%20la%20Casa.mp3', 'true', 0, 'Shakira,MoscasenlaCasa.', 1);
/03%20-%20D%f3nde%20Est%e1n%20Los%20Ladrones.mp3', 'true', 0, 'Shakira,DóndeEstánLosLadrones', 1);
/02%20-%20Si%20te%20Vas.mp3', 'true', 0, 'Shakira,Si-te-Vas', 1);

fixing this also seemed to stop the glitch of jumping to next track if the seek bar was dragged along past halfway..

Anyway - just thought I'd post this in case it helps with your debugging
cheers syrus

This was mentioned in a previous post - I need to update the main post. Flash doesn't parse the urls correctly if they contain 'white space' so it gets converted, which causes many problems.

Nothing is ever easy! Thanks anyway, Kiwi!

Wow this looks really nice and id love to try and use this.


ok... it seems i am the only one having trouble. I think i installed and uploaded correctly. I uploaded the MP3 and set the URL as
http://www.xxxxx.com/mp3/song1.mp3, and it plays correctly if i browse that page using firefox.

I think the player is getting a feed because it does say Song 2- Blur on the player, but it doesnt play anything. It says Total in PlayList 11) and the clock doenst move from 00:00.

The .mp3 works fine on my windows media player as well.

Heres the setting im playing it at.
MP3 ID---URL---------------------------------Streat-Buffer -----
1 http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/mp3/song1.mp3 True ----0----- Song 2 - Blur 1


Would anybody have a slightest clue what i have overlooked?

[seabiscuit]

ok. It didnt work last night. I woke up this morning without changing a thing, and its working now.

But now, the problem is that the track is playing maybe 50% faster than it should. Would i just have to reupload the song?

This is a sign that the mp3 bitrate is of an incorrect value, and flash cannot read it correctly, therefore it will play it wrong - majority of the times this will be the speed.

For mp3's to work correctly, I would suggest a 128k bitrate for all tracks. Lower than this will become noticeable on playback. With a 128k bitrate, most mp3's tend to be around 3-5Mb in size.
