MadGorilla Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Wow I tried this. But after I highlight it, nothing shows? 320kbps mp3 used. More info :; I uploaded the swf file to my forum home and uploaded the xml file thru the admin panel as per instructions. Went to make a test post with it and nothing shows. The player is in the drop down list :) Link to comment
Echelon One Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Wow I tried this. But after I highlight it, nothing shows? 320kbps mp3 used It should be highlight the link to your mp3 file then select 'Mp3 Pro Player' from the 'Other Styles' drop down menu. This will add the tag [mp3a] around the link so when the post is made the correct tag is added. Let me know if you still have any issues. :smile: Link to comment
MadGorilla Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hi, thanks for reply so fast. I do highlight the url, but still no player. I know it's uploaded to my forum and I know the xml file was uploaded. It just seems not to show on my site :( Link to comment
Echelon One Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hi, Please can you message me your websites url. I will check it for you, to see what is causing the issue. Regards. Link to comment
sadel Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 It would be very nice if you could make an mp3 player for the profiles where users can upload their own music. :) Link to comment
Echelon One Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 It would be very nice if you could make an mp3 player for the profiles where users can upload their own music. :smile: This is something that will be looked into once IP.Board 3.2 is released in at least a 'Gold' version. The current player was designed with simplicity in mind, and is not really suitable for any other purpose apart from inline topic playing. Further developments will be made with many additional features including playlists, etc. Link to comment
Timberwolf1771 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hey Echelon One. This file looks like I would love it, lol. I've downloaded it and installed it just as the directions said and I'm having the same trouble as Mad Gorilla, I can't see it also. Any help you can give me on this one would be great. Thanks Link to comment
Echelon One Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hi Timberwolf1771, I am assuming that you have your forum installed in a sub-directory, which causes the embed code to look in the incorrect path for the swf file and therefore fails to show up. I need to find a way of getting this to parse the forums url string, instead of using a relative path which would fix this path issue. However, there is a fix you can do for now that will fix this. Since, you have imported the BBCode XML File you will need to edit it and just add your full domains url in to 2 lines where the player is referenced. Edit the BBCode Mp3 Pro Player and in the Replacement code find the 2 occurrences of this:"/echelonmp3.swf" And change it to this: "http://www.yourdomain.com/path_to_your_forum/echelonmp3.swf" The 'path_to_your_forum' is just the folder name. You will find this in only 2 lines, so it is simple to fix. This forces the embed code to look in the correct directory, if the forum is installed in a sub-directory and not the webroot. Hope that helps. Regards. Link to comment
Timberwolf1771 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hi Echelon One, That made it show up, thank you. But now I can't get the song to play, lol. So I'm going to find another song and see if it's just the song. Thanks for the help! Link to comment
Echelon One Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hi, All you need to do is highlight the mp3 url, then select Mp3 Pro Player from the 'Other Styles' drop down menu. This places the [mp3a] tag around the mp3 so it will be parsed in to the mp3 player, when either Previewed or Posted. The full url of the mp3 should work fine, unless the mp3 is of a very low bitrate, in which case it will fail or sometimes they play but the Spectrum Analyzer will not work. Best results are from 128k bitrate mp3's or higher. See, if that works - if not try another copy of the mp3 that is an higher bitrate than what you are currently using. Regards. Link to comment
Timberwolf1771 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Right, I know that part. But the songs I'm trying, don't have the .mp3 on the end, though they say they are mp3, and it loads with them in there, but when I click the play button, nothing happens. I'm trying something different here to see if that works. Link to comment
Timberwolf1771 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hi Echelon One, I finally got it to work. Thank you! Great App!! Link to comment
Echelon One Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 It sounds like you are not using a direct mp3 link, in which case it will not work. The player works by parsing the file format .mp3 therefore if it is missing it will fail to play. Sorry, cross-posted - Great to hear! :) Link to comment
Timberwolf1771 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Yeah, I figured that was my problem, but I just couldn't find the song I was looking for to test it out, lol, so I found a site to upload the song and gave me the link and it works just as you said! Very happy. I've also registered at your site and looking at a few things there. Keep up the great work. Link to comment
Tripp★ Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Works even with 3.4.5, however big issue. If you have multiple MP3's embeds per page, it kills the bandwidth of whoever is looking at it (if they listen to the song or not.) and my site. It appears it downloads before you play, not when you click play. I know that means "Buffering" but most people don't have unlimited bandwidth on their Internet Connections. So I have to stop using it :( Link to comment
