Flash MP3 Audio file player module

[weiry]

Hi All,

I am sure I must be doing something wrong, but I install the module, input text into every field and select the file and...nothing happens! The audio file doesn't play.

Also, it doesn't appear as though you can modify the bar for the Playlist as I change the CSS values to fit within the constraints of the sidebar, but this part of the module doesn't change i.e I change the width to 200px but this part remains at 297px which is the default value.

Any help would be appreciate before I seek other avenues.

Thanks,

Weiry.

@Weiry,

I would like the module too, but I had the same problems - so I was looking forward to solve this. I found the way over the PlayAudio.js In this file you can change everything you want - not over CSS! See the line number 9 and the following code:

Code:

... '&showdigits=true&showicons=true&lightcolor=0xCC0066&backcolor=0x555555&frontcolor=0xFFFFFF&volume=100&autostart=true" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="279" height="20" name="AudioPlayer" align="middle" ...

How you can see - the width is fixed with 279 - so change the width at this position and you will get what you want ... But be carefully - for business you have to pay for the jw license under http://www.longtailvideo.com/ - I like this player too so Enjoy  

cheers

Thanks Andreas,

I didn't realize there was a license to pay. There is nothing on the AMASP page identifying this, so perhaps someone should add the information there just so people don't get caught out.

I also didn't think to look into the JS file - so thank you.

Whilst I can now style the player, it hasn't solved the issue of the file not playing?

I posted another thread and the suggestion was to convert the mp3 file to flv as this is more of a universal file type. However, I would like to get this module working.

Hi Weiry

You should have seen this on
http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/others/flv-player.php

The player is free for noncommercial use. Please read the terms of licence.

But maybe I should modify it to bold.....

My apologies I must have missed it.

Any thoughts on why the other mp3 modules don't work?

The Player alignment is hardcoded in view.php instead of styled in the frontend.css

Code:

echo '<div id="AudioPlayerAudio" style="text-align:center">

I removed the

Code:

style="text-align:center"

from view.php and put this in frontend.css:
#AudioPlayerAudio{text-align:left;} but I can't control the alignment from there.

Here is a nice looking flash MP3 player if someone wants to make a module out of it.
http://flash-mp3-player.net

It seems to have a nicer license:

The player is under the Creative Commons BY SA and MPL 1.1 license.
You can use the player without citing the author.

I have installed this module on a website, and theres some issues.

In IE8 the mouse pointer flickers when i hover the playlist, and there is inpossible to play the songs in the list.

If I use Album Thumbnails, they show when I load the page, but when hovering they dissapear and and the links start to flicker as described above.

I couldn't find an mp3 player that worked nicely so I added some power point slides and saved it as a .flv, uploaded it to YouTube and imbedded the code.

Seems a bit disappointing for all these players to be on the AMSAP website but none really work correctly. Happy to pay a licence fee for them, but I would have thought there should be a simple player out there able to be integrated into WB.

Is it possible to play the songs one after another? At the moment I have to click at a song the listen to it. But if I have a list of for example 10 songs I´d like to play the one after another.

I am new to WB. At the moment, I am using a flash player on my current web site. Here is the code:

<embed src="http://www.mcran.com/mediaplayers/mediaplayer.swf"width="375"height="475"allowscriptaccess="always"allowfullscreen="true"
flashvars="height=475&width=375&file=http://www.mcran.com/assets/xspf/itsnippetsxspf/b.xspf&backcolor=0x 9F9F9F&displaywidth=0&showstop=true"/>

You will notice in the code that it references an xspf file that I have on my hosting server that has links to MP3 files I have. Can your player do the same? If so, do you have any instructions on how ti set it up?

Thanks!!

This seems nice, but can it be made to start automaticly first song in playlist?
there is autostart tag but it wont do any good.

Hi there,

After a whole afternoon searching for some 'modern' music players for WB that was easy to handle the only I came up with was this one.

But as you can guess, it's not working as it should be. (WB 2.81)

It is possible to delete the uploaded songs but it's NOT possible to delete the whole entry.

Does anyone has any clue how to solve this?

Boudi

PS: It seems that no player for WB does the job right. May be an idea for a developer to develop this for wb? Happy to pay money for it.

I have made a droplet for this... I will look it up

Ok. Thnx.

In the meantime I'm checking a custom made mp3 player too which, if the price is reasonable, my consideration is worth.
