jw mp3 player - how to install in Joomla?

is the MP3 player a component, module or bot?

- neither, its a flash script/movie

if you checkout the [url=http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_MP3_Player]mp3player page[/url] you will find several joomla modules!
please note that not all CMSystem modules have full implementations of the players or are updated to newest versions -
for help with the specifics of CMS' and modules youd better contact the creators of those...

Thanks for your reply...why doesn't the file play bottom left of:

http://www.diasporamessenger.com/

I just get a black box

Code:
<embed src="http://www.diasporamessenger.com/images/banners/mp3/mp3player.swf"
width="300" height="300" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
flashvars="file=http://www.diasporamessenger.com/images/banners/mp3/playlist.xml&
autostart=true&lightcolor=0xffcc00"
scale="showall" name="index" />

Here's what I did:

uploaded files to /mp3/ directory (did not include com folder..is it needed?)
created new module
inserted above code in module
uploaded module

Please advise what am I missing to play the play list

Thanks

@Herman - the code in your page is not the same as you have posted here!
in the code in your page you dont set the "file" flashvar - so the player doesnt know what to play!

Thanks for your reply.

I edited the code (see below) but it still does not play anything..what am I missing?

<object codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/
shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" height="100" width="200" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000">
<param value="http://www.diasporamessenger.com/images/banners/mp3/mp3player.swf" name="movie" />
<param value="#ff0000" name="bgcolor" />
<param value="false" name="menu" />
<param value="high" name="quality" />
<param name="flashvars" value="file=http://www.diasporamessenger.com/images/banners/mp3/playlist.xml&autostart=true" />
</object>

you missing path to files in playlist location element

you serve page from http://www.diasporamessenger.com/

so minimum you need <location>/images/banners/mp3/song1.mp3</location>

better you use full path <location>http://www.diasporamessenger.com/images/banners/mp3/song1.mp3</location>

@Herman - the playlist loads, but the player cant see the files -
(if you set the flashvar displayheight to some value less than height the playlist will show)

try use full paths in the playlist, like this:
<location>http://www.diasporamessenger.com/images/banners/mp3/song.mp3</location>

from the [url=http://www.jeroenwijering.com/extras/readme.html]readme[/url]:

always try to use full URL's (including the http:// part) when referring to files, links or images in your playlists. It will save you a lot of troubles with unresponsive SWF's or "file not found" errors!

Thanks for the feedback..I got it to work using this code from the wizard..is it correct?

<embed src="http://www.diasporamessenger.com/images/banners/mp3/mp3player.swf" width="200" height="100" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="&displayheight=80&file=http://www.diasporamessenger.com/images/banners/mp3/song1.mp3&height=100&width=200&autostart=true&displaywidth=200&overstretch=true&thumbsinplaylist=true" />

Questions
How can I make it play continously?
How can play more than 1 song ie http://www.diasporamessenger.com/images/banners/mp3/song2.mp3

Thanks

@Herman - do like you did before! -
you need to load a playlist.xml - the only thing that was wrong before, was the addresses to the songs inside the playlist -
so you need to edit the playlist, in a plain text editor, like notepad on windows -
(please see the previous postings again and maybe do some more experiments with the wizard)

to play continiously you set the flashvar repeat=true - from the [url=http://www.jeroenwijering.com/extras/readme.html]readme[/url]:

repeat (true,false,list): By default, the players will stop playback after every item to preserve bandwidth (repeat=false). You can set this to "list" to playback all items in a playlist once, or to "true" to continously playback your song/movie/playlist.

Thanks for all your help!

Hi,

I've implemented this player in my joomla-site, www.drivenband.nl, but everytime a new menu-item is clicked, a different track opens during the playing song. Could you tell me how i can get the player to continue the same song while browsing the site?

thanx!

Hello!
i have a little problem...
I upload the player and some song on my joomla web site, and i create a module with this!
then, i create a position to insert the player where i want (i need to insert it in some articles).
if i insert it, i see the player and i listen the music (the base music)
the matter is that i need to make several different playlist and to give it as option in the different page.
so, for example, i make 3 different playlist (each one with a different song) and 3 different page.
i insert the player in eache page, but i need that in each page the playlist change!
how can i do it?
thanks for the help!

i am from germany and i love your mp3player-1-1
but have a problem to bind the playlist to it.

how must be the playlist?

like this?
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
> <playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
> <title>The Adventure MP3 Playlist</title>
> <info>www.RSW.voll.in</info>
> <trackList>
> <track>
> <location>/mukke/Sam_Max1.mp3</location>
> </track>
> <track>
> <location>/mukke/Sam_Max2.mp3</location>
> </track>
> </trackList>
> </playlist>

and how can i bind the mp3player to html?
like this?
> <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
> codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"
> width="500" height="400"><param name="width" value="500" />

> </object>

see here the demo http://rsw.glumi.eu/mp3.html

can you help me?
i get the mp3player.swf from your site.

mfg RedSean

Consider changing to the swfobject v2.0 type of embedding code. object/embed code is becoming diffcult to use and requires the extra "Click to activate" nonsense.

okay thx but i see nothing and in the code are only the xml file but not the swf file with the player...

see http://rsw.glumi.eu/mp3.html

i dont know wer the player get the xml... nothing happens with my playlist...

the code must be

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="400" quality="high" wmode="transparent" src="modules/mod_mp3player/<strong>player.swf" flashvars="width=500&height=400&file=http://my.domain.com/path/playlist.xml">

http://rsw.glumi.eu/mp3.html there are the standard track in the playlist... i see never a other track

my tracks are ...
/mukke/Sam_Max1.mp3
/mukke/Sam_Max2.mp3

The playlist.xml must be like this for the mp3player1-1.swf

I try tu run youtube playlist on joomla 1.5.8 but unfortunatly it stops after every clip. How to force player to play next clip automatic? Here is the code i'm using:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="360" height="470"><param name="width" value="360" /><param name="height" value="470" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="flashvars" value="file=http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/2B864428F4EA92B6&playlist=bottom" /><param name="src" value="http://www.xxxxxx.com/player/player-viral.swf" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="360" height="470" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="file=http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/2B864428F4EA92B6&playlist=bottom" src="http://www.xxxxxx.com/player/player-viral.swf"></embed></object>

and how to enforce on player to not go directly to the file after pressing link button but to home youtube page?

I'm using same code to stream flv videos but still i dont know how to make a list of flv files like this one on youtube(without autostart).

If someone would like to help me please remember i'm real noob in it.

Add:&repeat=listto your flashvars in two places.

Define a displayclick behavior, a linktarget, and a link in your flashvars. See: http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/FlashVars#Behaviour

thanks lefTy I added "&repeat=list" and it works :)
As I wrote before I'am NOOB in this matter so I could't do the rest.
lefTy can you try to explain me rest like you would explain to medievalman how to work PC?
