Inline Concepta V2 Mp3 Player

Demo: http://www.digitalpo...ayer-75410.html
Please note the demonstration player is setup with specific custom BBcode to work on the website, to avoid conflicts with other products in development.

About
The new Concepta V2 Mp3 player is designed for use with any version of vBulletin 4, it is styled to compliment your forum. It supports new features including ‘scrubber’ bar, volume control with auto-display switching, visualize, spectrum equalizer, auto-switch from mp3 ID3 tag read to file name read if ID3 tag is not available, will read ‘white-space’ therefore no need to rename your mp3 files and more.

Adding a mp3 is easy as just copying and pasting the url in to your post, highlight the url and click the Mp3 icon within the vBulletin editor!

Package
Package includes Concepta Mp3 Player, Mp3 Tag Button and full documentation in text, Word and PDF formats.

Easy Installation
No template edits, plugins, database queries or product imports.

Important
This modification is not backwards compatible, it uses vb:raw tags which are only supported in vBulletin 4.x. We will release a vBulletin 3 version if we receive enough requests.

Installation
Upload all the contents within the Upload folder to your vBulletin forum root.

Adding the Custom BB Code
Login to your AdminCP -> Custom BB Codes -> Add New BB Code

Title: Concepta Mp3 Player
BB Code Tag Name: mp3
Replacement:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/concepta_mp3.swf" id="concepta_mp3" height="100" width="365">
<param name="movie" value="/concepta_mp3.swf">
<param name="FlashVars" value="&stream=true&vb4mp3={param}">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>

Example:

 [mp3 ]http://www.domain.com/song.mp3[/mp3 ]

Description: Easily add an mp3 to your post. Just add the [mp3 ] tag at the start of the url and add [/mp3 ] at the end. Now you can enjoy mp3 playback on any post in vBulletin 4.0.

Click “Save” and now you are finished!


Advanced Additional Settings Flashvars

Streaming Mp3 setting
The Replacement Code has been setup by default to ‘stream’ all mp3’s that are played, you may change this parameter to false if you do not wish to stream mp3 files.

vb4mp3
This parameter cannot be changed, it is hard-coded in to the player to read the mp3 file path.


You will also note we have not even branded this player, and there are no backlinks – totally brand-free for free!

Enjoy!

We have started modifying this new player to work in new areas of vBulletin 4.0. As soon as we have done further testing we will start posting new modifications that can use this player, it as been designed to be very versatile and work in many environments.

The Concepta V2 brings new horizons to allowing audio to be played directly from within vBulletin. Our aim is to give the player a few more options before upgrading it again. We do not just design one modification for just a specific purpose anymore, with additional coding we can improve how the modification works in any area of vBulletin, or Photopost Pro.

[Preech]

Thank you. Now should I remove the old version, or could I just update the coding with this one.

[EchelonOne]

Hi Preech,

You can remove the old one since it will just be doing nothing on the webserver. All that changed between the 2 version is the actual player SWF and the BBCode. I only left both on here with a workaround for demonstration purposes only.

[eksajlee]

Hey,
Before I was using inline_concepta_mp3_player and everything was fine. Today I tried to test this player and it was blank without player;/
I used same url to mp3 as before, and did exactly everyting from instructions.
Now I installed previous version and it works like a charm.

Any ideas what's wrong? I would really like to use newer version ;]

Cheers

[EchelonOne]

Hi,

The new version was changed slightly, if you look at the code you will see the url that references the main mp3 player is placed in the root, not in a sub-directory. Therefore, you just need to change this part of the coding and the swf name and it should function properly.

:)

[eksajlee]

Thanks for fast answer:)
I moved .swf file to mp3 folder and changed code for ./mp3/concepta_mp3.swf
Player is now visible but now I've got other problem (sometimes I had it with previous mp3 player)



I posted with this:
[MP3][/ MP3]

[EchelonOne]

I think issue is down to the mp3 file name, it is not parsing the file name correctly. Try renaming the mp3 to Nas - Hip Hop Dead.mp3 - see if that works.

[eksajlee]

Hmm..
Well it's not mine mp3 I just googled it :D Tried other songs but same effect.

Now I uploaded mp3 on ftp and changed name for talib.mp3



Still, same effect, no matter what I put there.

[EchelonOne]

That is strange... I will run a few tests to see if I can replicate the error - to be honest I have seen it once before with this player, but that was in the early stages of testing. I will have to remember how I fixed it.

I will get back to you on this issue.

Regards,

[eksajlee]

I sorted it out.

I changed option in bbcode for this addon:

Disable BB Code Within This BB Code: Yes

And now it plays both mp3's I posted before. Previously when I had this option disabled and I tried to edit post it looked like: [mp3][url]link[ /url][ /mp3]

I think it was caused by another option in bbcode section that you didn't mentioned:
Disable Automatic Link Parsing Within This BB Code: No


Only thing now that doesn't work is spectrum equalizer and ID3 tag (displays file name).

Hope that will help you ;]

[EchelonOne]

Ah, I see it was parsing the url inside the mp3 tag.

If the ID3 tag is missing it should switch to displaying the file name. The spectrum equalizer... now that's a new one, I never had that problem before. Are you using the latest flash plugin from Adobe?

Regards,

[eksajlee]

I know but the thing is that one of those mp3's is tagged but I don't really care about this;]
And yes, I've got latest flash plugin. Also asked few friends for testing and same result.

You can check it for yourself:
Talib Kweli - The blast

[EchelonOne]

hmm... I just double-checked I had uploaded the correct version, I did have a copy where the spectrum equalizer was not called correctly.

I have just changed a few lines of coding, see if this one produces the same result. To me its working fine locally, I have not tried it server-side though.

This one is slightly smaller in file size.

unfortunately same result as before.

[Preech]

I had the same problem. I kept *******ing. Than I just edited the post, and removed the url. Now I have no more problems.

[wendolm]

any chance of a full scale 'jukebox' where folks can add links?

[dilbert]

This looks like just what I was looking for.
I can't seem to get it to work.
I followed the instructions and made a test post, but it doesn't display the player.
When I view the page source, it looks like it should play.

[dilbert]

I got it to work, I change this: /concepta_mp3.swf to .

[dilbert]

Hmm, spoke to soon. It seems to work in FF, but not IE7 or IE8.
I have the latest Flash player installed.
Any suggestions?

Also, is there a way to disable the equalizer display?
