Media Manager MP3 Player Support Thread

[Hellblinki]

Almost got it working.
I'm using v1.3.9e
the player loads, but doesn't seem to connect to the .mp3, the meters wiggle but no audio and nothing in the infobar.
Your player looks a little different from mine.
I tried all the players on the Premium Beat website, same result.
I changed the name of each player to playerSingle.swf after uploading.
none of the players available for download at PB have that name.
So, I'm wondering if you have an earlier version of the player?
or maybe I'm completely off-base!

Which brings me to this Question.
Assuming I can get it working, what needs to change to use another player? Would you just change the javascript portion of the tpl_modules_media_manager.php?

Thanks!!

1. What are the original file names in each of the players that you have downloaded?
eg. Player Single: playerSingle.swf, swfObject.js...

2. Where are you uploading the files to, including your .mp3 files? Which directory?

3. Can you post a link to your site showing me what the player is doing? I might be able to help you out more if I can see it...

4. The embed code is different for each of the players. I have only been able to get the single players to work on the music-type product description pages, but you can play around with the code to try to figure out how to get the multi-players to work... just make sure you have a back up of your original media manager files!!!

Thanks for your interest in this Add On!

1. The .zip from Premium Beat is no longer as described in your install guide. (unless I'm missing something!)
swfobject.js is not part of the package,
the sampleEmbedJavascript.html that comes with the package links to an external version.
I found v2.2 of swfobject.js elsewhere and put it in the media folder.
Check out what's available at PB now.

The first three players are called OriginalMusicPlayerPlaylist.swf, OriginalMusicPlayerPlaylist.swf, and OriginalMusicPlayer.swf

2.I'm putting everything in the "media" folder

3. Tried some different things this morning and can't get the player to show up at all now

4. I like the thin player at PB and the small players at these two links
http://www.alsacreations.fr/dewplayer
http://flash-mp3-player.net/
I'm really just hoping to have a play button that works so folks can preview files.
looks like part of your Embed code is talking to the player and some is pulling the link to the media from the php?
(I don't know much about code!)

Thanks!

You're right, the files in the flash player have changed... Sorry about that.
If you want the same player that I have, let me know (PM me and I can send you the files).
If you want to get a flash player from a different site, like the ones in your post, let me know and I will try to help you with the code. I'm not a programmer, but I just kind of played with the code to get mine working, so hopefully I can do the same for you.

Remember that I have only done single players for the product-type pages, but I have a multi-player on an EZ Page here. The setup for this multi-player is completely different from the single players because the multi-players "call" a playlist, where the single players only call one song. That's why I haven't quite been able to use a multi-player for product previews.

Just so you know, the embed codes for the different players have certain "specs" that are completely different. These are the size, color, "skin" number, etc. DON'T rename all of the players to playerSingle, just change the name in the code (if you need help with this part, let me know).

I looked at the source code of your site (from the link in your post) and the player is still being "called" but it's just not showing up... What did you do? You said that it was showing up, just not playing, and then you changed a few things, and now it won't show up at all? Did you move any of the files? Did you change the .htaccess file (see previous post)? At least your customers can still click on the link to preview the songs (I did that with the code on purpose, just in case for some reason the player doesn't show up).

Groovy,
My store isn't live yet, I'm still putting things together!
I'm into a mini player on the Product page,
I'll PM you about getting one of these other players working and we'll post the results to the forum...

Does this module work for the player that has multiple songs on it? I just downloaded the other day the player (before I seen this) and am having trouble getting it to show on my site. I thought I did everything right but all you can see is the code.

Codes and I just don't mix so if anyone has any help for me I will be so grateful! :)

Hi

I could use some help with this. I just created a new thread about it before I found this support thread. I have tried to integrate this into a new installation of Zencart (v 1.3.9f) but can't get it to work.

I have now changed the .htaccess file as well but that didn't help. I've tried to link direct to the url which contains the js file and adjust file names accordingly.

The test page is here

Really would appreciate any help as very stuck now and it would be great if I could get over this and onto the next hurdle!!

Thanks

Unfortunately, I have not been able to get this to work. Maybe someone in the commercial help wanted section might be able to help out, but I'm not actually a programmer. Sorry.

I looked at the code that your site's trying to pull up... I'm officially confused. I see that it's trying to pull up two different (but the same) players for both of the songs, but I have only been able to get one player to work at a time, and that was only the single players.
Unfortunately, Premium Beat has changed the .zip files, and so I don't know how to get the new ones working...

Do you have ALL of the files in the same folder? Did you change the .htaccess IN THAT FOLDER?

I don't know what else to do...

Sorry, Hellblinki.
I haven't been able to get any of the other players to work. I don't understand the codes for them.
I looked at the license information for the player that I have, and it says that it can't be redistributed, in part or in whole...
I tried...

We are probably going to need a REAL programmer's help to get the players working now... I'm not a programmer, just someone who played around with the code a little bit, and tried to share the outcome.
