[Plugin: Audio Player] Random player with automatic insertion

Can you explain where I’m supposed to insert my info? I’m a newbie so insight into where my URLs and titles go would be great. Are they separated by commas? Thanks!

Very interesting… Brasofilo, do you think this is somehow possible:

User presses play on the player – the player grabs a random mp3 hosted in an ADS folder on the site (5 second audio ads) – plays the ad and then plays the intended .mp3 audio file.

Basically looking to add a 5 second audio ad (chosen at random from a separate ads folder) before playing the intended mp3 file.

Thoughts? Is there another audio player / ad server out there that might be able to accomplish this?

Great!!
I unfortunately do not know why, it does not work ….. I have changed ….
here is an alternate version, modified by me

<?php
// file name 1.mp3 2.mp3 3.mp3 4.mp3 5.mp3 etc…
// modify range (1,5) ES. (1,10) if you have also 6.mp3 7.mp3 8.mp3 9.mp3 10.mp3

srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$fabio =rand(1,5);

// QUERY
$audios =& get_children( ‘post_parent=’.$post->ID.’&post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=audio’ );

// IF HAVE ATTACHED AUDIOS AND AVAILABLE FUNCTION
if (function_exists(“insert_audio_player”)) {

// BASIC VARS
$echou_ini = “[audio:”;
$echou_aud = “”;
$echou_tit = “.mp3”;
$echou_end = “|autostart=yes]”;
$counter = 0;
$a = array();

// GRAB VALUES AND MAKE TEMP ARRAY
foreach ( $audios as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {
$a[$counter][‘url’] = wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment_id );
$post_id_7 = get_post($attachment_id);
$a[$counter][‘tit’] = $post_id_7->post_title;
$counter++;
}

// SHUFFLE TEMP ARRAY AND PREPARE AUX STRINGS
shuffle($a);
foreach ( $a as $audio ) {
$echou_aud .= $audio[‘url’]. “,”;
$echou_tit .= $audio[‘tit’].”,”;
}

// REMOVE EXTRA COMMA
$echou_aud_new = substr($echou_aud, 0, -1);
$echou_tit_new = substr($echou_tit, 0, -1);

// MAIN STRING
$echou_final = $echou_ini . $fabio . $echou_tit . $echou_end;

// PRINT TEST STRING (REMOVE AFTER TEST)
//echo $echou_final;

// INSERT PLAYER
insert_audio_player( $echou_final );
}
?>

Can this code be used with the widget plugin that goes with this audio player? ??

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/audio-player-widget/

Can it also play from a directory on the server? Why does this player verify a music directory if it doesn’t do anything with it?

Would be cool to see the widget plugin just do the random and play it from a directory or an xml file.

Thank you kindly, ??

Yes this code should be used with this widget plugin! ??
Yes, can it also play from a directory on the server, also random: rand(1,5)->play the file 1.mp3 2.mp3 3.mp3 4.mp3 5.mp3 …you have to rename the file so!
you can change the number up to what you want. es: rand(1,100) for 100 song: 1.mp3 2.mp3 ………………. 99.mp3 100.mp3

I have my track names/numbers in a post…
[audio:track1.mp3,track2.mp3,track3.mp3|titles=Song 1,Song 2,Song 3|artists=Artist 1, Artist 2, Artist 3]

and I display the post within my header file.
<?php $postslist = get_posts('include=68'); ?>

How can I adjust the random code to work with that specific post?
Thanks!!

Is there any way this can be used with the standalone player? Or another version of this, perhaps? I would love to randomize the songs I have I have on my site using this player.

somehow, i was not subscribed to this post, ups…

ayllonda, how are you using it as a standalone player?

but, probably you’d have to insert this on your php file:
require ('PATH/TO/WORDPRESS/wp-load.php');

and instead of using $post->ID, provide the ID of the page/post with the attached audios

____________
nowadays, i would wrap all this code inside a function and place it in the theme functions.php
so, the code page would look like:

the_content();
printPlayer();
