Path for FEED: ??

    Hi

    Thank you for a nice plugin. I’m trying to see if I can use it on my site, but I’m having trouble with the FEED: path.

    I’m running a webserver with a “/podcast” subdomain. It has an “/audio” folder that contains folders with mp3s, so it look like this: “/podcast/audio/folder1” etc.

    In the settings of your plugin I can define a path, in which I wrote “/audio”. When I add a subfolder to the path I get a listing of the files, so far so good. I can see the mp3-files in the folder of the subdomain like this “/audio/folder1”, that means that I can get a listing of my files under settings and I can rules out any permission issues that I may have.

    When I use any combination in the FEED: I don’t get anything listed.

    I tried with all combinations, because you said that it’s related to the root of the domain. eg. “/public_html/podcast/audio/folder1”, “/podcast/audio/folder1”, “/audio/folder1”, etc. Also tried with https:// both with the subdomain and /folder. Also tried with the full path of the server, and also with dots eg.: “./podcast/audio/folder1”.

    I have other plugins in which folder listing works, so there must be something I have missed, and yes I have tried to disable other plugins to see if they conflicted. I also use “_” for spaces, so it’s generic.

    Can you maybe elaborate how FEED: is fetching the filename? Maybe some links to the libraries you use?

    Thank you for your time.

    I may add that I scrolled through the forum and your doc-site, but I’m still in the dark with the FEED: path. I’m sure that I followed your instructions.

    Sorry to bother you with this.

    OK was reading up on php opendir, and I got it to work with: [playlist tracks="FEED:/audio/folder1"]

    Now it’s working with the playlists on the final page, though I cannot see anything in the editor under the visuel tab, which was my primary ref. If I go to the page it shows the player and the files in the folder and it plays them nicely.

    Think it’s the https://subdomain.domain.tld and my mod_rewrite which caused confusion.

    Thx – case closed.

    Hi FAF, thanks for posting your answer. Out of interest did you need to change any server config to get it going?

    I came across this once before but wasn’t able to debug the install, just interested to know!

    Hi again

    No I did not change anything on the server. The thing is, that if you do not go to the actual page to test, then your in the dark.

    I’m still trying to get some kind of ID3 tagging workflow going too, but it’s a little hard to implement. My files are uploaded from different sources, and “they” do not tag them correct. Not to speak of the filenames, which they use on Winblows, does not comply with my Linux/player setup very nicely. So that’s the next step, to make an ID3 editor, which writes the actual tag to the files and changes any space into an under_scroll. Would be nice if that could be done in WP, but people are running on different systems, so I guess that’s why nobody have made a solution for this.

    The site is not in production, still running on Drupal. Would like to move it soon though. I will fiddle with your plugin and test it further.

    Thx for the plugin and your request.
