[Plugin: Audio Player] Version 2.0 beta released

Hi,
Am using this player in a module ported to Drupal.
Had an issue with the player… seems not able to play all mp3 files. We had one that played fine in Quick Time but would not stop buffering in the player.
Has anyone run into the perpetual buffering issue?
Also, does this only play mp3 or can it play other audio files?

thanks
Drupal interloper.

is there a way to replace all .mp3 files with the audio player but have an additional “download” link beside or below? (like μplayer)

i have a site, which got converted from another blog system and the mp3s are not included by the media library but are hard linked in the posts. i would like to offer them to download and habe a flash player..

Sorry if this has been addressed before but, there is only one issue listed in the FAQ and I didn’t fancy running through 16 pages of irrelevancy..

First off, this plugin is brilliant, simple as that. My sincere thanks for the hardwork or the Dev.

Everything works perfectly Admin, etc.. Although when posting in a post, in certain areas only the text appears.

I have tried putting it in a seperate [div] but this doesn’t seem to help. In the top of the page it works fine .. in the bottom it just shows the same text. [audio:01. A Secret.mp3] THyis is nothign to do with spacing etc.. as this same [audio] tag works further up the page, just wondering what I ‘m missing?

thanks

Just so you know – The WordPress Audio player does not work entirely with WP-Remix 2.0 Using WordPress 2.7.

I know the player doesn’t work in Headers / Footers / Sidebars (Although it does seem to work in the WP-Remix Header) But even in some of the content pages it doesn’t work (The ready made templates) Whether this has something to do with the Javascript (tabbed content) that is being used I’m not that clued up on it to know.

..again I think this is singularly the best flash player available.

~ Note to Dev ~ Could you add an option to remove the time completely for when the player is smaller than 200px.

since I upgraded to 2.7.1 the players are not appearing at the top of my posts when I create new posts.. old posts are fine.. just thought Id pass the info along.. thanks for a wicked plugin ??

Hi,

this plugin is great work. thanks for it.

but i got a problem. when i have uploaded a file to the media gallery and then clicking on audioplayer the url-field is not filled out with “[audio:….]”. i’ve tested in firefox, chrome and ie7.
any solutions?

thx 4 answers!

ps: sorry for my english! ??

Hello,

I see that there has been a simple JavaScript API added since Beta 4. Does anyone know where to get more info on this API? I need to add an HTML link to fire the audio player for accessibility issues (screen readers do not see the flash player). I need to manually adding a link that would fire off a ‘start playing’ command to the appropriate player instance.

Any Ideas?

For some reason on the my page nothing seems to get it to work. It keeps saying I need to upgrade flash. I have the last flash installed on my computers and I have javascipt enabled. Is there something I am missing? Thanks.

Hi. I’m very new to all this. I got introduced to the website through iwebformusicians.com whilst I was researching flash players that play music on websites created by iweb. I’ve downloaded and installed the standalone (I’m assuming this is correct as I don’t use wordpress) beta 6 version of audio player and followed the instructions put the relevant .js files etc in their right place. Everything looks fine on the published site and the songs start playing no problem when the play button is clicked, it’s when you try and pause that there are issues, you can’t pause, even if I assign each track on a page with it’s own ID number etc, if I go to play a second or third song, they just start playing along with the first song i was playing, obviously a bit of a mess. Is there any html code I’m leaving out perhaps, or is there something I’ve missed?

you can see an example of what I’m talking about on one of my pages here:

Any help appreciated!!! thank you.

Auto-rewind possible?

Hi,

Is there any way to make the player go back to the very beginning any time it’s paused? So any time the play button is pushed, it starts from the beginning.

thanks, great plugin!!

P.S. sorry, I should have said: I’m using the standalone version. Also, this assumes that it’s paused before reaching the end.

Wow, neat plugin!

How can I automatically show a download link for each mp3 after the player?

I’ve used a function like the below before (although it is pulling out image links too, d’oh), which I guess could be hacked into the plugin, but I’d prefer not to do that if possible ??

function the_mp3_link() {
	global $post;
	global $wpdb;
	$attachment_id = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = '$post->ID' AND post_status = 'inherit' AND post_type='attachment' ORDER 	BY post_date DESC LIMIT 1");
	if ($attachment_id) echo '<a href="' . wp_get_attachment_url($attachment_id) . '">Download</a>';
}

I’m also having problems getting the track name to show…

Upload crossdomain file – done
Change option to check for crossdomain file – done
Check ID3 tags – done

Anyone have any suggestions? Hope it’s not a Dreamhost thing!

Idea – what about pulling the Title and Caption fields from the WordPress media fields and using them to populate the track info?

Thanks.

Regarding the Javascript API, the clue is in this file.

It looks like load, close, open, and setVolume are available from Javascript.

See this page if you have questions about how to do a Javascript call into Flash.

I was testing the plugin with WordPress 2.7.1, browsing on a Macintosh (both Safari and Firefox). I found two inconveniences:

a. couldn’t make it paste the proper code into the Link URL field using the Audio Player button.

if ($post->post_mime_type == 'audio/mpeg') {
- $form_fields["url"]["html"] .= "<button type='button' class='button audio-player-" . $post->ID . "' value='[audio:" . attribute_escape($file) . "]'>Audio Player</button>";
+ $form_fields["url"]["html"] .= "\t\t\t\t<button type='button' class='button audio-player-" . $post->ID . "' title='[audio:" . attribute_escape($file) . "]'>Audio Player</button>\r";
- $form_fields["url"]["html"] .= "<script type='text/javascript'>
- jQuery('button.audio-player-" . $post->ID . "').bind('click', function(){jQuery(this).siblings('input').val(this.value);});
- </script>\n";
}

b. Insert into post paste a link into the content

I added a new filter inside function AudioPlayer:

add_filter('media_send_to_editor', array(&$this, "media_send_to_editor"));

and then, this function:

function media_send_to_editor( $html ) {
  if ( preg_match('/(\[audio:[^\]]+\])/i', $html, $matches) )
    $html = $matches[1];
  return $html;
}

These two changes made it work as I expected.
