[Plugin: Audio Player] Version 2.0 beta released

Hi Martin,

I installed the plugin for www.ads-software.com. It seems to be working fine, except that there is a white box behind the player. When update the display options for the transparent background checkbox it doesn’t do anything. I don’t think any of the color options are working. Do you have a workaround for this?

Thanks!

I’m very frustrated with this plugin. When I try to add an mp3 to my post, I upload the file using the wordpress flash uploader. Everything appears to work normally, but I am left with this on my post:

Here for your amusement is a send up of all those initially pleasing, now irritating parody songs. Enjoy… but not too many times.

No Flash Audio Player. Is there a fix? Thanks.

So I understand you stopped supporting this player? It’s been quite a while now…

I really love this player and I’m using it all over my website, problem is there’s still a lot of issues with Firefox, which I understand you’re familiar with. I haven’t switched to another player because I’m still hoping for a new version – the question is – are you working on one? You don’t owe us anything and it’s totaly cool if you’re not gonna issue a fixed version, but I would really like to know if I should wait or not… Thanks!

I came across an issue with the player not playing a song or audio clip when the player wasn’t visible whether another window covered it, or it was in a different tab, or if I had moved it off the screen. For me, I was dynamically loading songs in a playlist built out of Javascript (edited the AS a little bit to throw a callback when a song had ended). The problem was it wasn’t playing the next track until the player was ‘visible’. So I would either have to scroll the page back up, or go to the tab that was playing the audio track, or un-minimizing it. I originally thought it was an issue with swfobject…I used swfobject to play a movie that had an embedded audio clip. Worked fine. So I thought it was the WP Audio Player, and was certain when I found this comment by the author

Well, I found an issue, maybe not directly related to Roman’s problem, but close enough. In Martin’s Audio-player-uncompressed.js code, if you scroll down to line 43, you’ll see a conditional appending wmode if transparent bg is set to yes or no. If you don’t set this, wmode is still one of the params. Go to line 50 and comment out the

flashParams.wmode = "opaque";

this renders the transparent background deal useless…but (for me) it beats having audio cut out every time I’m not on the page, so I’ll deal with it.

TLDR

Go to audio-player-uncompressed.js and comment out line 50
change

flashParams.wmode = "opaque";

to

//flashParams.wmode = "opaque";

Hope this helps anyone with frustrating problems ??

Forgot to add…that if you do use background transparency…I haven’t come up with a fix, as it relies on the wmode parameter. Be sure that you remove that line in your Audioplayer.setup or Audioplayer.embed where it says “transparentpagebg”. If you don’t have a param there, then follow the steps above ^^

The audio player 2.0 plugin is great, but it would be nice if the javascript additions to the header could figure out if it were called via https:// or https:// and link appropriately. Otherwise, people get a “Secure and Insecure items” error on load in https:// SSL mode.

Thanks!

My audio sounds like crap when I try to play it with the player. Sounds fine when I play it directly from the source. Anyone else getting this problem?

Re: my post 30 seconds ago, I re-encoded my MP3 with Garage Band and now it sounds okay.

Thanks so much tomgf!!!

There were a few who were having problems and were confused by tomgf’s instructions…

His first code REPLACES the code that begins with

if ($post->post_mime_type == 'audio/mpeg

Then scroll down a bit until you come to the function AudioPlayer.
Just below the call to the function, you will see severaladd_filter’s

Somewhere in that, add the filter from his second code,

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

Last, scroll down a bit more and add his last bit of code just before the code

/**
		 * Adds Audio Player options tab to admin menu
		 */

Walla… Thanks again tomgf!

thestooge1 – thanks for that and thanks to tomgf for the code to make it work. Minor point, as there’s now two Audio Player buttons in the add media files screen, what would you have to delete to get rid of the first one?

i’m so confused as to why the player is not showing up. i’m using the sermon browser plugin as well. i did this for another church’s site and it worked. as far as i know, i haven’t done anything differently. here is the link:

Thanks thestooge1, I’ve got it working now! And thanks tomgf for the code. Like pinkbeats I now have two buttons, which is not a huge deal, but yeah, if anyone figures out how delete the other one, please post!

I have a similar problem to a reply ages ago, but I keep having this message that says I don’t have Flash 9+ but I’ve uninstalled and installed the Flash player multiple times and even restarted my computer. The audio just refuses to show up. Is there anyway I can resolve this error?

Hello! I am having a problem with text after the plugin. On the page is says:
“here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

“>“
Anyone know a way to fix? The page is below.

am having a problem with the install of 2.0, and am not really too sfift with this in the first place . . .

first, i believe the install is correct. however, when i upload an audio file, it uploads to an ‘uploads’ folder nested within the wp-content folder. i have an ‘audio’ folder higher up in the directory, but uploaded files never end up there.

second, whe i do insert an audio link into a post, it does find the audio . . . but opens up a new window that plays the file with a standard quicktime player.

third, i started this blog to show digital art. a new post shows the art in large scale at screen left. when trying to set up a post about audio, i get what looks like a 100 px square. what am i missing there?

sorry . . . newbie stuff and feelin kinda dense.
