Hello,

I have seen some free audio players which work neatly but some of them have the site link on it which cannot be removed. Can anyone help me on getting a media player for my website? I can't find any ones that seem straightforward.

I have a wesbite, say www.domain.com where I would like the media player displayed. I also have another website e.g. www.other.com where I do not use it for anything apart from uploading media files. I have a folder where all the audio I'd like to be played on the media player are.

How can I get this on my site?

Regards.

Anyone know how?

Hi there, you can download the following ZIP file http://www.broadcastforensics.com/audioplayer.zip

It's an open source flash player I used on my own website -
upload the files to a directory, you can then include the files in your website using the following code...

<script language="JavaScript" src="audio-player.js"></script>
<p><object height="24" width="290" id="audioplayer1" data="player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param value="player.swf" name="movie" />
<param value="playerID=1&amp;soundFile=filename.mp3" name="FlashVars" />
<param value="high" name="quality" />
<param value="false" name="menu" />
<param value="transparent" name="wmode" /> </object>

Hope that helps,
Thanks
Andy

Hello,

 
 
<script language="JavaScript" src="audio-player.js"></script>
<p><object height="24" width="290" id="audioplayer1" data="player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param value="player.swf" name="movie" />
<param value="playerID=1&amp;soundFile=filename.mp3" name="FlashVars" />
<param value="high" name="quality" />
<param value="false" name="menu" />
<param value="transparent" name="wmode" /> </object>

playerID=1&soundFile=filename.mp3"

Filename? What if I have loads of files. Please do assist.

Hi,
Unfortunately that player is only suitable for one file at a time...

The XSPF Music Player would be more suited to your needs.

Hello,

Yes I've seen that before, the one that can play many files.

Could you help me witht he coding please?

My site is www.domain.com

and the files are stored on www.other.com [as an example].

Hi,
yes of course,
download the extended version of the player.

upload it to your server.
you need to create your playlist files next,
create a new text file, call it playlist.xspf
Place the following code in..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
    <trackList>
        <track><location>http://www.domain.com/mp3s/song_1.mp3</location></track>
        <track><location>http://www.domain.com/mp3s/song_2.mp3</location></track>
        <track><location>http://www.domain.com/mp3s/song_3.mp3</location></track>
    </trackList>
</playlist>

Obviously replace the urls with your own links...

Then you need to include the whole thing on your page, you can use the following for that.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="170"
data="http://yourdomain.com/xspf_player.swf?playlist_url=http://yourdomain.com/yourplaylistlist.xspf">
<param name="movie" 
value="http://yourdomain.com/xspf_player.swf?playlist_url=http://yourdomain.com/yourplaylistlist.xspf" />
</object>

I hope that helps !

Hello,

Okay done the steps but it's not loading for some reason.

Thanks.

Hi there, If you give me the link to where you have it live, I'll take a look.

http://www.the-deen.co.uk - right sidebar, bottom.

Hi, OK, the code has been pasted wrong..you haven't placed an open object tag for starters.. replaced what I've put in the {replace} {replace} tags with what I've put below... you'll need to adjust the width and height obviously..

<li id="text-304858981" class="widget widget_text">            <h2 class="widgettitle">Audio</h2>            <div class="textwidget"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="137" height="170"


{replace} data="http://the-deen.co.uk.co.uk/xspf_player.swf?playlist_url=http://the-deen.co.uk/playlistlist.xspf">
<param name="movie" 
value="http://the-deen.co.uk/xspf_player.swf?playlist_url=http://the-deen.co.uk/playlistlist.xspf" />
</object> {replace}

</div>

replace it with this code...

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="170"
data="http://the-deen.co.uk/xspf_player.swf?playlist_url=http://the-deen.co.uk/playlistlist.xspf
">
<param name="movie" 
value="http://the-deen.co.uk/xspf_player.swf?playlist_url=http://the-deen.co.uk/playlistlist.xspf
" />
</object>

Thanks,
Andy

Hmm,

In the sidebar widget I did put the object tag but I guess it wipes it out.

I'll go into the original sidepar file and paste the code there.

Still doesn't work, doesn't show up at all. Very odd indeed.

I even tried doing it on a normal php file, not on a wordpress blog: http://the-deen.co.uk/aud.php but no results there. : |

Is it on your page at the minute? You need to be adding it right into the source, don't use wysiwyg editors...

http://the-deen.co.uk/playlistlist.xspf

That link to your playlist file doesn't work...

Okay I tried ipening it from the ftp and it said the following:


The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. The following tags were not closed: playlist. Error processing resource 'ftp://blahblahblah...

I put in a playlist closed tag and it opens but the actual player doesn't work.

For now just stick to http://the-deen.co.uk/aud.php as it doesn't show up at all on the wordpress page (index) but does in a spearate file I made.

You need to change the link to your playlist file to http://the-deen.co.uk/playlist.xspf

You've put list twice....
