1pixelout player 1.5.2 released

This is a new minor release - 1pixelout player version 1.5.2

It is only for Joomla 1.5.x (may work with J!1.0.x legacy mode activated though not tested)

Fixes:

Thanks to Nathan for fixing the amperand not being properly escaped.
New 1pixelout flash player added. Now there is a volumne control.

The track being used is 'Some Velvet Morning' by Lee Hazelwood.

Works with web browser:

Firefox
IE 6/7
Safari
Opera

Requirements:

Joomla! 1.5.x only
Flash plugin
PHP 4/5 (but only tested with PHP5)

Installation:

Install it as a plugin
Go to plugin manager and activate 'Content 1pixeloutplayer'

Upgrade

Uninstall the plugin using Joomla install/uninstall manager, and install this newer version.

Usage

Create a folder called mp3 in /images/stories/ or where ever you like. This folder will be used to store and play your mp3 from. Upload your mp3 files using FTP program. If you don't want to use FTP, you could install a text editor with an upload feature for media files.
To link to mp3 file type this in your content item (Note, a forward slash at the beginning of the path is not required): {audio}images/stories/mp3/your_mp3_file{/audio}
It is now possible to stream mp3 hosted from an external server. To do this, just use a full URL to where the mp3 is hosted: {audio}http://domain-name.com/mp3/file_name.mp3{/audio}
You can also change the colour of your player, see plugins manager's page for 1pixelout player.
WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT USE BOLD on the {audio} {/audio}
More detail about usage - see the plugin page once it is installed.
NEW: you can now define your own default path in the parameter settings. Note: if you do, you do not need to add the path in your content. For external files not on your own server, just type in the full URL in your contents, ie, {audio}http://domain_name.com/file_to_path/your_file.mp3

UPDATE (27th Jun 2008):
Sorry, i had to revert back to the old player (without volume control) as there were issues. Will try and fixed this soon.

When on the same page you have several comments audio, the plugin only works with Explorer, but not with Firefox, even with Google Chrome. This is a big problem.

The module also comes with the handy XSPF Flash player that is (by default) embedded in your site.

that is what it says in the docs :)

The audio module is actually way more advance than this player i have developed, and is highly configurable.

Depending on what your requirements are (complex or simple), i highly recommend you gave it a go. Of course, this would mean to try out Drupal as well and believe me, it's just as good as Joomla and at times, even better...

oh i agree

drupal is way advanced, but it has no developers LOL

I have the same problem as the previous poster, it is stuck on buffereing. Both on this site, and my test site, which is on my local machine and there is really nothing to buffer... I'm using PHP 5.2.6

Help !!

Submitted by Steve - Italy on Wed, 08/13/2008 - 16:22.

I downloaded and activated the player. But now? Should I create a new module? Maybe because my english is not perfect, but I don't know how to go on...

Wrong Player?

Submitted by Brad on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 10:08.

I downloaded the new 1.5.2 mp3 player from your site but got the 1.5.1 version of the player without the volume control. Can you help me get the proper one. I was so excited when I found this I had been trying to get the older version of it working from a manual setup and was going crazy. Thanks for getting this to a Joomla plug-in. It is great to have this ability on my site.

as you can read on the page, the 1.5.2 version has problems and thus the version is not available until the bug has been fixed.

Hi admin,

Thanks for your wonderful plugin, it works great.

There is just one thing, the plugin doesn't seem to work out in one of the modules; does it only work in content/article but not in say, Newsflash modules?

I cannot have the music player bar appeared in Top modules displaying News, whilst i used the exact same code and it works like a dream in the content of an article ...

The plug-in works perfectly. This is good for me to start teaching Options by using mp3 recording.
Thanks a lot with the plug in

That's very good work

Just dropping by to say that your plugin works extremely well.
Excellent job.

Error Message / Warning - Fixed

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 07/07/2008 - 06:40.

Hello!

I found a different fix as recommended by a different extension and now my error message, which really isn't an error message, is no longer displaying -- YEAH!!!

The fix:

Near the top of the 1pixelout.php code I added the following line:

error_reporting(0);

Love your plugin!!! Works like a charm!!!

Error opening file

I get this message when pointing to an mp3 file. At first I thought it might have been an issue with the file being hosted on an external host, but even if the file is local i get this error message. Any suggestions?

Error when using jcalpro & 1pixel

Whenever I enable the plugin, I get an error message on my jcalpro page that says...

It's weired because they seem to be two totally unrelated things!

Not functional in IE 6.0

Submitted by Michael Jenkins on Sat, 06/28/2008 - 01:12.

I had posted on the 1.5.1 blog thread regarding the fact that the 1.5.1 version would not allow you to click it in IE 6.0. The plugin worked fine in a previous version of Joomla, and it worked fine in IE 7.0 and Firefox. When this 1.5.2 version came out I installed it and have the same results of it not working in IE 6.0. Anyone have an idea how I can correct this situation. It is installed on a website under construction at http://www.crosswindlive.com

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please re-download the plugin. I've put the old player back in as there were issues with integrating the new player with volume control. It was a hasty move so i need time to resolve this.

Thanks
