1pixelout player 1.5.2 released

Submitted by admin on Fri, 27/06/2008 - 21:36
1pixelout player 1.5.2 for J!1.5

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.


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 (11 Jan 2009)

This is a small core hack for Joomla 1.5 to allow plugins to be loaded into a custom module. /* * // Allow plugins to be loaded into modules. (Rostislav Palivoda) */ JPluginHelper::importPlugin('content'); $tmp_row->text = JResponse::getBody(); $tmp_params = new JParameter(null); $mainframe->triggerEvent('onMap', array( &$tmp_row, &$tmp_params ), true ); $mainframe->triggerEvent('onPrepareContent', array( &$tmp_row, &$tmp_params ), true ); JResponse::setBody($tmp_row->text); Place the code snippet into index.php file. This file can be found in the root of your installed Joomla 1.5. The snippet should be copied and pasted just after (line 82): // trigger the onAfterRender events JDEBUG ? $_PROFILER->mark('afterRender') : null; $mainframe->triggerEvent('onAfterRender');

Remember to apply this each time you upgrade Joomla 1.5.x

Big thanks to Rostislav Palivoda for the core hack.

Where is the volume control?

Please read this following guide to install volume control

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

Any way I can get this to work in the document description of docman files?

"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."

What problems or nasty habits are you trying to fix in this?

Submitted by Walter (not verified) on Thu, 18/09/2008 - 17:55

Sorry, but the player that I can download now is 1.5.1 version and not 1.5.2. Isn't It?

Thanks

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

Warning: Attempt to assign property of non-object in /home/readfrom/public_html/site/plugins/content/1pixeloutplayer.php on line 41

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

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?

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!!!

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

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

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 ...

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.

I am having the same problem using it on my site.

I am using firefox2

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 16/08/2008 - 04:07

I've been having this problem too.

Even on my joomla install on a local computer it stuck on buffering.

Anyone have a fix??

Am I the only person for whom this plugin does not work on IE 6.0? It works on Firefox and IE 7.0 but you can't interact with it on IE 6.0 You can see what I'm referring to by visiting http://www.crosswindlive.com

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...

How do u use it for drupal?

Submitted by duvien on Mon, 25/08/2008 - 23:15

1pixelout player comes bundled with audio module, see:

Module: http://drupal.org/project/audio
docs: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/audio

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 26/08/2008 - 18:14

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

are u sure?

Submitted by duvien on Tue, 26/08/2008 - 21:06

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...

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 26/08/2008 - 21:11

drupal is way advanced, but it has no developers LOL

btw, u got a vietnamese keyboard for drupal?

Submitted by Claudio (not verified) on Wed, 03/09/2008 - 06:24

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.

Hi!
I noticed that the player won´t work in IE(6&7) on transparent backgrounds(png) within my Joomlasite. Is there any possibillity to fix that?

Thx,
tim

Submitted by toshi (not verified) on Thu, 18/09/2008 - 07:57

I had to change to a different player. I have a transparent background as well and not working on ie. I didn't know that was the problem.

Is there any work around. 1pixel player is the coolest and we all like it.

Please let us know.

Toshi

Which player do you use now?

I have the same problem with 1pixelout player on a transparent background but only on IE6.
