Flash player - the JW jeroen wijering player instead of xspf

[Toy Sun]

http://www.jeroenwijering.com/

Frankly, I think the JW flashplayer is better than the xspf player (scrollbar and progressbar). Has anyone been able to use this one instead of xspf, and if so, how do you do it? Should be easy because JW player is also looking for an xspf playlist.

thanks,

John

.......or lacy morrow's version of xspf: http://www.lacymorrow.com/test/

[Toy Sun]

It looks like his player will give me the progressbar I wanted. I tried to get it a few days ago and his server was down

Thanks for the help!

Morrow's player is very neat. I'm curious though, I can't seem to get skins to work when loading from kPlaylist (except for the default iPod looking theme). If I manually load the URL, it works fine.

Naturally, I had to go into the kPlaylist code and add a variable into the URL construction for the skin_url value, but that doesn't seem to work for me. Any thoughts?

[Quicksilver]

Ha, nevermind, making skin_url=/kplaylist/morrow/iTunes/ instead of skin_url=iTunes/ did it.

[jmelhus]

maybe you can post a simple guide on how to use lacy's version of xspf? And also how to use different skins...

[Toy Sun]

Yes, would appreciate very much some guidelines on how to do this...

Really, I'd love the JW player, but 'till then....

thanks,

John

Here is how I did it.

Step one: If you haven't already, create a file named kpconfig.php and put it in the root of your kplaylist install directory. This will make your life much easier in general for upgrades if you keep up on the dev releases.

Step two: Upload the player you want to use to the kplaylist install directory. For Lacy's, I made a folder called "morrow/", though you could also make one just called "players/" if you want to test several. That would keep things neat and tidy.

Step three: Open up kpconfig.php and add a line for the player-

Code: Select all

$cfg['xspf_url'] = 'morrow/xspf_jukebox.swf';

Step four: We want to create a new config variable that we can use to set things like skins or other variables for whatever player you want to use. So, add a new line and put in -

Code: Select all

$cfg['xspf_opt'] = 'skin_url=morrow/iTunes/&no_continue=false&';

Note the trailing & in the value. If you don't want to set any options, you can set this to null and/or leave the value out of step six.

Step five (optional): Add any other customized settings to this file. window_x and window_y are good ones. I also created two more that are xspf_x and xspf_y that are set to window_x and window_y minus 20 respectively to control the flash player and popup window sizes. My total kpconfig.php looks like this -

Code: Select all

<?php
$cfg['frontbulletinchars'] = 120;
$cfg['enablegetid3'] = 1;
$cfg['uploadselections'] = 24;
$cfg['numberlogins'] = 1;
$cfg['livestreamajax'] = true;
$cfg['window_x'] = 420;
$cfg['window_y'] = 220;
$cfg['xspf_x'] = $cfg['window_x'] - 20;
$cfg['xspf_y'] = $cfg['window_y'] - 20;
$cfg['xspf_url'] = 'morrow/xspf_jukebox.swf';
$cfg['xspf_opt'] = 'skin_url=morrow/iTunes/&no_continue=false&';
$cfg['xspf_enable'] = true;
?>

Step six: Open up your kplaylist file and look near line 14123 for the function flashhtml(). Change -

Code: Select all

$link = $cfg['xspf_url'].'?autoplay=true&autoload=true&playlist_url='.urlencode($playlist);

to

Code: Select all

$link = $cfg['xspf_url'].'?'.$cfg['xspf_opt'].'autoplay=true&autoload=true&playlist_url='.urlencode($playlist);

Step seven (optional): On lines 14126 and 14131 you can change the height and width values to be -

Code: Select all

height="<?php echo $cfg['xspf_y']; ?>" width="<?php echo $cfg['xspf_x']; ?>"

That should do it, I think. I always note the changes I make to the file in a separate mods.php file, so that after I upgrade, I can add the modifications back real easily.

[Quicksilver]

I just submitted some updated source code to them that has all the necessary changes and variables added in, we'll see if they put it to use in the next dev release.

Appreciated,

This is what I did to get JW flashplayer working. Works in both IE and Firefox

First I Downloaded JW newest player "FLV MEDIA PLAYER 3.14"
then put the "mediaplayer.swf" in the "xspf" folder. Then put the "swfobject.js" in the same folder as the "index.php"
Then changed these lines in the "kpconfig.php"

from this

Code: Select all

// size of window for "external" player
$cfg['window_x'] = 420;
$cfg['window_y'] = 220;
// edit this to suit your setup
$cfg['xspf_url'] = 'http://your site info.com/kplay/xspf/xspf_player.swf';
// enable xspf? Make sure the URL above works.

TO THIS

Code: Select all

$cfg['window_x'] = 420 ;
$cfg['window_y'] = 470;
// edit this to suit your setup
$cfg['xspf_url'] = 'xspf/mediaplayer.swf';
// enable xspf? Make sure the URL above works.

NOTE: on the above line "$cfg['xspf_url'] = 'xspf/mediaplayer.swf';" in the code, leave the "http://your site info.com" off of it. The reason is if you have it set as "http://your site info.com" and you go to your site via "http://WWW.your site info.com" the file will not play with 'FireFox'. It works fine with IE. Weird, took me 2 days to figure that out.

Then in the "index.php"
I changed

this

Code: Select all

               $this->data .= '<track>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '<location>'.$url.'</location>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '<creator>'.$f2->id3['artist'].'</creator>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '<album>'.$f2->id3['album'].'</album>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '<title>'.$f2->gentitle(array('title')).'</title>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '<annotation>'.$f2->gentitle(array('artist', 'title')).'</annotation>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '<duration>'.vernum($f2->id3['lengths']).'</duration>'.$this->crlf;
               $kpi = new kpimage(false, $f2->drive, $f2->relativepath);
               if ($kpi->find())
               {
                  $kpi->resize();
                  $imgurl = $kpi->geturl(true);
               } else $imgurl = '';
               $this->data .= '<image>'.$imgurl.'</image>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '<info></info>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '</track>'.$this->crlf;
            }
         }
      }
   }
   function flashhtml()
   {
      global $setctl, $phpenv, $u_cookieid, $u_id, $cfg;
      kprintheader('', 0, 0);
      $playlist = $setctl->get('streamurl').$phpenv['streamlocation'];
      $playlist .= '?templist='.$u_id.'&amp;c='.$u_cookieid.'&file='.lzero(getrand(1,999999),6).'.xml';
      $link = $cfg['xspf_url'].'?autoplay=true&amp;autoload=true&amp;playlist_url='.urlencode($playlist);
      ?>

The Player sizes and "s1.addVariable('XXXXXX'.'XXXXXX);" you need to set to your liking.

Here is a screen shot of the setup in this post



Hope this helps you get it going.
It also works on FLV's
Right now I am trying to get a DIVX code working.

Hi,
I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/www/users/toysun/kplaylist/index.php on line 14092

14092 is the second line of code that you suggested I replace:

 $this->data .= '<title>'.$f2->gentitle(array('title')).'</title>'.$this->crlf;

Any idea what is wrong?

thanks,

John

First try it with out changing any of this lines.

Code: Select all

               $this->data .= '<track>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '<location>'.$url.'</location>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '<creator>'.$f2->id3['artist'].'</creator>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '<album>'.$f2->id3['album'].'</album>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '<title>'.$f2->gentitle(array('title')).'</title>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '<annotation>'.$f2->gentitle(array('artist', 'title')).'</annotation>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '<duration>'.vernum($f2->id3['lengths']).'</duration>'.$this->crlf;
               $kpi = new kpimage(false, $f2->drive, $f2->relativepath);
               if ($kpi->find())
               {
                  $kpi->resize();
                  $imgurl = $kpi->geturl(true);
               } else $imgurl = '';
               $this->data .= '<image>'.$imgurl.'</image>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '<info></info>'.$this->crlf;
               $this->data .= '</track>'.$this->crlf;

But all I did there was



On my "index.php" that is line 11128


PM me and I will give you the url to the web site.

thanks
