Adding mp3's to this modification is fairly simple as long as you follow these simple rules. Most mistakes are related to bad file names, which are not recognized by the player.
The player will not accept a mp3 file named like this:
Living on a Prayer.mp3
It will not be able to read the spaces in the file name, nor should it contain symbols.
Renaming the above mp3 to the following will fix the problem.
living_on_a_prayer.mp3
Notice no spaces, we have substituted these for underscores. Making these changes will not cause errors when the player reads the data, and can eliminate most errors received that have been asked about.
You're welcome CM! Had to do a few tweaks, and update the player. I actually released it on vBulletin.org, then I came straight here to release it. Haven't had time to release it on my site yet.
just wondering how this is compliant with digital rights ...
Good question...
Many sites that I've been requested to review its usage, are mainly forums that are dedicated to music sharing between the members own music.
As for copyrighted content, this varies on a wide scale. Most countries do not allow copyrighted material to be held on their servers, but there are a few exceptions. Depending on how this modification is setup, to use internal or external linking - can become confusing, since you could have song titles held on a server where its perfectly legit to have or use copyrighted material, while in other cases its completely illegal.
There are so many regulations, but because they are not country specific it causes many 'loopholes'. Always best to read up on terms of using various servers.
Then again, there are many artists/bands these days that will give you permission to freely play their content.
So, it does have many uses - but how you use it is entirely upto the individual.
that's what I thought also, depending on where you're hosted... rules can be completely different... even linking to music is illegal in some countries..
Better have a good disclaimer in your script to avoid you being attacked in justice. I remembe sometimes to have read that providing the means is illegal. Like P2P progams are set as illegal though they are no more then a means and not part of the illegal activity....
nice work!
i've been looking for something similar! now ill download it
im making that "user of the month" competition where the winner can choose his own playlist for the songs he like to be played in the forum
i tried to install the player but i got an error
after following the instructions, uploading the content to given directories
and after adding the product from the admin panel
and adding the link for the player in the nav bar
the window pops up with a sql error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.2:
Invalid SQL:

I would try importing the product xml again. If that doesn't work then uninstall the xml and try again. Sounds like a table didn't get added to the database. Hopefully Syrus will come around and look into it.

He is aware of the problem and will be releasing a fix in the near future. Like most of us, he is overbooked with work. That's a good thing and a bad thing all at the same time.

Sorry about that... The part of the code that inserts the tables for the settings got left out. This was a mistake on my behalf, after doing an update on the product XML file, I accidentially missed off the settings table. If you had the beta version installed, then the above product.xml file does update the player settings, but doesn't create the table.
Adding mp3's Correctly
Had to do a few tweaks, and update the player. I actually released it on vBulletin.org, then I came straight here to release it. Haven't had time to release it on my site yet.
