Audio Player 2.0 Beta FIX

After continuing to receive the “J.parentnode” error message when I installed Viper’s Video Tags and figuring out the problem was with the WordPress Audio Player 2.0 Beta – I needed to find a quick fix.

While I didn’t spend the time to properly re-write the plug-in, I did find a quick way to fix the problem. In the plub-in’s assets directory, you’ll need to modify the audio-player.js file. Comment out line number 6. Now, download the newest version of SWFobject from here (https://code.google.com/p/swfobject/downloads/list). Open the SWFObject.js file and copy the contents of this file into the audio-player.js file. Now rename the function “swfobject” to “audioplayer_swfobject”. Reload the page and that should solve the error message problem.

This is a huge bandaid of a fix, although something needed to be done. Hopefully the author of Audio Player will make the necessary corrections soon!

BTW – I didn’t proof this post in any way whatsoever…
