Audio player problem with pinboard theme

Same problem here:
https://www.fumcquanah.org/2013/07/21/miracles-elvis-wayne-and-the-lord/

Can you try this. Under Audio Settings set the default value to audio/mp3 and refresh the page

you do have the same problem as myself chris. i looked.

thanks deanfp, i’ve been searching and i can’t find ‘audio settings’ anywhere. where is this? is it on the dashboard? i can’t see it, anywhere or a place to change things. maybe i’ll see it if i change to the twenty twelve theme?

thanks, joan

i’ve just tested that. and it seems to be the pinboard theme…. i took screen shots i hope i can add here…? i might have to add them to the post itself….here’s the link (will take me a few minutes to upload photos and add to post…

Can you post a sample of the code you are entering for the MP3 file within the post. The error is js related for sure and seems to be a bug in 3.9 and 3.9.1 without a fix as yet. Can you try this though

For now you can try to manually fix it by removing the extra code and changing the path to a link. For example, you might see a code like this appear in the text box:

[audio https://yourblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/song-12-04-20131.mp3 ]

You should remove the brackets and the word audio so that only the direct file path remains:

[audio src="https://yourblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/song-12-04-20131.mp3" /]

Then highlight and copy that file path, and turn it into a working link by clicking the link icon and pasting in the file path.

oh thanks deanfp.

here’s the code from the text editor

[audio mp3="https://www.joanwalsh.ie/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/40kbits_copy_rteradio1-tim-lehane-94.mp3"][/audio]

did that.
1. i removed the brackets (left the [/audio] = just showed the file text on the page and a player to the right.
2. i removed the brackets and also the [/audio] – same result – a player to the right and the file text on the page.
3. then i removed the quotes “” (i forgot to in 1 and 2 steps) and it just showed a black box full width with the words download cut off
4. then i cut it and repasted it in visual editor and got the player to the right again and the full width box with the download words cut off.

now i just have the full width black box cos i moved the text up. this is what my code looks like now in the backend –

i’m not sure what you mean by “Then highlight and copy that file path, and turn it into a working link by clicking the link icon and pasting in the file path.”

if it’s javascript related and a bug in 3.9 and 3.9.1, how come it works in twenty twelve theme? or is it a conflict bug between pinboard and whatever bug 3.9.1 has. oh. i hope they fix it wherever it comes from.

thanks for your help deanfp. i’m going to be away from my PC today and tomorrow.

oh i’ve copped on by what you mean ‘link icon’ etc, hold a mo. just done that.

i’ll leave it at that result.

o holy god..things happened, now for some reason the code has completely disappeared in the backend – but the player to the right is there, on the post. ?? gremlins..

What a pain!

Ok I *think* I have cracked the Pinboard issue.

Do this….

Install this plugin that makes the js error go away

Then delete your MP3/Audio file in the post and re-upload it in the same way. Then test.

Here is a snapshot of Pinboard 1.1.5 and WP 3.9.1

deanfp,

Thanks for looking to this. Using the MediaElement.js plugin did get the audio player to work on the post page, however, the problem has now moved to the blog/archives page.

The following link will take you to an archive with an audio post at the top.

At one time Pinboard handled an audio post-type like this quite eloquently. Now, without the MediaElement.js plugin this page displays no audio player at all. With the plugin it (using safari btw) the player is hidden until roll over and even then the player does not load or play the audio.

Darn…
One fix make another bug. I’ve been reading and helping other themes with errors like this on StackOverflow.

I think i’d wait until the next release of WP (4.0)

The plugin that fixes this is part of the WP code now. I had a quick look at deactivating jetpack did fix this issue but then I began to get double audio play bars!

Alternatively, and my suggestion, is go for a totally different and better audio player for your Pinboard site.

Here are just a few

deanfp, thank you so much for all your help with this issue, i really appreciate it !! i was away from PC for the last two days, hence ‘my silence’ ??

i will check out all your suggestions later. thank you ??

hey that mediaelelement j.s HTML5 Video & Audio Player worked ! though it only works when i set the post to a standard format and not audio format (get two players on the post then).

i’ll check out the other players you suggested. thing is though i cant upload anything over 2mb at mo :/ so mightnt end up using a player plugin much.. still learning i am.

thanks

p.s, i dont have jetpack, i got rid of it ages ago cos it was causing conflict.

seems quite a few of those players listed are non responsive, so that no good for pinboard eh.

You can change the attachment upload size by adding this code to you

Create a .htaccess file in the root folder of web server.

2) Put the following code in side the .htaccess file and save it.

php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
