[Plugin: Audio Player] Version 2.0 beta released

Hi!

Awesome plugin. No wonder it is so popular.

Until today I used Audio Player v1.2.3 in conjunction with Blue Anvil’s plugin WordPress Download Monitor (v2.1.3), using this syntax:
[audio:[download#33#url]]
This allowed me to count the number of times an MP3 file was played.
Today I installed Audio Player 2.0 beta 5 and found out it breaks this syntax so I cannot use it in the same way.

I am not sure if you are willing to invest time to support such a practice, but if it is not too complicated I would really appreciate it if you can find the time to fix it. The Beta’s new features are really cool and I would hate to stick with the old version.

Thanks.

@RadPoe:

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have found a fix and will include it in the next beta release. Keep an eye on https://wpaudioplayer.com for updates.

@dani_cf:

I need more details. First a url to your site would help. Second, can you give me a list of plugins you have installed alongside Audio Player.

Hi.

I love this plugin.
But have one trouble with endless “Connecting…” and timeline.
This problems appears in all installed browsers (Opera 9.1 / Firefox 3.0 / IE 7) on my PC (WP 2.5.1). When I click “play” button, music starts but in Opera instead of “Artist – Title”, I see “Connecting…” and can not work with timeline. In FF and IE I can do that but there is another bug: green line that shows loading status is always full (even if file is still loading).

I’ve noticed that player works correctly only if file size is about 4MB or less.

Is it possible to find out if this works with WP 2.6?

I’ve just upgraded my WP to 2.6.
Same problem.

I know you probably get endless requests, but here goes…

I love your player, and I’m in the process of migrating off of PodPress and onto Beta 2 by itself. I’m super stoked on the new features, especially the ability to have multiple files in a playlist. So, I have a question and a request:

Question: is there a limit on how many mp3 files/filenames I can pass to the player without it blowing up? For example, can I pass it 200 files?

Request: It would be amazing if there was a “SHUFFLE” option for the player.

You can probably see where I am going with this. Besides regular use in posts, I’d like to load up the player with 100 MP3 tracks and have the player play them while in a random shuffle mode.

Thanks for your consideration, and for all the hard work you’ve already spent on this plugin. You ROCK!

Hi there,

Great update, like the new features ??

Is there currently a problem with ID3 tags as all I get in my player is ‘# track #1’. My mp3 does have all tags in place.

All the best

Hi,

This plugin has to be the best I have come across for a music player for WordPress. Great Job!

For someone reason I am not able to get the plugin to work ?? I am certain it’s my fault but I don’t know what else to do to fix the issue.

I am putting my brothers music on his site, and have all the MP3’s in the correct “audio” file. When I play the song on the website it says “File Not FOund” on the player.

What am I doing wtong? It seems like the song should play fine? If someone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
JR

jrfarr, In settings / audio player / general do you have it pointing to your mp3 folder?

Good:
This plugin is brilliant. I love it.

Bad:
Won’t work in FF3 or Flock2 (built on FF3). Works great in FF 2.x, Safari, Opera and Flock 1.x

Using:

WP 2.5.1 > will upgrading to 2.6 help?
AudioPlayer 2.0b5

Flamini,

Yes, I have placed all of the MP3’s into the “audio” folder. I also check to verify and it says it’s valid.

I am using FF 3 so I am wondering if that’s the issue?

Thanks for responding to my question by the way. I appreciate it.

To add…

Using:
Mac OS X 10.5.2

Odd thing is that I got it working in Flock 2.0b2 (FF3 Gecko rendering engine) last night, but this morning on a different Mac….nothing.

chazbeaner,

Hey man, I am on a Mac using leopard, FF 3. I checked out your site and the audio player works perfectly on my machine.

Just thought you would like some feedback…

Thanks,
JR

As it turns out, I had a conflicting extension in both browsers and now it works fine.

I say again, awesome plugin. Thank you for your hard work.
