[Plugin: Audio Player] Version 2.0 beta released

doryphores,

So I finally realized a good test would be with another theme, and it works, so it is somewhere in my system, thanks for the help. I also had to disable wp_head() because it was messing with my layout.

De-buggin’ time. I’ll let you know what i find…

Thanks for you help,

-Marc

@citypaper:

Cool. That’s good news (for me and my plugin anyway, he he). Hope you solve your theme problem and don’t hesitate to post your findings on this forum if you feel it is relevant to Audio Player.

Martin, keep up the terrific work. Plug-ins are what keeps WordPress so damn awesome, and people like you, who take time to not only write the code, but support the code, are truly a gift to the web development community worldwide.

Thanks for your hard work!

Hey Martin,
I’ve been traveling for over a week, so I apologize for my slow response.

It worked! I changed the PHP (per your suggestion), and the player is now functioning on all browsers.

I don’t know if this was specific to me, or could affect all users, but with wordpress’ known line break issues, I’m guessing it would affect more than jus me.

You might consider changing that code in the next version?

Thanks very much for your help!

Hello. I love your add-in.

I also use lightbox 2 to display photos that are clicked on in my WP 2.5.1 blog.

I have noticed that if there is an instance of the audio player on this screen, it will sit on top of the picture that is being displayed by lightbox 2.

Is there a way for the the audio player to not sit on the very top layer of the browser screem?

@craigsanatomy:

Thanks for letting me know it works. The latest beta already includes the fix for the line break issue. You should download and install it as it includes other fixes.

I think there will be maybe one or two more beta releases before i officially launch version 2.0 so keep an eye on wpaudioplayer.com for updates.

Thanks again.

Martin

@bwhafer:

Can you post a link to an example where this is happening. I think I know how to fix it but it will be easier if I can see exactly what is going on.

Martin

Hi Martin. We at neonotes.org (online soon!) LOVE your audio player!

We are using the standalone version and need to know if theres a way to change the actual mp3 without reloading the whole audio player.

Thank you!

PS: What/Where are the “Previous/Next skip buttons”?

@1988er:

Hi, glad you like the player. At the moment, there isn’t a way to load mp3s at runtime. However, I’m about to write a JavaScript API for the player so I’ll look into this feature. Thanks for the suggestion, I think this will be a nice addition to the player.

The Previous/Next buttons appear if you load more than one file into the player (now that I think of it, something I didn’t mention in the docs). To do this, you simply set the soundFile to a comma-delimited list of mp3 URLs.

Hi Martin,

I just sent you an email with a link to an example of my problem at the dot 1pixelout address.

Anyone else reading this forum, v2 beta solved my lightbox / audio player focus issue. Thanks again for the quick help Martin.

Hi there. The player doesn’t show up on firefox 3 (it simply doesn’t show up). In safari or ie7 or firefox 2 it works like a charm.
That and my biggest problem is i cannot align the player to be centered on the page. Since i updated from the 1pixel version to the latest beta 4 version all my player instances are aligned right. I really need them centered. Any way i can do this? Also i see the player breaks text alignment so if i have it inside a block of text it will screw up the pagination. Please let me know what there is to do. Thank you and good work on this wonderful flash player ??

@victorstan:

I checked your site in FF3 and the players work fine. Check that you have Flash 9 installed on FF3.

To center align the players: all players are wrapped in a p tag with a class name of audioplayer_container. Place this css in your stylesheet:

p.audioplayer_container {
text-align: center;
}

I’m not sure what you mean in your last point. Can you post a link to an example page?

And a final word of advice: I don’t know if you noticed but because you have a lot of players on one page, some of your visitors may be running into this issue (I did when I visited your site): https://wpaudioplayer.com/support/troubleshooting/

Wow awesome it works now, the players are centered. I might put the players viewable only by reading the full post. That might help me out.
About the other thing I meant that if i had 3 lines of text and a player somewhere inside those lines and they were all centered let’s say, any text that followed the player would lose its alignment. But now that I added that line in my stylesheet it could be fixed.
Thank you very much Martin ??

Hey Martin,

great improvement for your v2 mp3 player but i wanna ask one question. I would like to use it in my Shout Stream plugin which connects and plays a shoutcast stream but does it suffers from memory leaking like most flash players when treating a stream like a huge mp3?
