@drew
your site:
http://avplayer.webhop.net/cmsms/
is different from your path in the template, change:

Code: Select all

<param name="FlashVars" value="flv=http://{$smarty.server.SERVER_NAME}/uploads/media/{$item->mediafile}{$item->parent_object->parameters}"/>
to:

Code: Select all

<param name="FlashVars" value="flv=http://{$smarty.server.SERVER_NAME}/cmsms/uploads/media/{$item->mediafile}{$item->parent_object->parameters}"/>

That was it - it is now working nicely!

btw, would you now what video formats are supported by the flvplayer. Is it just for flash videos?
The flvplayer forum looks to be a good place for flvplayer enthusiasts but my French is not so good.

Merci bien

Honestly I don't know if it supports other formats, I have only tried flv...
perhaps someone else knows?

Once the avplayer module is ready to work it is possible to set some userdefined fields to sort mediafiles into categories. But after i finished to sort all flv videos to a group/catergory defining (b) userdefined2 field i am not able to set up a seperate list for each group/category.
The tag
{cms_module module="avplayer" what="mediafile" userdefined2="xyz" listtemplate="thumbnail" lang="de_DE"}
does not work and shows all flv videos.

Who knows how2???

Thanks

I just realized other options you may use to sort, sorry I did not get this sooner:

Order by field

Code: Select all


Let's say your level has a dropdown field named "myfield", and you wish to list elements sorted on that field. Create the following template (which I'll call "order_by_myfield"):

			<ul>
			{assign var="fieldflag" value=false}
			{foreach from=$itemlist item="item"}
				{if $item->myfield != $fieldflag}
					{if $fieldflag}</ul></li>{/if}
					<li>{$item->myfield}<ul>
					{assign var="fieldflag" value=$item->myfield}
				{/if}
				<li>{$item->name}</li>
			{/foreach}
			</ul>
		

and call it using {cms_module module="mymodule" what="item" listtemplate="order_by_myfield" orderby="myfield"}

I had the same problem. You can also use the tag for the uploads url:

Hi,

First I want to say, great module, just what I needed!!

But...

I have a problem with the AVPlayer. I am running CMS 1.7.1 and the latest from AVPlayer and it installed fine and I created an mp3 template just like the help mentioned and I created 4 media files.
Then I added the following to my page: {cms_module module="avplayer" finaltemplate="mp3template" what="mediafile"}

When only 1 mediafile is active it works great, the mp3 gets played.
When all 4 mediafiles are active I get an overview of the 4 mediafile, I click on one and then when I click "play" nothing happends...
I checked my page source and it does have the right location for the mp3, but it keeps waiting and waiting never playing a thing...








This: http://new.stellarexpress.nl/uploads/mp ... arfree/The Departure.mp3 is indeed the location of the mp3 and when I past this directly into my browser the song plays...

When I set it back to only 1 mediafile active (doesn't matter which one) the file playes inmediatly when I click "play".

Can someone please help me with this? I would very much appreciate it!!

Regards,
Kaylen

to play a single song then you would uses "what=mediafile"
when you use:
{cms_module module="avplayer" finaltemplate="mp3template" what="mediafile"}
you are selecting just one file.  I'm not sure how you managed to list all your files with the above...

to list all titles under the parent called "music"
{cms_module module="avplayer"  parent="music" finaltemplate=mp3_template}  (providing you have a parent called "music" )

then you will see a list of titles to choose from and when selecting one it will play.

or more simply:
{cms_module module="avplayer"  finaltemplate=mp3_template}
will list everything regardless of parent

if you copy the contents of mp_template to the final_default then all you would need is:
{cms_module module="avplayer" }
which will do the same as the above.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer, but I have tried what you are saying now : {cms_module module="avplayer"  finaltemplate=mp3_template} with the same result as what I mentioned in my earlier post.

I get a list of mediafiles, but when I click one and  it opens another page with the player and I click play, the music doesn't get played....

Any more ideas? Thanks!

Firstly, thanks mw for developing this module!

I'm working on a test page at the moment and have the same problem as Kaylen in that individual MP3s display and play just fine:

Code: Select all

{cms_module module="avplayer" finaltemplate=mp3-template alias=Druk}
but if I use the below:

Code: Select all

{cms_module module="avplayer" finaltemplate=mp3-template parent=Sieben}
to display a list of MP3s under one category (parent), I get a list of the files in the category, and when I click on one, the player opens on a new page with the correct title, but nothing plays. I also checked the source code, and the correct path to the audio file is listed.

Anyone else having this problem? I'd be grateful if anyone had any more ideas; thanks in advance!  :)

Paul

Paul, can you post your mp3-template?
or show a link to your test page

Thanks for replying.

The template is below, as I've removed the links to multiple files for the moment. The site is installed in a sub-directory of my own webspace while it's still in development.

Code: Select all

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"data="{$item->parent_object->location}" width="{$item->parent_object->width}"height="{$item->parent_object->height}">
    <param name="movie"value="{$item->parent_object->location}" />
    <param name="FlashVars" value="mp3=http://{$smarty.server.SERVER_NAME}/tursa/uploads{$item->mediafile}{$item->parent_object->parameters}"/>
    <param name="wmode"value="transparent" />
</object>

You can see a test site with mp3 files listed here:
http://courtenay.widget-it.com/index.php?page=avplayer-2

the mp3 template is pretty standard:

Code: Select all

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"data="{$item->parent_object->location}" width="{$item->parent_object->width}"height="{$item->parent_object->height}">
    <param name="movie"value="{$item->parent_object->location}" />
    <param name="FlashVars" value="mp3=http://{$smarty.server.SERVER_NAME}/uploads{$item->mediafile}{$item->parent_object->parameters}"/>
    <param name="wmode"value="transparent" />
</object>
As your setup seems similar to the above the only thing I could suggest would be to hard code your server name instead of the smarty tag, from:

Code: Select all

<param name="FlashVars" value="mp3=http://{$smarty.server.SERVER_NAME}
to:

Code: Select all

<param name="FlashVars" value="mp3=http://www.myserver.com/uploads/etc
This is the list_default I am using in the above site:

Code: Select all

<h2>{$leveltitle}</h2><p>{$breadcrumbs}</p>
<ul>
{foreach from=$itemlist item="item"}
	<li {if $item->is_selected}class="active"{/if}>{$item->detaillink}</li>
{/foreach}
</ul>
Also, my mp3 template is named mp3_template, and I have placed it in the page like:

Code: Select all

{cms_module module="avplayer" finaltemplate="mp3_template" parent="mp3player"}
I noticed your template is named mp3-template (dash no underscore)

Thanks again for your help. I've just sent you a message with a link to a test page. Templates and things are as below:

mp3-template:

Code: Select all

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"data="{$item->parent_object->location}" width="{$item->parent_object->width}"height="{$item->parent_object->height}">
    <param name="movie"value="{$item->parent_object->location}" />
    <param name="FlashVars" value="mp3=http://{$smarty.server.SERVER_NAME}/uploads{$item->mediafile}{$item->parent_object->parameters}"/>
    <param name="wmode"value="transparent" />
</object>
Hard coding the server info didn't make any difference.

The sound files are referenced in the page as

Code: Select all

{cms_module module="avplayer" finaltemplate="mp3-template" parent=Sieben}
And the list_default is:

Code: Select all

<ul>
{foreach from=$itemlist item="item"}
	<li {if $item->is_selected}class="active"{/if}>{$item->detaillink}</li>
{/foreach}
</ul>
Thanks in advance for any more suggestions you may have.

Cheers

Paul

Are you using "pretty urls" ?

View the source of your page that holds the list and compare it to the page that holds my list:

Code: Select all

<li ><a href="http://courtenay.widget-it.com/index.php?mact=avplayer,cntnt01,default,0&cntnt01finaltemplate=mp3_template&cntnt01parent=mp3player&cntnt01what=mediafile&cntnt01alias=sound-byte&cntnt01returnid=60">sound byte</a></li>
	<li ><a href="http://courtenay.widget-it.com/index.php?mact=avplayer,cntnt01,default,0&cntnt01finaltemplate=mp3_template&cntnt01parent=mp3player&cntnt01what=mediafile&cntnt01alias=Schumann-1st&cntnt01returnid=60">Schumann.1st</a></li>

Yeah, example code below.

Code: Select all

<ul>
	<li ><a href="http://www.mysitename.com/avplayer/detail/file-name-1/96">Song 1 name</a></li>
	<li ><a href="http://www.mysitename.com/avplayer/detail/file-name-2/96">Song 2 name</a></li>
</ul>
Is that what the problem is? Won't this work with pretty URLs?

Thanks again for your help.
