Hello there,
I have looked at how to change the skin,and also looked at a php alteration that I found on this forum, regarding the player's www. link, but nothing works.
I get the five player skin showing its lighter colours on the album page, but on the module I am testing on the home page and other places I put the player, it's still the default black one. Nothing changes it. Could someone help, please? Why would it be showing up as sometimes the white five one and other times the default, please?
Also, on the album page, it seems that a track tab is obscuring the album picture. There's nowhere to turn this off...and it doesn't show on the Music Collection demo pages. I don't know where it comes from? It's bad and in the way. How do I do so, please?
I have to ask, is there support for any other player with Music Collection? I got MC for MC, but if there was any way to change the player, I would. It's not as configurable as many others and is harshly overpriced...plus, it was not made clear that JW Player demands a license for commercial sites...which is $300 a year...not even a one off payment. That's not money I want to spend on that player. Again, I got MC for the component...not for the player, I'm rather keen not to use it, especially now there's a horrid price attached to it, and an awful looking watermark on my website if I use MC without buying the player. Again, this was not shown in the Music Collection Demo or made clear in the documentation. I really don't want to pay for it and use it. Any other options?
Thanks for your help.
Chris

0Hello,
about the player sking not showing on the module, please, do me a favor and download the version of the module 2.4.6 that I have just uploaded to the downloads area. I think it should solve your issue.
as for the ta obscuring the album picture, could you send me a link to your site so I can check?
We don't have support for other player at the moment, no... only JW player supported at the moment.
The provided version is free to use in any website.. we use this same version in our demo (we don't have the commercial version)
I'm sorry, but JW player is the only option supported by MC at the moment. what other player would you have liked to use? -

0Thank you Germinal. No need for apologies, I just wondered if there was an alternative. But I am still thrilled with MC. I will download that player version and let you know.
I included a screenshot of that album picture. But this page should show it,
http://www.theimos.com/index.php/component/muscol/g/2-chris-good/2-kissed-etc
It would appear this test album cover is too small anyway, but the box with the track name would still be on top and ugly. Attempting to inspect element and see what CSS to change, it just tooltips me to About JWPlayer.

0seems that what is happening is that the parameters of the plugin are not correctly set.
you are using the option to show the playlist, in that case the HEIGHT of the plugin parameters should be bigger than just 30px (the current value). try setting maybe 300px...
also the width is 50%..? try 100%... -

0Thank you, you were absolutely right...I should have played more with those parameters.
Regarding the skin, I have downloaded and installed the 2.4.6 player as you asked. Still, no change. Do you have any more thoughts on what might be going wrong? Again, it just seems to be the module as it looks like "five" on the album pages.
Also...to remove the watermark, could you advise me how to go about that, please?
Thank you so much for your time

0Yep, I am.
I didn't know if it is like some module class suffix requirements, needing a space and then the name etc....have tried a few different things, but the name is there.
It won't show up at all now, but the intro text is there. I've added a couple songs to a playlist and gone back to the page, but it's not there. :/-
Germinal Campsmore than a month agohmmm.. there must be something I'm missing.
could you send me joomla access to the site so I can take a look?
you can send it to support@ joomlathat.com
