You could always use a skin to change the basic look of the player and then add a plugin to add the wave form. Though it would take some very minor coding. I believe I have even seen it posted else where on the forums here where to modify the line to add the skin and plugins for the jw player used in this component.

For plugins and skins for the player that is used in this component, you could check their website at http://www.longtailvideo.com/addons/

Hey guys, did you have any luck with this? I've searched the forum but haven't found much. Would love to make the player a little nicer. HTML5 would be sweet! But anything is better than what's there currently... no offense to the developers, love Music Collection!

I've used some of the plugins that longtailvideo.com offers. Not everything they have works, the skins do work though. For the html5, i would wait for the developer to get that started. From what germi has been hinting at they are working on it for the next release that should have launched this week or hopefully soon.

I you need help let me know, because i've tested some out. Just have to update the player to the latest version and try to get the coding right so that it still works on Music Collection.

Yeah I have noticed the same thing. Some of the skins and plugins are only compatible with the 5.5 jw player. I believe mc uses an older version which is 4.5.x Hopefully germi will be updating mc to use the latest player which would then provide html 5 support along with being able to use some of the updated plugins.

Germi,

What would really rock is if you add fields into the jw player module preferences to allow one to easily add plugins and skins. Similar to how you have added options to add the color parameters. That way one doesn't have to hard code any plugins or skins into the mc code.

You can do that by modifying the mod_muscol_jwplayer.xml file for the player. That is what I did to get the option of changing my skins without having to go back and forth in hard coding the skins.

This is the piece of code i used to mod my jwplayer:

Create the skin folder and add all your necessary skins.

edit mod_muscol_jwplayer.xml add

			None

				Blue metal

				Kleur

				Magma

				Metarby10

				Modieus

				Overlay

				Pearlized

				Silvery White

				Simple

				SNEL

				Stylish

				Sylish Slim

			

then edit the helper file:

add on line 46 & 165

$array_params["player_skin"] = $params->get('player_skin');

add on line 84 & 184

skin=".$array_params["player_skin"]."&

hello folks!

you're pretty right. but instead of adding the skin option in the current player (which you can achieve by adding these piece of code...), we've decided to add this option directly in the new player (which uses last version of JWplayer...) because these makes a lot of new skins compatible.

once more, the new version is coming... soooooooonn..... (one of these days you won't believe me anymore

in a week or so we'll publish a Beta so you can test it!

How's the progress on the next release coming along?

I've been trying to use the JW Skin solution from the previous posts, but it's really only for the Muscol JW Player Module.

I need to change the player on the Songs page and within the album pages. I've been trying to apply those changes to the JW plugin but I have not had any success, the files are a bit different, there is no helper.php for the plugin.

How can I apply the JW Skin solution to the songs & album page?

Or how long till the release of the next version?

I need a solution asap.
