Needing Some Help

I upgraded from 1.0.2 to 1.5.0

The original issues I posted here have been resolved it just took my a while to find the options on how to upload a song.

On that note it seems fairly time consuming to edit each song to upload a file. Does the system have any bulk import tooks? Where the system can scan a directory of MP3 files and just grab the data from the ID3 tag and insert into the Music Player? So we just create the arist / album and within the album we can bulk import all tracks with the names being aduto inserted with times being auto inserted as well....

Do we currenlty have to edit each song to upload a track? How do I add remote URL songs?

Anyone help would do me

im usually not bad with stuff like this perhaps last nights drinking is getting to me now as I cant see any options...

yes, currently you have to do it one by one. we are working on auto-fill data and batch upload facility for the next version to add remote URL songs just type the url on the field for it...

Ah great... Any idea how far this version is and when its going to be released?

I have set the URL in the box and when I view the album I can download the song, however the song wont play for me on the player. I added it to the playlist and on the right where I show the playlist this remains empty...

How do I also get the layout of this setup like the layout you have here?

Man so many questions.. hope you can help

songs on external servers wont work UNLESS you have a CROSSDOMAIN.XML file on the server that allows external connections (more info on the xrossdomain.xml file here: http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/flashsecurity )

file for the my album template: [file name=default.zip size=3183]http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/images/fbfiles/files/default.zip[/file]

replace for the one existing in
/components/com_muscol/views/album/tmpl/default.php

IMPORTANT: this is only the structure... if you want it to look as nice as mine you'll need to work a bit on your CSS properties!! I dont send my CSS file because it is strictly adapted to THIS site, and wont fit on yours.

use at your own risk!

Hey

Thanks for the info and code

I know its not apart of the support with the product as its a 3rd party script but any chance of getting help with this crossdomain file?

I have added it to the root of my other domain name that hosts the files but still nothing is played on the website...

mmm the other files are player ok? if they are, then the problem must be probably that the song on the other server does not exist or something like that. post a link to your site.

Hi

Currently this one file is located on the localserver .... If I want songs to be played from another server do I enter the URL under Parameters? or when adding a song do I just type in the address as http://www.otherserver.com/mp3.mp3 ?

The first player on that page wont play the song.. but if u click on the song name then the song is played again local version as Im not sure how to setup remote server yet...

you just type www.otherserver.com/mp3.mp3 , do not change a thing on the parameters

ok, that problem you get is probably that the XML file is not being readed ok. please, to know what is the error, INCREASE the height of jwplayer plugin, so we can actually see what error is being printed out

Hi

Just an update.. I added the SEF404 plugin which has resolved the issue of the invalid xml type on the album view. This is playing fine now. Just went through the forum and found the same issue

Just the problem with the remote uploads and crossdomain name thing left.

aaahhhhh :lol: ok, that makes sense. I didnt tell you because I though you already had the plugin installed.

about crossdomains: can you copy/paste here how your crossdomain.xml look like?

great!!

yes, most of the small issues of Music Collection are related to the SEF, but are quickly solved when installing the correct plugin and cleaning some cache!
