Player not working on Song Page

0
Not sure what the problem here is ... but the player isn't working on the actual Song Page, but does work on the Artist Page.

Mouse-overs and the download link all work, but the player does not respond on that page.

I have a clean installation with no other modules or components that may interfere yet.

Any ideas?

    its the "&" symbol on the song filename. a filename should never have this symbol. just change the filename and it will work fine (change it both on the filename itself and on the song form)

    the filename now is:

    http://umby.me/songs/karaokecast.net-ballyhoo/karaokecast.net-ballyhoo - Bracken & Audra - Creep.mp3

    this & symbol is BAAAAD ;)

    Cool ... easy enough to fix ... just curious, why did it play on the other page?

    Thanks.

    because on the other pages, the song filename is not directly embedded on the player, its included on a XML playlist. (wich allows multiple files: all the files on the album)

    on the song page, its embedded directly into the flash embed element, on a FLASHVAR

    since the filename string is not escaped, when the flash player reads the flashvars, it (incorrectly) thinks that what comes after the "&" symbol is a new variable (because "&" is the symbol to separate varaibles), but in this case its not.

    so actually what happens is that on song view, the player was thinking that the filename was "KARAOKEcast.net-Ballyhoo/KARAOKEcast.net-Ballyhoo - Bracken"

    just until the "&" symbol, so of course it didnt find the file.

    there you go! ;)

    maybe a bit technical the explanation... ;) I hope I made myself clear.

    and that's today's lesson boys! ;)
