New module: MP3 Playlist

[macsmet]

Hi everyone,

I made a new module called: MP3 Playlist.
It is based upon 'Simple Video Gallery' made by ToX.

How does it work?
1. Unzip the ZIP file after download and then install the module called 'mp3playlist_0.1.zip' via the admin interface.
2. Unzip the 'playlist.xml.zip' file and edit the 'playlist.xml' file so the names of your MP3 files are the same as in the 'playlist.xml' file. Then upload the 'playlist.xml' file and your MP3 files in the root of your media folder.

To do:
Finding a way to edit the XML file from within the admin interface (help appreciated!)

Hi there,

I am working on version 0.2 right now.
I found a solution for automatic generation of the XML file.
So stay tuned!

Hello macsmet,

thank you for the modul. I have made a test. So far it is o.k., but the speed with my test (Schnappi) is too fast. Schnappi with the windows media player are o.k.
Other mp3 songs is o.k., maybe it's something wrong with the schnappi *g*

Hello Hermann,

A known problem with Flash player.
I found the solution on the internet and the problem is your MP3 file:
The Macromedia Flash player has a problem playing files that are encoded at a rate that is not a multiple of 11.025 kHz. This effect is sometimes called the "chipmunk" effect: the file is played at double speed. To avoid this, encode MP3's at 11.025 kHz 22.050 kHz or 44.100 kHz.

greetings,

MacSmet

Hi macsmet,

what a nice surprise to find your module after returning from a short holliday!
However.... I don't get it to work  .  Apparently Hermann did, so probably it's my fault. I followed your instructions (and they're not too complicated), and indeed the module shows both in the admin and in the site, but the music won't play - neither my own music nor the 2 short songs you supplied with the module.

Hopefully you can help me out. If everything works, I'd be very interested in version 0.2, with the possibility to edit the XML file within the WB admin.

Regards,

Vincent

Hermann

Thanks for your advise, Hermann. I had made a mistake in the code. It now works fine. Let's wait for MacSmets next version...
