…is that I need help. It’s become obvious that with my job, social life, and impending college that I will not have the time this summer to enhance the XSPF Jukebox. Thats where you come in. I’m looking for people willing to aid this project, whether it’s creating documentation or sprucing up the website or adding features to the player. Get in touch with me if you’re interested.
…And I’m proud of it. Maybe now it will stay that way. The purpose of it was so that people having problems using my projects could get help from those who are having a little more success. Hopefully we can take some of the stress out of my life.
Look, I know the website hasn’t been touched in months, the forum is overrun with spam, the Jukebox hasn’t been updated in a good while, and I haven’t been answering much email lately. I apologize, college applications plus a school, work and social life doesn’t leave me a lot of spare time. But just wait, there is a completely revamped site in the works. Just wait…
Well, I’m taking a piece of advice I should have listened to a long time ago and created a forum for all things related to this site and it’s projects. You can find it at forum.lacymorrow.com, and I’ve already set up a few basic categories to help get people started, you have no obligation to register, you can post just the same as a guest, and hopefully this will take a bit of the support work out of my load.
Ok, so I’ve heard of the countless problems people are having getting the Jukebox up and running, as well as the number of bugs yet to be fixed. Believe me, every single email and comment is read. The main reason for lack of support and updates is that I don’t have the time. With school starting back and my eighteenth birthday coming up, I have had to concentrate more on my paid web design projects than the Jukebox. That is not to say that the project will be dropped, in fact I have every intention of recreating the entire website as well as making a simple auto-installer for the Jukebox. My only compensation for these projects are from the minimal donations I receive, so be happy with the current version. And also get ready, I have big plans for the Jukebox over the next month or so, so check back to see how it is coming. The Xspf Jukebox is already the most functional web media player on the internet (take that, WimpyPlayer), and the best part: It’s free. So if you are having problems, leave a comment, or shoot me an email (just make sure to send me a link, I can’t help you if I can’t see what’s wrong). Also, check out my test page. You can download the files exactly as I have them used and, who knows? Maybe you’ll solve the problems yourself.
Here is another update to the Xspf Jukebox, version 5.9.4. There are many small fixes which take care of a number of bugs.
A couple of additions areÂ
The Jukebox is now able to be loaded as a child to any other flash movie, no problem. It can be included in Flash sites or applications without having to be loaded from the Html page. This update also fixes bugs with reading stats, and adds additional accessible information through the “statsurl” interface.
Check it.
Some of you have been asking for a way to control the Xspf Jukebox using Javascript, well here it is. A single line of code is all it takes to play, pause stop, switch between tracks, and toggle shuffle and repeat on/off. These are the only six functions available at this time, but I am open to suggestions for additional ones. The documentation has been updated for reference here.
Anyone having problems getting everything to work just right with the Xspf Jukebox may want to click the link below. I have thrown together a super-simple page that incorporates all of the included files with the Jukebox download. The source files are also available for download so that you can see exactly how to use them. See the test page.
It’s been awhile, but I am slowly getting things worked out. This is a small update to allow for a duration variable in the playlist. This fixes the “Jumpy” scrub bar, but inserting the wrong number will cause unexpected results. Use the <duration> tag in the playlist, and insert [number of seconds] x 1000.
