Xspf 4.4 fixes the autoload issue where it loads double playlists, or will not autoload. Also fixes the disregarding of autoplay=false and autoload=false inputs. Get it Here.
So many people were having trouble getting playlists and the players to work, and the lack of good documentation did not help. I have created a small playlist and html generator for the Xspf Player. This generates a playlist file, a variables.txt, the deconcept SwfObject javascript file, and your html code to embed. This also breaks the IE ‘Active Content Update’, so no more, “click on the movie to activate” bubbles. Just download the player, fill in your info in the generator, and anyone can have a music player in under ten minutes. Use it Here.
This update (4.3 & 3.1) should hopefully fix all the loading problems many of you have been having. Even loading using an external variables file. I’m wary to say it, because of the thousands of emails I got about previous problems, but send me a message or comment if you have problems.
See/Get it Here.
There are two problems I am working to fix with the xspf players. The first is the external loading method, apperantly users are experiancing problems in IE (not suprising), and IE does not allow the used external loading method for variables. The only fix to this is to not load using an external file. Add variables in your html to the end of your player source. ex: “http://www.yourdomain/xspf.swf?autoload=1&playlist_url=playlist.xml” etc. The other problem is in the use of id3 tags in the mini player, they do not always work in IE. Both problems are being fixed.
The new version of the slim player is up and about, with the same external variables ability as it’s big brother. The new big thing here though is another innovation from my blossoming flash years and my jukebox, id3 tag support. id3 tags were not usable in the extended version because of the displaying of all artists and titles in the playlist. However, with id3 tags, no artist or title is needed. Information is stored is 98% of alll mp3′s, including artist and song titles. The tags show automatically when there is no titles present, or use the variable “&useId3=1″ to have them always show. As well as that, there have been the usual visual updates, and more updates to the loading script to timeout after five seconds.This is also the release of the Extended 4.1 version with a few bug fixes.Get ‘em.
i’ve officially hit 16, but along with that, the new version of the xspf player has been released. the biggest change? the ability to keep all of your variables in one small file. i’ve included a sample file, just use the tag “loadurl=” and load your variables.txt to a server (any file name will work) and viola! instead of paragraph long lines of variables, one short line. just make sure to include the line “&loaded=1″ as the last variable. i’ve also added the ability to change the loaded message, and updated the display. the theme has a little more depth than just gray, but it is just being tested right now. the descision to keep or trash it will be based on the feedback i get. a little while from now, the same changes will be made to the slim player. also, a request box will be added to my project pages for wanted features sometime in the future. enjoy.
i have added a music stream to the xspf player that plays whatever is in my itunes, chosen at random. i have a wide range of genres in ove 5500 songs, so it will be unlikely that you will hear the same song twice. check it out within a few days. on the xspf page.
Sorry about the lack of updates, a lot has been going on. First of all, I purchased a new intel mac, so i’ve been learning the background to Cocoa and Carbon, the two most prominent languages in Mac OSX. Secondly, I was hired by Iacmusic.com to customize an xspf player and accompanying php tracking script for use on their website. That has been finished and is running. Next on their list and already in the works is an xml photo slideshow, a little bit like Viewr.
The slim version of the xspf player is finally out, with color, seek and time support. coming soon is shuffle, auto-update, and more bug fixes. also, the normal player has a few bug fixes with version 3.7.view them both: lacymorrow.com/jukebox/
