Introduction
Huo is one of my best friends I get acquainted with on the internet. She want a music player which can be put on the sidebar of her blog. She is a newbie in the internet and WordPress. Although to create a XML config file and playlist is very easy, it is still too hard for a green hand like her. That is why I created this plugin—making it easy.
Widget support and user friendly administration interface are the most important two features of this plugin. But the features of the player itself, e.g. shuffle the playlist, are not under my control. The player this plugin used was found on the internet, they are created with flash. This kind of player has the best browser compatibility.
The flash player of the first version(8.x~9.x) of this plugin is like this:

I found this player on the internet and I don’t know who is the author. This player is very simple. You can not change the color scheme and make full control of its dimension. Its advantage is tiny, just 8k bytes.
The flash player of the now version(10.0.x) of this plugin is like this:

This player is the famous JW player(the latest version of it is v4.4). I choose the version 2.3 because it is tiny(9.5k bytes) and it is good enough to be a MP3 player. You can change the color scheme of it, change the background image, set the default volumn, shuffle the playlist and so on. It’s great!

Note: The version 10.x does not support PHP 4.x. If the PHP version on your web server is under 5, you should use 9.x of this plugin.
Updated:(2008年9月23日20:08:07)已经修复了不能支持PHP4的问题了,插件的内部结构也做了小小的改动,升级的时候也不会覆盖原来的播放列表了。升级说明看这里。
Updated:(2008年8月19日20:08:07)非常遗憾,此插件目前只支持PHP5及以上版本。这是我考虑不周了。如果是PHP5以下版本的同学想用,可以装上,但是不能在后台编辑播放列表,必须手动编辑playlist.xml文件。
曾几何时,我在一个博客上看到这个播放器,那时候,那个是装在Default主题上的,觉得很别致,很好看,后来,那个博客不知怎么关掉了,所以我就找不到了。
前些日子,由我作为客服支持的博客《双霍记》提出播放音乐的需求,我开始狂找这款播放器,终于给我找到,遗憾的是,竟然不是一个网络服务(我个人比较喜欢网络服务类的),是一个单机的Flash版本MP3播放器。
为了便于伟大的上帝(就是霍霍,客户嘛)使用,我将其Widget化了,播放列表的那个xml文件,也通过后台管理页面来读写了。
这里我上一个后台截图,具体效果可以看霍霍博客:《双霍记》 《所谓伊人在何方》。

A new version is under development, here is a picture to show:


I am getting the following errors with the new instillation of Wordpress:

Same for the playlist + config. Any ideas, suggestions? Old versions of the plugin do not allow it to work. Thanks for the help,
Shawn
Great Plugin Bro!
Thanks for create this cool thing.
Keep the good work!
Great plugin!
Would be absolutely fantastic if you incorporated the ability to upload to individual playlists the way this plugin does for photo galleries.. http://codeasily.com/wordpress-plugins/flash-album-gallery/flag . I use WP as a CMS for my customers and having them upload an mp3 via ftp or the media uploader and then grab a link to import into a FMP playlist is kind of a redundant and often difficult to explain step.
Thanks!
Grate plugin... just need to figure out to pop-out this plogin from the page so i viewers could view different pages while the music is playing
I downloaded the player to my wordpress but I cant figure out how to load it. My site is a music site at http://www.breakoutbeatz.com. The blog is the domain plus/blog3. Please tell me how to make it work.
This is the best WP plugin I ever encountered. Great job! thank you!!
thank you perfect player
很好的插件!但是在编辑播放列表的时候,是否应该是新加的歌曲在后面呢?毕竟我加入一首新歌之后,首先希望播放新歌的,谢谢。
I am looking for an mp3 player to play some of my music samples on my wordpress 2.0 website. Would these players work? and How do I install them?
Thanks,
Danny C.
Hi! Well done with this plugin however i am getting some fatal errors with the new version of wordpress. The I get this in the config editor:
Warning: domdocument() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /home/content/t/e/n/tenua/html/me/wp-content/plugins/flash-mp3-player/inc/class.config_editor.php on line 337
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: load() in /home/content/t/e/n/tenua/html/me/wp-content/plugins/flash-mp3-player/inc/class.config_editor.php on line 338
and I get this in the Playlist editor:
Warning: domdocument() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /home/content/t/e/n/tenua/html/me/wp-content/plugins/flash-mp3-player/inc/class.playlist_editor.php on line 203
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: load() in /home/content/t/e/n/tenua/html/me/wp-content/plugins/flash-mp3-player/inc/class.playlist_editor.php on line 204
I used Wordpress' auto installation.
we also used this in our site to listen to our favorite songs. i hope you can also provide some support to embed music video so we don't need to upload our mp3 in our server (it eats our bandwidth, hehe)
nonetheless, this is fine with us already and we're satisfied with it. want some iced tea? ^^
greets from http://tagalogonlinepocketbook.com team.
Is there a way to make the player continue plaing while flipping between blog's pages?
Thanks a lot!
greets, Maciej
Thanks for the mp3 plug-in. I think I have a good use for it.
thx for this! i installed so i could try to add the mixpod.com playlist to my wordpress.ORG blog since its flash. anyway do you think it can work to use your plugin for that? thanks a lot!
Great Plugin!
Would there be any way to reverse the play order so most recent song ends up on top except the bottom? That would make this tool even better!
Thanks!
