Link to Mod

Radio, Music, and Broadcast for your Forum

Author: Akai Phan

Compability: SMF 1.1.8

Introductions: This mod adds a program right into your forum to play music, video or stream. You can choose to disable/enable for all/guest, choose Windows Media player or the stylish Flash player. Because this program besides play mp3, wma, can also stream video or audio, which means that you can broadcast media from your computer to your forum in real time, either a MP3 or Sounds on your system, or from microphone. Further more, if you allow other people to broadcast then you can have a voice chat on your forum (much like Yahoo conference voice chat).

Note: Since you will need a radio hosting service and a program installed in your computer for broadcasting (only Winamp and one plugin). You can refer to the manual at e-technology.tk or broadcast.txt in the package on how to do it.

Important Instructions: When you are done installing the mod. Copy the code from note.php in the package to index.template.php wherever you like the program to appear.

Installation: For other themes, follow the instructions in install_radio.xml and the manual of your theme. If you need help, contact me.

Nice mod, how do i get the media player to appear just under the home button? Im not sure where to put the code.

Thanks

[chrishicks]

I'd like to have mine show in the footer as in the screengrabs but I also have no idea where to put the code.

[Chopper]

Anyone any ideas??

Thanks

[dr.wills]

sorry for the late response  

if you want it to appear on every page, right below the menu, and your smf version is 1.1.8, then you can dock it to the function template_menu() in index.template.php

find the function template_menu() in index.template.php about line 487
scroll down about line 598, find the following

Code Select Expand

// The end of tab section.
echo '
<td class="maintab_' , $last , '">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>';


and then paste the code in the note.php after that 


@chrishicks:  to add to the end, you can paste it to the beginning of the function template_main_below() in the index.template.php

[Chopper]

Thanks man, that fixed it   

[chrishicks]

That worked. Now what would the reason be that Windows Media Player won't work? When I have that selected I get nothing in Firefox 3.0.6 or Opera 9.6 and just a red x box in IE7. The flash player works perfectly.

Does the flash player decode Vorbis Ogg streams?

I can get the radio if I use a link, but I get nothing on the flash player provided, it just constantly buffers...... can you provide more details on how to get this running from the forum please, especially the live feeds with a microphone !

[Joe N]

Nice!

I saw this on my friends forum!

[dr.wills]

That worked. Now what would the reason be that Windows Media Player won't work? When I have that selected I get nothing in Firefox 3.0.6 or Opera 9.6 and just a red x box in IE7. The flash player works perfectly.

Can you take a screenshot?

Does the flash player decode Vorbis Ogg streams?

It doesn't decode the ogg, but there is a player that can do it, you can grab it from listen2myradio.com, and integrate it into the code

Thanks Heinandar for the answer.

What link? Here is how to set up a live microphone

choose the Soundcard input, choose Microphone


Press the Open Mixer and make sure you don't mute anything,
then Push to talk, or you can Lock


If you want to find some live radio stations to test or listen, you can go to shoutcast.com there are a lot of stations there, copy the link and paste into the radio setting


Thanks

[chrishicks]

screens as requested:

Normal with Flash player enabled(same in all browsers - works just fine):



IE7 with Windows Media Player enabled:



I didn't do a screen for Firefox/Opera. Just imagine the above screen minus the box with the red x. Same amount of space and everything just no box.

[zagrom]

Great mod, I just so happened to be looking for something like this,
will looking to using it ^^



Ok I am liking this mod,
(I havent tested all the features yet) but is there a way
where I can make a link that opens up the flash in a new
window (or with the WMP)
Or perhaps have it on a new page, sorta like "The Rules" mod?

What link?

By a Link I mean I have to place a link to listen2myradio.com , as opposed to having the flash player there , the player just sits there buffering, and I do know the radio is working with the link as I can hear it playing on another computer I have running.

However, it would be better if the flashplayer was operational, hav`nt tested the WMP yet.



I have flash10 running so that is not the problem

[zagrom]

^^^^^^^^^I have the same issues, with both Flash and WMP as well,
I have not tried to connect with winamp on another computer tho.

[Kreator]

Update: I placed an MP3 file on my server and that does not work either with WMP ....... is there any support for this mod ??
