PLAY MEDIA ATTACHMENTS v2.6
By Dougiefresh -> Link to Mod

Introduction
This mod allows MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, and audio OGG files that has been attached to a post to be played without manually downloading the attachment using the HTML5 audio tag.

This mod also allows a MP4, M4A, M4V, WebM, WMV, MOV, and video OGG files that has been attached to a post to be played without manually downloading the attachment using the HTML5 video tag.

Note: OGG format files are assumed to be video if the extension is OGV. Detection has yet to be improved upon for determining the difference between audio and video OGG-formatted files.

Admin Settings
In Admin -> Forum -> Attachments and Avatars -> Attachment Settings, there are two new options:
o Width of Audio Player element
o Width of Video Player element

Inspiration & Credit
The Javascript code used was copied and adapted from this webpage: JavaScript spoiler with a twist (collapsing up or down)

Compatibility Notes
This mod was tested on SMF 2.0.14, but should work on SMF 2.0 and up, as well as SMF 2.1 RC2. SMF 2.1 RC1 and before, as well as SMF 1.x will not be supported.

PM Attachments should be installed before this mod (not required). Only PM Attachments mod version 2.1 and above are supported!

Hello,
It's still "the hindrance to turn in circles!"
I note a concern:
I am connected, I attach an MP3 file to a subject and I click on "Submit"
The subject is published, the file is attached BUT the reading bar does not appear!
I leave the subject published.
I uninstall the Mod (without erasing it)
I reinstall the Mod AND the playbar appears!
Bizarre

Obviously, the mime type didn't get put into the database properly. I'll look into this bug report!

Uploaded v1.2 - January 4th, 2016
o Changed code so that audio/video MIME detection takes place if no MIME type detected.

Steve · « **Reply #5 on:** January 04, 2017, 10:09:52 AM »

Hmm ... can't seem to get this to work for some reason now ... attaching an mp3 just shows it as an attachment with no player.

Ghislain.Dejoie · « **Reply #6 on:** January 04, 2017, 10:45:18 AM »

Hello,
Result of the implementation of version 1.2:
I did my tests on 5 browsers and it works!
I have allowed single visitors to view attachments, and it also works
THANK YOU

@Steve: Can't reproduce your bug report about the MP3 file. Can you upload the file somewhere (not here) and PM me with the link to it? Thanks!

@Ghislain.Dejoie: Thank you for your feedback!

Steve · « **Reply #8 on:** January 07, 2017, 09:55:35 AM »

After your request I checked and other mp3's work fine so it's something about the particular one I'm trying to use. Where's a good place to upload it?

dougiefresh · « **Reply #9 on:** January 07, 2017, 02:42:44 PM »

Dropbox, 4shared, or similar services would work. Just Google file sharing services and pick one....

Steve · « **Reply #10 on:** January 07, 2017, 03:26:48 PM »

PM sent.

Uploaded v1.3 - January 7th, 2017
o Fixed MIME detection for MP3 files.

@Steve: This update should address the issue, as the magic byte detection was incorrect for MP3 files. Thank you for the bug report!

Hi Dougie,

Unfortunately after I install this mod I get the errors below.

I'm using SMF 2.0.13. I am using a custom theme but I don't think that would that cause the Display errors.

There are no errors prior to the mod install and none once it's been removed.

Any ideas?

dougiefresh · « **Reply #14 on:** February 21, 2017, 09:45:08 AM »

Uploaded v1.4 - February 21st, 2017
o Fixed invalid array index error in Sources/Display.php.

@davejo: This update should take care of the undefined array index errors you saw. Thank you for the bug report!

davejo · « **Reply #15 on:** February 21, 2017, 11:52:39 AM »

Thanks Dougie, I will let you know how I get on tomorrow (Wednesday)

If you are thinking that the mod is supposed to automatically play the attachment, then you are mistaken. Is that the issue?

EDIT: Or does the audio player not play the audio file you attached? If this is the case, you should upload the file somewhere (not here, potential copyright issues) and PM me the link to the file, so that I can see what the issue is with the file.....

Without more information, attempting to reproduce this bug report is damn near impossible.....
