XSPF Jukebox

I installed this using the snippet. Does anyone know how to implement controls on the player--

ex. <a href="javascript:window.document.flashObjec.playTrack();">Click to Play </a>

In my case, the snippet lives here
[tt]assets/snippets/xspf [/tt]
which itself has a subfolder called
[tt]skins[/tt]
So my call to the snippet looks like this

where it is looking for testskin.xml in
[tt]assets/snippets/xspf/skins/testskin[/tt]

That xml file controls the layouts of the buttons/actions. In my case, the images for the buttons are in a the folder
[tt]assets/snippets/xspf/skins/testskin/images[/tt]
As you can infer, the songs and the playlist are in assets/songs.

So to directly answer your question : look in the xml file.

Hope this helps,
Matt

Thanks! Is that where I should look to figure out how to have a link tell the player to play a certain track?

My call is [!XSPFjukebox?skin=`Slim`!] -- which I’m happy with- Does what it needs to, but I’m looking to have a link outside of the player, tell the player to play a certain track-- does that make sense?

So later in the page there would be a button after a song title-- Play Music-- and the player at the top of the page would play that track.

-- I think it might have something to do with ID’s and javacript? not sure.

Take a look at the parameter list for XSPFJukebox - you’ll see that you can specify a single track.

That said, where I needed to have a button that toggled play/stop for a single track, I used the mplayer snippet

XSPFjukebox I thought was just that - a jukebox. So if there is a "button" mode for it, I never explored it. Might have been good to know if that’s the case

Yeah, on Lacey’s website -- he has an example of using external links to control the jukebox. I believe it’s done via javascript. I just don’t know how to do it yet. I’ll post something up if I figure it out.
