Trouble with Multi-Player Podcasts

I am trying to integrate a podcast player into a site that will list multiple tracks and play when clicking (instead of listing each track in its own player individually). I can do this successfully in a basic HTML page on the site, but when I put it into MODx I get a "Flash Player Not Installed" message on the page. All of the code is coming through properly using template variables. The code looks the same on the front end for each page.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? Or, do you have a player that works well in this format?

If the files you are playing are mp3’s, I have been fiddling around on a snippet (originally inspired by Mplayer) and based on this player - http://wpaudioplayer.com/whatsnew

If you think it might be useful and would like to give it a try, holler and I’ll attach it

I’d be interested. I can’t get any of the multiPlayer mp3 players to work properly. Let me know if you come up with something.

To be clear: I’d like to be able to have my client upload mp3 files into a folder they create (within here: assets/files/podcasts/~client created folder~). On the front end I’d like the output to be in a playlist with autostart for the first file in the list..

I’ve tried XSPFjukebox but can’t get it to work properly. I’m working in EVO1.0...

Unzip mp3player_1.0.3.zip on your local comp, the mp3player_readme.txt has install and basic usage info

Thanks. I got this installed and working , however, there is one issue. Right now it doesn’t list the mp3 titles available. If you hit the forward button it takes you to the next file but the client really wants a clickable list. Is this possible?

Thanks for what you’ve gotten to me.

Unfortunately thats a limitation of that particular swf player itself, but I found another open source player which might be better suited for your application: http://flash-mp3-player.net/

I am in the process of snippetizing it and should have something working very soon if you are interested.

If not, perhaps one of these might help:

My favorite is the JQuery based Flowplayer.

Susan,
Do you know how to set up Flowplayer with a list of songs to choose from? The clients need to be able to load the podcasts into a folder and then have them show up in a list to choose - within the player. Like MySpace and others.

Thanks.

I have no idea; I am not familiar with MySpace. You should dig around in their site.

FYI - I found and created a solution that works great. You can see it at madisonmcdaniel.net. Go to the music link.
