There is an error with this plugin. the line that reads

"if(jQuery.browser.msie){ $el[0].outerHTML = $el[0].outerHTML; }" (line 202) of jqmedia.js throws a javascript runtime error in IE7 and IE6 after the first media instance is replaced, thus preventing any further media instances from being replaced.

commenting the line out works (actually, just commenting out the block fixes it, so it's not a problem with the if() statement itself), but I'm not sure what it's supposed to do ("// Eolas workaround for IE (Thanks Kurt!)") so I imagine it might be necessary in some circumstances.

hope this helps! oh, and otherwise it's a rad plugin. thanks!

Duh, Eolas. I think I just refuse to remember it because it's such a pain in the A.

At any rate, I'm not experiencing this as you describe. if the Eolas workaround is not commented out it causes errors whether debugging is enabled or disabled. And when it is commented out it does not cause internet explorer to alert.(see: http://board.larecord.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&page=1#Item_11)

However, the fact that this script is dynamically inserting the embedded objects after the DOM is created (Im assuming using jquery's $(document).ready(function(){}); or $(function(){});) means that the plugin itself works as a workaround as IE only triggers that horrible alert if it encounters embeds or objects while the page is loading.

if you know what you're doing then use this
<blockquote>repeat (true,false,list): By default, the players will stop playback after every item to preserve bandwidth (repeat=false). You can set this to "list" to playback all items in a playlist once, or to "true" to continously playback your song/movie/playlist.</blockquote>

if not then wait for me to update jQmedia

thanx for your help! couldn't test it yet, but I think I'll try it this weekend..

i'm a little slow :) I found a permission issue on the server, and corrected that. Now everything is back to normal.

ah solved, i found and removed the snipet in jqmedia.js

I can request that midi file be included in the next update, so they embed in the same way as mp3 files

big thanks

yes I've got that too iamkeir, your not the only one - I've just kind of got used to it I suppose XD

I think it's a proboscis monkey?
(I zoomed in with Safari using control-scroll)

That code change actually didn't work for me - the yellow box still suffers the problem and, instead, the mp3 player has an increased height making it look like a video...

"hey i think i figured it out. I was encoding my mp3s with a sample rate of 48. So when the server re-encoded for playback it actually like did something they call chipmunking. I had the same problem when i uploaded my songs to soundclick. Thats where i found the answer to that probelm. I never knew about it because before that all i used was myspace and for some reason they dont have that problem or at least its very minimal. Anyways wanted to tell u its not really your player. U might just want to create a info about uploading mp3s with a sample rate of 44 or what ever. that is the standard i beleive anyways. Later dude."


looks like a forum member found out why its doing that

I have an odd issue with this... Ive been using it for a while and in any discussion, as soon as one youtube video is embedded, anyone trying to embedd one after that will end up with just the clickable link displaying rather then the player being embedded... ive read this whole 4 page thread and it doesnt seem like anyone else has reported this issue... any suggestions?

ah.... so when using youtube videos it will only let you post 1 (embedded) per discussion?

MySchizoBuddy: any chance of fixing that and putting up an update :)

I began trying to add blip.tv functionality but alas the swf/flv ID is different to the URL ID - I've contacted blip.tv but it's very frustrating!

Hey Nick,

ah.... so when using youtube videos it will only let you post 1 (embedded) per discussion?

I don't have this problem - I can put as many links in a comment and a discussion and they are all replaced with the youtube player...

The functionality of this extension is great but I think it's implementation needs to be tighter.

I promise to have a better look at the code at some point.

I was messing around and fried my forum. I had the below messages for all extensions but now only the JQMEIDA error shows:

Warning: main(/home/content/C/o/y/Coyote07/html/vanillaforum/extensions/JQMedia/default.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/C/o/y/Coyote07/html/vanillaforum/conf/extensions.php on line 5

Is there a straight forward fix? I have installed and reinstalled and uninstalled and unreinstalled everything 3 times.

I do not even use JQMEDIA and everything else works so all I need to do is get that darn error message to go away.

@MichaelPierce: Thanks for that! Vimeo working great :D!

edit: It would be cool to have blip.tv and viddler support added too.
