MP3 files in single audio player (xml/ playlist)
11 September 2010 at 1:01am
So i've got audio files playing fine on my site (http://www.silentrepublic.com/mp3/) but i want to install a single player now with the ability of adding a playlist. but im a bit rubbish with the real technical side of this stuff!
here's what i have so far (thanks to Uncle Cheese)
AudioFile.php
<?php
class AudioFile extends DataObject {static $db = array (
'AudioTitle' => 'Text',
'Description' => 'Text'
);static $has_one = array (
'AudioPage' => 'AudioPage',
'File' => 'MP3'
);public function getCMSFields() {
$f = new FieldSet (
new Textfield('AudioTitle'),
new TextareaField('Description'),
$u = new FileUploadField('File')
);
$u->setFileTypes(array('mp3'));
return $f;
}
}AudioPage.php
<?php
class AudioPage extends Page {static $has_many = array (
'AudioFiles' => 'AudioFile'
);public function getCMSFields() {
$f = parent::getCMSFields();
$f->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Audio", new FileDataObjectManager($this));
return $f;
}
}
class AudioPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {}mp3.php
<?php
class MP3 extends File
{
static $allowed_file_types = array (
'mp3'
);private static $player_count = 0;
public function Player()
{
self::$player_count++;
return $this->customise(array(
'SWFLink' => Director::absoluteURL('dataobject_manager/code/mp3/player.swf'),
'MP3Link' => Director::absoluteURL($this->URL),
'Count' => self::$player_count
))->renderWith(array('mp3'));
}
public function forTemplate()
{
return $this->Player();
}
}?>
mp3.ss
<% require javascript(dataobject_manager/code/mp3/audio-player.js) %>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="$SWFLink" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290">
<param name="movie" value="$SWFLink">
<param name="FlashVars" value="playerID={$Count}&soundFile={$MP3Link}">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>AudioPage.ss
<div id="ColumnLeft" class="typography">
<h2>$Title</h2>
$Content<% control AudioFiles %>
<p>$AudioTitle</p>
<p>$Description</p>
$File.Player
<% end_control %>
</div>now can anybody please hep me turn this into a playlisted audio player somehow?
i imagine it will need to be turned into an xml somehow? i think i can figure out how to change the mp3 file location to an xml location, but then how do i auto generate the xml feed using dataobjectmanager on uploads??hope this makes sense!
thanks so much for any help in advance

You need to do three things:
Create an action on your controller (e.g. "xml()") that sets up an XML response
Create a template for that action (e.g. YourPage_xml.ss) that builds the XML in normal SS templating practices
Set your Flash component to point to: yoursite.com/your-page/xml
You can look at the SlideshowPro module for an example of this. It does something similar to feed a Flash component XML data. You can check that out from SVN here: http://carlinowebdesign.svn.beanstalkapp.com/modules/trunk/slideshow_pro

OK...attempt number 1. (please dont laugh, although it is fairly amusing thati think this would work!)
here's what ive done.
mp3.ss
<% require javascript(dataobject_manager/code/mp3/audio-player.js) %>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="$SWFLink" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290">
<param name="movie" value="$SWFLink">
<param name="FlashVars" value="soundFile={$MP3Link}">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>AudioFile.php
<?php
class AudioFile extends DataObject {static $db = array (
'AudioTitle' => 'Text',
'Description' => 'Text'
);static $has_one = array (
'AudioPage' => 'AudioPage',
'File' => 'MP3'
);public function getCMSFields() {
$f = new FieldSet (
new Textfield('AudioTitle'),
new TextareaField('Description'),
$u = new FileUploadField('File')
);
$u->setFileTypes(array('mp3'));
return $f;
}
}mp3.php
<?php
class MP3 extends File
{
static $allowed_file_types = array (
'mp3'
);private static $player_count = 0;
public function Player()
{
self::$player_count++;
return $this->customise(array(
'SWFLink' => Director::absoluteURL('dataobject_manager/code/mp3/player.swf'),
'MP3Link' => Director::absoluteURL($this->Link('xml')),
'Count' => self::$player_count
))->renderWith(array('mp3'));
}
public function forTemplate()
{
return $this->Player();
}
}?>
AudioPage.php
<?php
class AudioPage extends Page {static $has_many = array (
'AudioFiles' => 'AudioFile'
);public function getCMSFields() {
$f = parent::getCMSFields();
$f->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Audio", new FileDataObjectManager($this));
return $f;
}
}
class AudioPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
public function xml() {
header("Content-type: text/xml");
die($this->renderWith(array('Audio_xml')));
}
}Audio_xml.ss
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist>
<% control AudioFiles %>
<file path="$MP3Link" AudioTitle="$AudioTitle.EscapeXML" Description="$Description.EscapeXML" >
<% end_control %></playlist>

That looks great! I would change this:
public function xml() {
header("Content-type: text/xml");
die($this->renderWith(array('Audio_xml')));
}to this;
public function xml() {
header("Content-type: text/xml");
return $this->renderWith('Audio_xml');
}Just a little cleaner than die().. I don't know why I did that.
Go to /your-page/xml and make sure you're getting XML!
Also, add to your controller
static $allowed_actions = array (
'xml'
); -

Line Number 17, Column 3:</playlist>
--^thats from the URL: http://www.silentrepublic.com/listen/xml

Re: MP3 files in single audio player (xml/ playlist)

OK i read the error and fixed the issue...
now i get:
<playlist>
<file path="" AudioTitle="Title" Description="The-Motions"/>
<file path="" AudioTitle="" Description="Emerald City"/>
<file path="" AudioTitle="" Description="Seek the light"/>
<file path="" AudioTitle="" Description="Semi Automatic"/>
<file path="" AudioTitle="" Description="Tomahawk"/>
<file path="" AudioTitle="" Description="Black-Magic"/>
</playlist>so only descriptions are being imported?
