Audio Playlist Manager

v 1.1

Tierra’s Audio Playlist Manager offers extensive flexibility when embedding mp3 audio into your posts or templates.

Features:

  • Embed single/multiple audio file(s) on a post page or template
  • Embed single/multiple audio playlist(s) on a post page or template
  • Build your own XSPF compatible player and link our XML to it (we’ve tested against Tom Boutell’s Enhanced XSPF player

Short Code Examples

We have set up some easy to use short code that can be pasted into any post / page within WordPress.

Multi-Track Audio Playlist:

If you are looking to embed a playlist on to your page, you can use the following short code.

1
2
3
4

// using the short code `[ti_audio]` by itself  will attempt to play playlist #1,
// which may or may not exist. It's always preferable to use a named Playlist
// when calling the player or to set the id.
[ti_audio]
1
2

// Plays playlist with name "Name of Playlist"  (case sensitive) 
[ti_audio name="Name of Playlist"]
1
2

// Plays playlist #1
[ti_audio id="1"]
1
2
3
4
5

// Uses the swf located at this location, rather than the default.
// Your root folder must contain a crossdomain.xml file allowing
// another domain's swf access to XML data.  Also passed is the
// name of the player and the swf's width and height values.
[ti_audio skin="/player/xspf_player_custom.swf" width="260" height="315"]

// In addition, you can also change the following attributes of the player (defaults shown):
 
// Sets player to begin playing on load. Default is off, 0.
autoplay="0"
 
// Sets player to begin loading assets before the user clicks anything. Default is on, 1.
autoload="1"
 
// Sets player to repeat once it reaches the end of the playlist. Default is off, 0.
repeat="0"
 
// URL of the XSPF swf to use for display. Uses default player unless specified.
skin="xspf_player.swf"
 
// Set if the skin attribute points to a SWF of different dimensions.
width="400"
height="170"
 
// Set default volume level (in percent)
volume="50"
 
// Set the playlist to play in random order
randomize="1"

Single Audio Track:

If you are looking to embed a single file, use the following short code.

1
2

// Plays audio file with id of 1
[ti_audio media='201']
1
2

// Plays single audio file, set to auto play, repeat and volume at 60%
[ti_audio media='201' autoplay="1" repeat="1" volume="60"]

Templates:

You can embed the audio player into any WordPress template.  Much like the short code examples above, you can customize the values within your own templates. Here are all of the fields that you can specify should you choose. Omitting a field will set it to the plugin’s default values.

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

<? if (function_exists ("ti_apm_print_player")) {
   print ti_apm_print_player (array(
    "name" => "Name of Playlist",
    "skin" => "/player/xspf_player_custom.swf",
    "autoplay" => "0",
    "repeat" => "0",
    "width" => "400",
    "height" => "170"
    )); 
} ?>

To play a single audio file within your template, specify the following:

1
2
3
4
5
6

// Set the media id to play a single audio track
<? if (function_exists ("ti_apm_print_player")) {
    ti_apm_print_player (array(
    "media" => "3"
    )); 
} ?>

Player API:

Want to use your own player? That’s no problem. We built our custom player to follow a default set of XML that is compatible with any skinned XSPF audio player. You can choose to use the core XSPF player by downloading it here or can skin your own.

Change Log:

v1.1.0

  • Added ability to “randomize” audio tracks
  • Added pre-loading indicator to default player
  • Fixed bug in player causing multiple instances of track to play
  • Changed preview to use text area for shortcode selection

v1.0.9

  • Fixed bug in admin playlist display reported to affect IE users.

v1.0.8

  • Fixed bug in player that could lead to simultaneous sound playing.
  • Added logo to admin page.

v1.0.7

  • Fixed glitches in Admin UI lightbox.
  • Updated ti-player.swf to better accomodate long album, artist and track names.
  • Removed visual glitch when ti-player.swf is launched without autoplay (Player would expand and shrink upon load).
  • Fixed error thrown when selecting tracks from right-click menu while player was paused.

v1.0.6

  • Changed Roles & Capabilities user level code to check against edit_others_posts per some users permissions issues.

v1.0.5

  • Fixed the template embed code to render the player inside a theme.

v1.0.4

  • Changed embed code to increase compatibility with older XSPF players. (Flash 7 v. 8 specifically)

v1.0.3

  • Fixed issue where users who were not administators could not access the plugin page. You can now access if you are an Editor or Administrator. If you are an Editor, you will see the link to the plugin page under the “Tools” menu. If you are an “Administrator” you will see the link to the plugin page under both “Tools” and “Settings.” Also fixed an HTML bug on the edit asset screen.

    Hi Guys,

    I love the potential of this plug-in but I have about 200 tracks to import from my old site and I’m wondering if there’s any bulk process to add music and edit playlist info.

    Thanks very much.

      @Nicole – I am seeing an error 500 message when trying to access the playlist. The first step would be to check the permissions of the plugin folder (folder: 755 / files: 644) and see if that helps. There is something perms based that is causing the plugin not to work as expected.

    I haven’t had any luck whatsoever. I recognize I’m doing something wrong with something simple.

    First, the uploader did its thing but uploaded nothing. So, the preview picked up the entry but could not access the single mp3.

    Now, I’d like to delete the listed entry but not uploaded mp3 and start over.

    How, please, do you eliminate the entry? I do not see a delete button. I didn’t check, but has a database been created in MySQL?

    (The result is that the preview player plays nothing. It shows the entry, track name, artist, but is otherwise not working.)

    By the way if I use FTP to upload the mp3, it will play the mp3 via the URL. Obviously it doesn’t use the plugin.

    Is there anyway to work around the uploader problem and access a folder with mp3s using the plugin?

    Thanks

      @Steve C – does the file listing show in the media manager within WordPress? If so, you can remove from there. I have added to our bug list for our team to go back and look at the upload process and see if we can detect where it might be failing.

    Hello,

    I want to incorporate a music-playlist player for my site (still off-line), and your plugin seemed quite appropriate because it works great through WPs admin interface.
    Though I would like to have a few options more that would make it really perfect:
    - the ability to show the player full open on page-load, without autoplay (it would be more aesthetic for my purpose, under the CD-covers)
    - the ability to change the color of the player (or if you can, please post a tutorial how to do it with the XSFP)
    - a playlist view where people can view all the tracks, not just the right-click option

    Thanks for your effort.

    Best Regards,
    Gaspar

    I’m using Audio Playlist Manager with the extended xspf player from http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/creating/audio.html

    It works great except I’d like the playlist to preload prior to the user clicking “Play”

    I know I have to use this line of code somewhere but don’t know where:

    xspf_player.swf?playlist_url=test.xspf&autoload=1

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hey Todd, thanks for this easy plugin. My problem is that the swf player doesn’t load on the page. The space is there and when I right click it, it says “movie not loaded”. So it knows the player is suppose to be there but it won’t load. It previews fine, any ideas?

    Also, when I upload the song in firefox (using Tierra’s uploader), it shows up in the media library, but not in Tierra’s library.

    When I upload it in Google Chrome, it shows up in both. When previewing the mp3, neither emits anything but silence.

    When I add the code [ti_audio media='15'] to play an mp3 with ID 15, it simply displays the code for the plugin in firefox and IE6. In Google Chrome, the player is displayed, but the song is silent.

    The song uploaded fine, it’s in my media library, I’m using the latest version of wordpress and I have no other plugins installed. When I preview the song in the settings for Tierra, it doesn’t play either.

    I’m guessing the code issue is something to do with my theme, since it displays the player when I switch to the basic. I’ll try some things you said above. But as far as the mp3 not even playing, that’s puzzling. I’ve tried it with a few different ones.

    Any suggestions as to what the error is and how to fix it?

      @Alex – is the error your seeing in the browser, flash, or elsewhere? Can you take a screen shot so we can take a look? I might also recommend upgrading to WP 2.9.1 as it does have a bunch of bug fixes and security patches.

    Hi Todd,

    thanks a lot for this Plugin, it works and looks amazing !

    However, I have 2 questions :

    1. Is it possible to place the player in my Sidebar ? I tried to do that using the Text Widget and paste the Audio player code but it doesn’t work.

    2. Is there any way to play all the files of a selection randomly ?

    Thanks again,

    Best,

    Arnaud.

      @Arnaud Mercier – sorry for the delay, our office was closed sat / sun / mon. I am building some widget functionality that I will migrate into the next version as many have asked for widget support. As far as a random playlist, that sounds like a good idea. I’ll pass along the request to our flash developer working on this plugin and see to it that it is added as a feature request. Thanks for using the plugin and keep your suggestions coming!

              Dear Todd,

              i really like your Plugon, and much more since the “random” option !!!

              However I have 2 questions:

              1. Hwo can I embed the Player in my header or footer in order to have it playing on every page ?

              2. Do you think it is possible to have a fade out when going on a different page ?

              Let me explain : Currently, my Audio Player is on my Home Page. I can of course create an instance of the Player for every page, every category and every single post, but since I want to play the same content everywhere it would be easier to embed the player in teh header or footer. Also, when someone visits my website they first see the Home Page. Teh Player is set to Autoplay so the music automatically starts. But when they click on a different page, of course, the player brutally stops (which is normal so far). i would like the Player to fade out the music when a visitor click on a link to a different page.

              Please let me know if there is any solution for these 2 questions…

              Thanks in advance…

                @Arnaud – We’ve tried building this functionality in the past, however, the browser / page loading combination never carries the audio over seamlessly. The only “true” way this could be achieved would be with the use of Frames. However, if the entire site were in flash, it would just be a matter of calling the playlist and proper functions.

    Thanks for a great plugin.

    I’m customizing the Extended xspf_player and want to include an image for each track. It was easy enough to add a text box to enter a URL – I just duplicated the album title field.

    Adding an upload function for images became a bit too much hassle than it was worth for me.

    It might be something worth considering for future releases of the plugin.

    Thanks again!

    Hi Todd,

    Thanks for creating this plugin!

    Unfortunately, like many here, I’m writing because of a small problem I’ve encountered. I used the plugin to embed a single track (.mp3 file) in one of my posts.

    When I press play to start the audio, everything seems fine for about 45 seconds or so. Then, the track starts playing again from the beginning, while the already started track keeps going. So, I suddenly have the audio running twice. When I press pause, the original track pauses but the duplicate track keeps going and there seems to be no way to stop it.

    What could be causing this problem?

    I’m using the most up-to-date versions of both WP and the plugin, by the way.

    Regards,
    Shane

      Then I hear a second instance of the same track played at the same time.

      @Rodrigo Zamorano – try placing the following into your site’s .htaccess file:

      php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
      php_value post_max_size 105M
      php_value max_execution_time 300

      Also, are you on shared hosting or a dedicated server? If you’re on a shared server, it may be possible that the machine is running out of memory since there are other accounts on there. If you have ssh access, are you able to see how much free memory is available?

        Thank you very much. In my case modifying the .htaccess file didn’t work but I found this another tip that worked well:

        To add this line of code in my Wordpress WP-CONFIG.PHP file. Add it before any other values:

        define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘64M’);

        Good luck!

    Hi,

    Wondering if it is possible to have several players on one page (I think so), AND the feature that the player that is playing at a certain moment is automatically stopped when you click on another one.
    (I know you could use playlists to have more pieces of music on one page. But the playlist has the disadvantage that you cannot see the whole list and pick for example the third track.)

    Hi and Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays!

    I am trying to post a couple audio files for my son. He is taking guitar lessons and I have used your plug-in on one other site and it was easy peasy and worked splendidly … so this morning… I thought “hey, I will do the same for my son’s blog” … but I am pulling my hair out. The player is on ‘hyper-mode’ and is listing the two songs over and over and over and over – but nothing ever plays.

    When I converted the files ( aiff ) to mp3 in itunes – they actually saved as mp4 files – would that be an issue? I can’t figure this out. I have the latest WP 2.9… maybe that is the problem? Hmmm… any help would be great!

I’ve looked in the php files but can’t see anything to change, yet. I may want to change the size of the single players as well. Is this possible. Apologies if I’ve missed it in the coding.

      @Pete Blake – The current version does not allow for color or size changes unless you use your own XSPF skin, which you can read up on here – http://www.boutell.com/xspf/. We can also help you build your own skin if you’d like. Just drop us at note on our contact page if you’re interested. At some point after the first of the year, we’ll be revisiting the plugin to see about color picking, etc.

    Hi Todd,
    THanks for your quick reply. I have solved the files not being visible problem. I had my mp3 file in 2 places within the same site, under ’sounds’ and ‘uploads’. I deleted all, and added through the media library as you suggested and this fixed the problem.

    My next endeavor: I would like a single mp3 to play on my home page and can put the code in my footer.php
    Heres the code: (w/o the brackets-am afraid the code will disappear in this post)

    if (function_exists (“ti_apm_print_player”)) {ti_apm_print_player (array(“media” => “37″)); }

    The below would be the post embed code, which does not work incidently in my sidebar text widgets.

    ti_audio media=”37″ autoplay=”1″

    The above code for the page does not show up at all. What part is incorrect and how do I insert the autoplay in the page code as well?

    Thank you for your help!

    Hello, I am getting stuck right at the beginning. I have uploaded 2 mp3’s successfully from your add button. They are visible in the WP media library. However, they are not visible from the Available Audio Files which shows No audio results, and therefore I cannot make a playlist.
    I am using WP 2.8.6 and your plugin is 1.0.7

    Thank you for your help!

      @Joni – what happens if you upload your mp3 via the media library itself – does it then show in the plugin? Also, can you verify that they are files with .mp3 extensions?

        Hi Todd,

        I am able to successfully upload MP3 files via the Media Library, and they show up in the Available Audio Files list. However, the media uploader on the Playlist Manager page can load files into the Media Library, but they won’t show up in the Available Audio Files list.

        I can just do all my uploading in the Media Library, but a fix would be great.

    Ok so i just started working on a website and im currently using the Scarlett Theme. I am able to put the audio in a post, and it works fine. But I am not able to put it in the theme some where. For example I would like to put the player either at the top right above the Search box or dead center above the picture strip. I am not sure where all the code is supposed to go??? So far any time i put the following:

    “Name of Playlist”,
    “skin” => “/player/xspf_player_custom.swf”,
    “autoplay” => “0″,
    “repeat” => “0″,
    “width” => “400″,
    “height” => “170″
    ));
    } ?>

    I either get this big white box on my theme or my theme just gets all messed up. I have every page basically default, and I have modified very little on this theme…this is just experimental and i am still learning. Please help.

      @Daniel – you can skip the “skin” setting. If you don’t specify it, it will load the default. You’re telling the plugin to load the default swf from /player/xspf_player_custom.swf which it looks like you don’t need to do. If you remove that one line from your template, it should work.

    Hello, I am getting the upload_max_size error. Where exactly do I make changes to the php.ini? Can someone please give me instructions on how to make the correct changes so that I can upload files?

    I have WP 2.8.5 and Atahualpa 3.4.4.

    Thanks,

      @nathsha elane – If you have access to your php.ini, you can do the following: change upload_max_filesize, post_max_size & memory_limit so upload_max_filesize < post_max_size < memory_limit. My settings locally, for example, are:

      upload_max_filesize = 40M
      post_max_size = 50M
      memory_limit = 128M

      You will need to restart apache when making changes to your php.ini. You can also edit your .htaccess file and try setting this:

      php_value post_max_size 128M
      php_value upload_max_size 128M

    This plugin seems very promising to me, but I am having a bit of a challenge customizing it w/ the skin you recommended above (http://www.boutell.com/xspf/). The new skin/swf shows on the page, but it seems like it is not linking to the playlist(s). Am I missing something?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

      @Chris – are you using the short code version or the version embedded into your template. If you can paste to us the code that you’re using, we can take a look and make recommendations.

      @Kriselle Laran & @Paul – We just pushed 1.0.6 up to WordPress. When the new version shows, download it and see if it resolves the issue. We think it may be due to WordPress not properly defining the right user roles for blogs that have been upgraded frequently, so we’re setting a different check in hopes that will fix the issue.

    @Paul – a couple of questions:

    1.) are you accessing from the settings menu or from the tools menu?
    2.) can you verify that you are an editor or administrator?
    3.) can you verify that you are able to access the media uploader built into wordpress?

    plugin = 1.0.4
    WordPress = 2.7.1

    Obviously I can update WP version, have been told by some to wait awhile to update. Is it your opinion that I should update?

    I have the same issue Hugh does, getting the “ACCESS ERROR: You do not have permission to access this page.” I am the administrator, what should I try next?

    Hello,
    After uploading a mp3 file, which went to this path:
    …/wp-content/uploads/2009/11
    The playlist does not show anything, nor can I ‘add’ even though the file said it was successfully uploaded.
    Also tried putting the mp3 under …/wp-content/uploads/
    still no results.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you for your help.

      @joni – does the file show in your media library? I know that if you add the mp3 directly to /wp-content/uploads/ it won’t show within WordPress because it needs a database record associated to display in the admin. It sounds like you may have a limit set on the server for the maximum file size when uploading.

    I actually had already found the boutell player and am currently using it. That saved me a lot of work. You are quick with the responses, which is awesome!

    I am curious about embedding the player into the sidebar of a wordpress theme. Can you give some more information on that process – I edited the code you provided, and added it to my PHP, but it did not work. To be honest, I’m a hack, when it comes to PHP – Any additional explanation would be helpful.

    This looks like exactly what I need. However I’ve installed it in wordpress, activated it and when I click on “audio Playlist Manager under the Settings tab I get the error message “ACCESS ERROR: You do not have permission to access this page.”
    Can you help me out here?

    I’m using WP 2.8.5, and wanted to use a different skin with your plug-in.
    This does not appear to work. So I replaced the SWF file with the core SXPF player SWF file, which gives the appearance I want, but does not respond to any of the plug-in options such as autoplay. With this skin, the player always autoplays, and this cannot be reset.

    ?? Is there an easier way to use the core player skin?

      @scott – Unfortunately, it is up to the individual player implementation as to how to handle the autoplay and other options passed from the HTML page to the player SWF file. While we’ve tried to adhere to the Flash XSPF player URL options listed on this page http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/, we cannot speak for the third-party developers who produced these players (and interestingly, we’ve noticed that even on the “official” Flash XSPF player site, there seems to be a difference in whether the “autoplay ” parameter is acknowledged among the three versions of the XSPF Flash player there).

      That said, we have had success testing multiple implementations of Tom Boutell’s Enhanced XSPF player (http://www.boutell.com/xspf/) with our plugin, and they appear to work correctly with all the standard published options. Hopefully that will help in your re-skinning process. Let us know if we can be of further help.

      @scott – We did find one issue with different versions of XSPF players, specifically with the version of Flash they were exported as. We added a check in the plugin to try and add additional compatibility with older Flash versions of the player. Download 1.0.4 and check it out and let us know if it resolves any issues for you.
