Revision as of 08:15, 5 April 2007
The purpose of this modification is two fold:
- Eliminate the need for a local media player to play music (good for public access machines)
- Eliminate time spend individually adding URLs to a playlist
The inspiration came from this modification. This mod is no official and is not supported by the authors of MythTV, MythWeb, or MythMusic.

Required

Positions given below were on versions 0.20 of each above.
Install a flash mp3 player
The player used for this project is Flash MP3 Player 3.6 by Jeroen Wijering. The XSPF Web Music Player was also tried, and can easily be adapted to this mod.
The player (mp3player.swf) was installed to /mythweb/data and the flash loader (ufo.js) was installed to /mythweb/js.
Load flash loader
Around line 38, add a line to load the flash loader javascript file (UFO.js). Template:Box File
Generate Playlist
Inside class mythMusic, function display() Template:Box File
Load mp3 player
Inside class Theme_music, new function printPlayer() Template:Box File
Inside class Theme_music, function print_header() Template:Box File
ToDo
- Use randomly chosen (or session tagged) filename for playlist to prevent overwriting with multiple simultaneous sessions. Alternatively, have a php script pipe the playlist directly into the flash player.
- (AFAIK) Flash cannot dynamically size. The best option I see for sizing the width right now is to have a javascript grab the window size and scale the player at reload.
