I am trying to redo my playlist using the JVideoplayer generator. I have been using the playlist generator thru CC which doesn't seem to work anymore.

Since I can't directly access the CC file vault or your page code, hence one has to manually do a few things. Pretty much like one does for any widget stuff. The main difference is that you have to manually add the code in source mode to a page also because of that. However, fairly easy to add and exactly the same as CC's player if all you want to do is play MP3 songs. These are the steps. 1. ADD the URL of the MP3 in the Generator Page. The MP3 does not have to be stored on your site, thus saving a lot of space, however, I recommend you add the MP3 to your file vault first and use the file vault locations as the URL for the song. That prevents the link from becoming obsolete. Make a folder called MP3-somename in the File Vault. The "somename" is in case you want multiple players. Easier to manage, but optional. The other details are just options for the player sizes (none of those exist with CC), images shown, color and font sizes. Tinker with those and then use Preview to see how it changes. You can also mix YouTube song videos with MP3, something you could not do with CC's player This is the main link here.

Thank you so much for the information. The problem I am having now is when I try to add another song URL I get a message that it is a duplicate. Enclosing a copy of the URL. Is there something I need to change in the code? https://www.classcreator.com/000/9/2/8/7829/userfiles/file/Top%20Hits%20of%201974/Abba_-_Waterloo.mp3 https://www.classcreator.com/000/9/2/8/7829/userfiles/file/Top%20Hits%20of%201974/Al_Wilson_-_Show_and_Tell.mp3

I originally made it to play just Youtube videos which have short video IDs (the URL is always the same). So the check is for only the YouTube ID (11 characters max). I made all my MP3 samples manually so I never noticed. Oops. I did this 3 years ago, so will take me a bit to add the full length check for MP3 (the whole URL) Meanwhile, if you want to get a prototype using the default specs (size, image, etc) you can use this to play with. You can see how I added it. The description in the playlist is the text after the URL. You can make it any text. The default just takes the URL name. I use notepad which is actually the fastest way to add stuff once you have a playlist made. Use put cursor in box below Select All (CTRL+A) in the box shown here, CTRL+C from there and then CTRL+V into the CC editor in source mode. |
