Nazdrave-MP3

Nazdrave-MP3 is a WordPress plugin which allows you to embed an Adobe Flash MP3-player in your blog, using simple [mp3] tags like this:

[mp3]/wp-content/uploads/malmsteen – amberdawn.mp3[/mp3]

Go get Adobe Flash Player!

This plugin supports passing tag attributes to the player, like standard HTML. Here’s an example:

[mp3 autostart="true" repeat="true"]song.mp3[/mp3]

A full list of all attributes accepted is available here

CREDITS

This plugin uses Jeroen Wijering’s JW MP3 PLAYER v3.99. It was heavily inspired by MP3-o-Matic!, which I tried to modify to suit my needs, but I reached a point where I have replaced almost all of the initial code, so it was actually another plugin! Currently the only thing that remains from MP3-o-Matic is the tag syntax ([mp3][/mp3]).

The plugin also makes use of Geoff Stearns’ Javascript SWFObject.

DOWNLOAD

The most current version is 1.2
Download nazdrave-mp3-1.2.zip (36.1KB)

INSTALL

Just extract the contents of this archive to the “wp-content/plugins” directory of your blog. Then go to the Plugins page of your admin screen and activate the plugin.

USE

It’s really simple – if you don’t want any fancy control over the player, just enter the URL of any MP3 file in the post/page editor, and surround it with [mp3][/mp3] tags, just like a HTML link. The only limitation is the file location – it must be a valid URL (either absolute or relative), because the player runs on the client machine and must be able to get the file via Internet. So, you can’t point to a file outside the document root. You can, however, point to a file on another site, if you specify the full URL (like http://example.com/file.mp3).

You can use the player in your posts and pages, but not in comments.

VERSION LOG

1.01:
Since I’ve lost my original source code, this is a complete rewrite of the plugin. The functionality is the same though, so I changed only the subversion code

1.02:
Updated the JW MP3 Player to version 3.99

1.1 (24/Nov/2007):
This one’s for all of you standard-freaks out there
(cheers to all of you! ;) )

The plugin is now XHTML compliant! Thanks to Geoff Stearns’ SWFObject, the plugin outputs just SPAN and SCRIPT tags, which means it conforms with pretty much every HTML/XHTML standard today. The old version produced the more common EMBED, OBJECT and PARAM tags, which made all XHTML validators go nuts :)

Another benefit from the use of SWFObject is that the IE7 users no longer need to click the player in order to use it. As you may know, some time ago Microsoft released an update to IE7 which requires the user to activate the user interfaces of ActiveX controls prior to using them. Fortunately, this applies only to static APPLET, EMBED, and OBJECT elements, but not to controls created by external scripts. By using SWFObject the plugin gets round this problem and enables the user to directly interact with the player.

1.2 (19/Jan/2008):
Happy new year with this new version, it’s a bugfix release for an issue occurring when the “Blog address” and “WordPress address” in your blog’s options are different. If you have given WordPress its own directory as described here, the previous version of the plugin wouldn’t work for you. Credit goes to Ryan for spotting this problem. Cheers, mate :)

FUTURE PLANS
None. I’ve lost interest in this project long ago, so don’t expect anything more than bug fixes. That said, the plugin is so simple I don’t believe there are any more bugs hanging around ;)

p.s. Nazdrave means “cheers” in Bulgarian :P

    Do you have version 2 of your MP3 player available. The one on myflashfetish.com?

    Thanks!

    @SoulSmasher: Yes, swapping the .swf file should work

    Is it possible to use your plugin to do playlists like you can if you embed with the Flash MP3 Player? Or can you only do one file at a time?

    I keep getting “Go get Adobe Flash Player!” instead of the flash player. I know I have the latest version of Flash, and I have a valid mp3 file. What am I missing? I tested in Safari and Firefox on a Mac.

    18 December 2007 at 08:25

    I’m getting the same result as Pete. Downloaded the Flash 9 plugin and still get the result.

    Guys, could you please give me some more details on the Macs you’re using? The plugin seems to work fine on our iMac in the office, and I don’t have access to another one for testing.

    Sorry for that. I’m on 10.4.11 running Safari 3 and FF 2.0.0.11. It was the upgrade from 1.0 that broke it for me. Thanks for the quick reply

    Got some time to debug the issue and it turns out it wasn’t finding my wp installation correctly as my blog address and wp install address are different. Changed (in mp3.php) the $url var on line 46 from get_bloginfo(‘url’) to get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’)

    This fixed the url issue. Then found that the $path var on line 20 was doing the same thing when finding the media file location. Changed the var in the function on line 78 from so.addVariable(“file”, “$path”); to so.addVariable(“file”, “main$path”);

    Now the player’s play and pause buttons are on top of each other. Haven’t figured this out. Hope this helps. You can see what I mean at http://ryanfitzer.com/?p=587

    I’ll post back when I figure that part out.

    The player button problem was the result of trying to play an .m4a file. Once I encoded it as an .mp3 things went back to normal. Sorry for all the smiley faces up there.

    Hi,

    I am having trouble I with the plugin because of a setting I have inside of WordPress. My wordpress address (URL) is different from my Blog Address (URL) so when the swbobject goes to find the mp3player its looking for it at the Blog Address and not the wordpress address. In other words,

    http://www.mywebsite/blogaddress/postitle (Blog address) would look like this
    http://www.mywebsite/news/something-interesting

    http://www.mywebsite/wordpressaddress/postitle (wordpress address)
    http://www.mywebsite/wordpress/something-interesting

    This is what happens and the script doesnt account for the setting in wordpress to allow you the security feature of making your visible blog address different from that of your wordpress address

    Any help would be most appreciated!!

    Thanks!!!

    Chin Chin: It could be your internet connection or it might be the Chipmunk Effect: The Macromedia Flash player has a problem playing files that are encoded at a rate that is not a multiple of 11.025 kHz. This effect is sometimes called the “chipmunk” effect: the file is played at double speed. To avoid this, encode MP3’s at 11.025 kHz 22.050 kHz or 44.100 kHz.

    Hi,

    Good plugin, but I keep getting Russian spam that seems to be related to this plugin (they even refer to the plugin url: var so = new SWFObject( “http://www.domain.com/wp-content/plugins/nazdrave-mp3/mp3player))

    Is this still being developed and has anyone else been getting spam as a result of it? Haven’t seen an update for a while….

     

  45. Rosko

    19 May 2010 at 10:14

    Hi osu – it looks like the spammers are simply trying to use the SWF player which is hosted on a website using the plugin. I’m not even sure what they are trying to achieve – are they trying to use JS in the email?!?
