I've installed a copy of opentape on a home webserver and everything works perfectly... except for the embedded flash player. The player loads, but doesn't seem to load the playlist. Here's a link to my phpinfo(): http://tingley.ath.cx/xampp/phpinfo.php, and a copy of the embed code that opentape generates:
I have the exact same issue. I am running opentape on my personal website with no issues and it works fine as you can see here http://www.pri.me.uk/2008/11/friday-playlist.html However I've just installed it onto a private forum that I'm a member of and I get the grey bar with the play button, volume etc but the box below is just white with no songs showing in the playlist and nothing when you hit play as you can see in allentingley's link above. Unfortunately I can't link to the other site as it's part of a locked forum. The only things that spring to mind are permissions - I seem to remember having to set the ones on my site to 705 or 755 to get it to work but would like someone to confirm it - or that the working version is using Opentape 0.11 whilst the non-functional version is 0.12. Any help would be most welcome. cheers,
I was having this problem as well--it turns out it's a small error in the xspf.php file. The proper patches to the file can be found in this post: http://opentape.fm/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=75&page=1#Item_0 (scroll all the way to the bottom for the most recent version). I made those couple of changes to that file, and now my embedded mixtape is working just fine: http://kovenjsmith.com/.
Hi Im glad you guys have made a forum like this!!! But I still have some problems... I have 0.12 and everything works fine in the edit area (plays songs and all..) except for the embedded player..
If I go to the settings area where it shows the embedded code, the player next to it doesn't show a list or play a song (it shows the player only). If I copy/paste the code into a php-webpage it does the same..
I allready replaced the code mentioned above but that doesnt work and even makes my song list in the edit area not to be able to play.
Can anyone PLEASE help me.. I am a newbie so please explain for "dummies"
dbm, I don't really understand PHP, so this took me a bit to figure out. What I ended up doing was re-installing version 0.12, going to code>xspf.php and making these changes:
replace $tracklist = $doc->createElement('tracklist'); with $tracklist = $doc->createElement('trackList');
Yeah, none of these changes help my install either, even opentape-latest. What did fix it was grabbing the xspf.php from the opentape-0.11 source and copying that over. Works like a charm now. Before, I could neither get the page directly to work or the embedded player. Clicking would do nothing. But with the backwards version, it all works fine.
Please note that the contents of release 0.12 (which is called the latest on the download page) is not the same as that in the URL given by Mr. Opentape above: http://opentape.fm/download/archive/opentape-latest.zip
The latter does contain the fixes and works out of the box for me. I suppose there could be additional problems.
I've tried opentape-0.12 (with and without 5easypieces edits), I've tried opentape-latest, I've tried copying over the xspf.php file from opentape-0.11 and the one from opentape-0.12...still nothing. Is there anything else I could be missing? I can upload songs, I can listen to them through the normal interface, I just really need the embeded code to work for me.
I have now figured out that it works fine on my other hosting site. This is specific to my HostGator site. Any other HostGator users out there that may know what's going on?
I have this problem as well. After trying some of the hacks I got it to function, but it looks aweful. The embedded playlist shows two rows for each song instead of one, and I no longer get the artist field to show up, only the song titles. The upgrade to 0.12 basically screwed me. Trying to find the old one, which wasn't buggy for me at all, but to no avail. Is there an archive somewhere?
