Syntax and Usage

To embed the jukebox, you need to use the following syntax, where namespace is a media namespace with MP3 or FLV files.

{{jukebox>namespace}}

Optionally you can give additional parameter keywords separated by spaces:

{{jukebox>namespace wii center}}

The following keywords are supported:

Keyword	Result
left	left aligns the player
right	right aligns the player
center	centers the player
shuffle	enables the shuffle mode
repeat	enables the repeat mode
autoplay	automatically start playing after loading
skinname	Use the given skin to style the player (see below)

Skins

The player can be skinned through images and a skin.xml file. The skin format is documented here.

The following skins are currently available:

When no skin is given original is used.

Bugs/Caveats/Todos

Video seems to be of bad quality when used with the video skin
TimeBar doesn't work in video skin
playlist is currently not cached this might create a high load for large playlists (because of ID3 scanning)
Support for local track images should be added
Clean up filename when no ID3 tag data is available

Patches and skins welcome.
