This plugin uses Lacy Morrow's Xspf Jukebox flash player to embed a playlist of MP3 or FLV flash movies. It reads track data from ID3 tags and tries to fetch matching cover art from Amazon.

Download and Installation

Download and install the plugin using the Plugin Manager using the following URL. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

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:

  • cassette
  • ipodblack
  • ipodwhite
  • itunes
  • minitunes
  • minitunesreduced
  • orangeeye
  • orangeeyeslim
  • original
  • slim
  • slimoriginal
  • squareone
  • verticalminitunes
  • video
  • walkmerican
  • wii
  • winamp
  • winampsmall

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.

Error opening /lib/plugins/jukebox/list.php?ns=...

Using this plugin in my farm setup the flash player gives the above error. The server logs dont show any request to the file. changing syntax.php line 123 to

            'playlist_url' => DOKU_URL.DOKU_REL.'lib/plugins/jukebox/list.php?ns='.$data['ns'].'&t=',

helped.

I have yet no idea why. Might be some strange server setup on my side …

thx for the plugin !!! — sf 2009/02/10 16:18

Same error for me, but I must hardcode the URL (http…) for the plugin to work properly. I'm using DokuWiki 2009-02-14 on a shared hosting. No farming. — Laynee 2009/03/28 14:21

Undefined (?)

After given the correct namespace :-) (without DOKU_URL. change) the jukebox load, and say “start”… but it doesn't start.
The next message is “undefined”.
What mean that? There is only one mp3. The file itself works with the mp3play-plugin on the same side fine.
Any idea ?

Early Fading

The tracks are fading out, before they have reached the end, and the next track starts, overlapping the former one.
This is quite annoying, since I would like the whole audio file to be played before the next one starts.
Any solution for this?
