Compatible with DokuWiki
2009-12-25+
Plays a namespace full of MP3s or FLV videos in a flashplayer
This extension has not been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues.
Similar to flashplayer, flowplay, flowplay2, mp3play
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 download link given above. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

{{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 |

Bugs/Caveats/Todos
I would very much like this plugin updated for Angua. It is the only Jukebox for Dokuwiki able to play variable lists of audio-files. We use it for an audio-archive of talks. We encountered the following problem with Angua:
- The timebar did not seem to work, loading progress is “shown” (but too fast to be true), play progress is visible
- you could no longer jump within a recording (mandatory for talks)
- After some time the audio jumps back to the start, progress-counter (time) goes nuts and klickers between values
Basically this is a great plugin that makes Dokuwiki applicable for a whole domain. I guess these problems could be caused by the switch of the Java-engine in Angua. The Jukebox runs perfect for more than a year now on Anteater. (Harald Ronge)
- 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.
