Good news for people who want to use my Audio Player on a non-WordPress site: Mindy McAdams has very kindly written a nice tutorial explaining exactly how to do it.
Thanks Mindy!

May I ask,
does the player support m3u streaming or not?
There’s a previous asking the same, but still no reply…
thx,

hi martin you can delete my post above. I didnt see the option of page-transparent in player setting-I already set that to transparent and it fixed the overlap issue, I think this option better be default because, if any color the page is, we should have turn on wmode transparent so the drop menu dont overlap and get behind the player.

hi martin, when overlap with drop menu the player get on top and the drop menu behind..this happen because you dont put wmode transparent to it..but when I think back maybe it because you can customize color on the player..have you try to put flash properties wmode:tansparent and test it overlap with drop down menu suc as in my website here: http://www.alquran-melayu.com/1-al-fatihah/

Hi Martin,
Audio player does play radio stream. I used it here: http://www.dyrdam.com . Of course the language is not English but the Live Radio link is streamed. The streaming server is Icecast with LiveIce as the encoder.
Of course, if the page is closed, the streaming stops. But if the page is reloaded, the player plays the real time stream. If it is stopped and played again, it will play the downloaded stream data from where it started the first time.

@chris: my guess is that there is a problem with your mp3 file. I can’t see why the player would play it twice. The easiest way for me to help is to see an example. Post a URL and I’ll have a look.
As for the continuous play web radio thing, you won’t be able to achieve this with my player. Firstly, my player doesn’t support radio streams and secondly, the only way to achieve continuous play is to open a music player in a popup window (otherwise the player gets reset everytime you load a page).

Hi,
I set up this great player on a website. But I have two problems :
1. When it plays an mp3, it plays it twice with a decay. This is annoying as it prevents me from using it at all. What do you think is the problem and what ought to be done to fix it ?
2. I would like to have a continuous music, even when the page is reloaded. I don’t think there is anywhere in the site structure where I could paste the code to make it possible.
So, I thought I could try and play a free webradio instead (then it would probably just get on with the tune when the page is reloaded, not start it from the beginning again). Yet, I don’t know if it is possible, and if so, how to play a webradio with the audio player script. Could you help ?
Thanks and keep on the good job !
Chris

Is there a way to increase the buffer time so I can use a little higher bitrate for dial-up users?

Hello,
I’m working on improving my website (www.gulivert.com) using Joomla.
I’m trying to set the 1pixelout audio player with the tutorial but I didn’t manage in.
The fact is that I don’t know which way to install it (if I’m in a blogger use or not for example).
I’m using for my website a Joomlaschack Template, the “empire” one.
I don’t know which HTML code shall I use (the long or the short from the tutorial) and where to place it in the code and in which code (the template HTML code ?).
The player.swf and audio-player.js files are placed in my joomlasite/audio/ directory on my hard disk (I’m developping my website offline).
One thing : I’m working on a macintosh MacBook ; is that a problem (I don’t think so) ?
The thing is that on the preview of my site, the player appears and when I clic on “play” it gets longer but the signal “error opening file” appears.
Shall I just set online my website to try to check it ?
So please help me, I’m desperatly trying everything I can and it doesn’t work.
Thanks for all,
Best,
Matthieu

I added the following in my header template:
and this fixed the error message. I think this should fix the Buffering issue. Thanks for pointing this out.
