    That would be a great way to workaround the issue with the "error" code in the player. If anyone figures out how to preload a set playlist or song, that would be great.

    Thanks!

    hello!!!

    this "error" is actually not an error: it's the default message that JW player shows when the playlist is EMPTY.

    unfortunately, JW player does NOT allow to change this message for now..
    (yes, it would be much better if it said "Playlist empty"... but JWplayer does not allow this currently...)

    if you ADD some items to your playlist (just click "add to playlist" button next to a song) then this message will disapear and you will see your playlist!

    hello germi,

    I wasnt trying to change the message, i just wanted to know if i could have a playlist load automatically. or have a single (or multiple) mp3 load automatically so that all the user has to do is click 'play'.

    I have searched the forums and it isn't clear to me how to create the playlist or where to put the playlist, i looked at the 'playlist demo' page but it is still unclear to me.

    is there a tutorial anywhere or another thread or post here somewhere that i may have missed that will give me a little more detail or step by step guide please

    thankyou

    hello!

    of course.
    sorry, there IS a thread on the forum on how to do this:
    http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/en/forum/version-1-5/default-playlist.html

    basically, you need to add this piece of code:


    if($playlist_id == "") $playlist_id = 4;


    (4 being the ID of the playlist you want to load as default)

    put this on line 35 of modules/mod_muscol_jwplalyer/helper.php

    let me know

    Thankyou Germi, that's very helpful indeed

    oh and whilst i think of it...do you know if there is any way at all of playing a shoutcast stream with this player or if you know of a player that plays shoutcast streams with html5/flash fallback, hope you don't mind me asking.

    i am setting up an internet radio website and although i can find a dozen flash players i would like a player that can be seen on the ipad and iphone (therefore the html5)

    thanks again
