Error Saving Song/Player Not Playing?

I THINK I've done everything correctly, however, for some reason when I try to upload a song via the front-end it says Error Saving Song

And also when I click on the player it just doesn't play (a song I uploaded in the back-end, that is)

Any ideas?

Thanks!

    did you upgraded your jwplayer?

    there's no /songs folder on your site!! look: http://www.thesearchers.org/songs/

    of course songs are not playing.. they are not there!! :lol:

    first create it and try to upload a song again on the backend.

    if it workds, then try if the frontend problem is solved

    Hmmm. Ok, so I originally changed my folder from "songs" to "audio" and specified that in the parameters.

    However, I changed it back to "songs" in the parameters and then created a folder. I then uploaded a song. This time the song played. However, when I tried to upload a song via the front-end it still says "Error Saving Song" but this time I think it played.

    I say think because, you can see that there are three songs here, but only two play (#2 and #3) I'm assuming #1 is the song I uploaded before when I had my folder specified as "audio":
    http://www.thesearchers.org/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=songs&id=2&Itemid=264

    Also, in the back-end, when I go to the Album it only shows the one song that I uploaded in the back-end. None that I uploaded via the front-end (either the one that is playing or the one that is not playing. So I can't delete the song that's not working, hmf, haha)


    Oh, and yes, I have the new jwplayer 2.0.0

    ok, let me check.

    maybe I forgot to add something on the upgrade file.

    in any case, let me get this straight: I see two Hurricane songs, but no albums associed to it. that is clearly a mistake (should be this way). this songs were upload in the frontend or the backend?

    PS - haha, also, when you add a comment it totally 'removes' the modules.

    Try it here. Even if you refresh the page the modules don't reappear. It's weird. :laugh:

    that's only a ITEMID handling thing.

    this happened sometimes before also (before version 2)

    be sure to set your DEFAULT ITEMID (on MC parameters) to 264, in your case.

    do you understand what Itemid is for in joomla? :) its a bit tricky

    can you provide me a user/password so I can try to upload in the frontned?

    also: it's fantastic that you are posting here the issues or small problems you find. that helps so much. I hope you understand there are always some small things missing on first update versions ;) so you're being a little bit an official tester :lol: hope I can have a better update package tomorrow or in a couple days.

    now I'm going to bed :lol: can you just keep testing and add a UNIQUE new post tomorrow with the issues found?
    otherwise I'm terrified to have 100 new forum posts tomorrow morning! xD so better make only one ;)

    thanks bro, you're being very helpful!

    talk to you tomorrow! :)

    No problem. Glad I can be of some help. I totally understand the issues that can arise after the first release of a new/completely updated and revised component!

    I sent you an admin name and password to your contact email. Good Luck! :laugh:

    Also, I entered my ItemID in the MS parameters but when I added a comment it still 'removed' or made the modules 'disappear' ... is this a Joomla thing or an MS thing? or a Joomla and MS thing? :laugh:

    EDIT: I've seemed to have gotten the ItemId thing to work for most pages. EXCEPT when I add a comment. I've added the ItemId to the parameters. But whenever I add a comment on an album or artist page they just disappear.

    Not sure if this is an MS thing or a Joomla thing. But when I go to the album form the items beneath the three tabs are being pushed down to the height of the Joomla module to the left.

    You can see here:
    http://www.thesearchers.org/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=album&layout=form&Itemid=265

    Or in the screen capture http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/images/fbfiles/images/ms_album_layot.jpg

    This really isn't a problem, but is there a way to allow the admin to decide whether or not they want the registered user to see the following items in the front-end for each area:

    Song Form Layout
    - Songwriters
    - Chords
    - Lyrics

    Artist Form
    - Metadata

    Album Form
    - Metadata
    - Secondary Images


    I think you get the idea. I'm just thinking in terms of user-ease of use. Most average users have no idea what 'metadata' is and so there is no need for them to see this. Giving the admin the ability to make it as simple as they want (by choosing what is visible for the front-end user) can only benefit all around. I think. :laugh:

    first thing:

    in response to the thread 4595:

    this strange view has something to do with your template fiels, that organize the DIV with some rare floats... (do you know CSS?)

    I made a little testing and I could see that if you add this on your template file, this strange layout should display properly...

    #maincontent-block {
    float:left;
    margin-left:0;
    width:752px;
    }

    you should know some CSS to understand what I'm trying here ;)

    also, about the problem with the "songs not playing": there was some kind of problem with that two songs (hurricane), I dont know why they seemed to have "no album" associated. I guess you did something strange ;)

    in any case, I just created a test album, with a test song, and everythign works just fine: http://www.thesearchers.org/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=album&id=2&Itemid=264

    also, check this "Itemid" thing: you have setted 264, 269 :S :S this is strange, there should be only one number

    to both of you:

    this last issue (the modules being "lost" on the way :lol:) is just a URL parsing problem. as you can see for instance in this URL http://www.thesearchers.org/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=album&id=2&Itemid=264 , JOOMLA just replaced the "&" symbols for "&", wich is causing that disaster ;)

    I'm trying to find a solution for this. is JOOMLA who is doing this, not MC!! :S ;)
