Hi,

first of all gratulation for this great component!

The only problem that I have is that the player doesn´t work correct.
I checked everything (songs, time, url, paths etc.), but player only works if I press first a voting button or if I add a comment. When then the site is reloading, the url in the browser changes from


"index.php?option=com_muscol&view=album&id=1&Itemid=204"

to

"index.php?option=com_muscol[&][amp;]view=album[&][amp;]id=1&Itemid=204"



(without the []) and then the player works correct.

Can you please help me fix this?

Greetings and thank you in advance

    hello

    probably it's just a parameter missconfiguration.

    please paste this in your browser (with the URL of your site at the beginning, of course):

    ndex.php?option=com_muscol&view=album&id=1&Itemid=204&format=feed&type=xspf

    this is the XML file of the songs being played by the player. there, you'll see the PATH of each file.

    this way, you'll be able to see if it's pointing to the right location on each file

    let me know what you see

    hello,

    thank you for your fast answer!

    I tried it and saw that the program was pointing to folder "/songs". My settings in the configuration of muscol were "/dlav" but for some reason I don´t know it was not taking the changes although the new folder path was shown correct in the settings at albums-site near the "scanning folders" button and also correct in the configuration settings.
    Now I changed the name of my folder on the server to /songs and changed it back to /songs also in the configuration settings, and now the player is working perfectly!

    I don´t know why the changes were not accepted but I think I can live with the folder named to "/songs" :laugh:

    Thank you very much for rapid help - now all works super!

    Greetings

    actually, you can change the folder name, that's not a problem.

    what was happening is that you cahnged the GLOBAL parameters, probably, but not the MENU ITEM specific parameters.

    that made the menu item parameters override the "/dlav" param, set by the global parameters, to the default "/songs"

    do you know what I mean? :)

    yes I know what you mean! I thought I had controlled everything again and again and was also looking in the php-files, but never had the idea to check the menu item specific parameters!

    Thanks again for your help; I´m happy that everything is now working!
