Audio field issues

Audio field issues was created by ninokorinteli
Hi,
the audio field is idle on the profile view, it displays player but i cannot play the file, basically play sign is not clickable, when i click on play looks like it wraps itself and the other fields in the frame (screenshot attached)

Also if uploading it gives particular allowed file types: audio/mp4, audio/mpeg, audio/ogg, audio/wav, audio/webm, but when i'm trying upload mp4 file it gives me red message: 'Please enter a value with a valid extension'. what i might be doing wrong?

also is it possible to edit allowed file types, like with the file field? i noticed audio field does not have this option in it's parameters. may be somewhere else?

thank you
nino

i have CB 2.0.5, upgraded as soon as it was released and Joomla 3.3.6

i searched for the same topic and found this

www.joomlapolis.com/forum/153-professional-member-support/228139-solved-audio-files-upload?start=6#257211

i changed php.ini file so that post_max_size is slightly more then upload_max_filesize, after that .mp3 files start uploading although it takes a lot of time (why?), and its possible to play them in the player, i suspect player controls are idle when there is no file linked or uploaded. (?)

i was trying to link audio from myspace.com and was given fatal error: cannot access empty property... after that i disabled conditional (already had this issue before with other fields) and it gave me red error msg that only particular file types are allowed to be linked (see attachment 1); but the same files appear on file upload (see attachment 2)- must be by mistake?, as in reality it only takes .mp3; also reminding when i tried to upload (not link).mp4 file it gave me error.

also question: where i can correct file types, there is no option in audio file parameters where one can indicate preferable file extensions.
thank you

There's a jQuery validation issue that's fixed with nightly that causes the extension to not validate correctly. Medialement has also been upgraded to latest release with nightly. Please update to CB 2.x Nightly build found below.

If you upload a large file it's going to take time. You're uploading it to your sites server from your computer. If you've slow internet upload speed this will take awhile.

You can not link to any audio you want. It needs to be supported by the player and more importantly by the browser. In addition to that the link needs to be an actual audio link with an audio header if it's PHP, otherwise it needs to end in .mp3 for example.

You can't, it only allows the types that it can play; nothing more or less.

i updated CB 2.x Nightly, it would take mp3 files and links ending in .mp3;


got a question - what is 'actual audio link' and how it looks like as an url? how random user can identify it? pls give a hint

also if browsing audio file it says it should be audio/mp4, audio/mpeg, audio/ogg, audio/wav, audio/webm type, what are those file looking like as actual extensions? e.g. what is audio/mp4? .mp4a? .mp3?

also can i change the language of the message itself? i mean not changing the file types, or link types it can play, but the text to be more clear for end users?
thank you

An audio link is a link directly to an audio file. For example as follows.

http://www.example.com/music.mp3

also if browsing audio file it says it should be audio/mp4, audio/mpeg, audio/ogg, audio/wav, audio/webm type, what are those file looking like as actual extensions? e.g. what is audio/mp4? .mp4a? .mp3?

They're mimetypes. I've added a feature ticket to clean that up a bit in next CB release so it'll be extension based and easier to read.

also can i change the language of the message itself? i mean not changing the file types, or link types it can play, but the text to be more clear for end users?

Yes, it's a language string so you can translate it to whatever you like.
