CF9 Media Player

Get Started
1

I recently made a website for a record label. Now they want to include a media player , where people can listen to sample from songs just like here on Amazon.

I don’t have any experience with any media player(s). Does anyone around have any experience with media players in combination with CF.

Thank you in advance

I know nothing about CF, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you could just use plugins like FlowPlayer or [URL=“http://www.happyworm.com/jquery/jplayer/”]jPlayer with it.

That’s funny ralph :slight_smile: . Just a minute or so ago I saw you mentioning Flowplayer to someone in the design forums. I just had a look at both of your suggestions and jPlayer look quite promising to me. Thank you for that.

Heh, I was just going to point you to that thread, but I thought since you seemed to be talking about audio that it was worth mentioning jPlayer too.

Hi ralph. Have you used the jPlayer yourself, in combination with a server side program, other than CF? If so, is it easy to implement or would you advise FlowPlayer instead. Like I said I never used either, so hard to for me to say which one would be best for this purpose.

I can’t really advise, I’m afraid. I haven’t used jPlayer, but it looks pretty easy to use. FlowPlayer certainly is easy, but for audio I’d almost recommend trying jPlayer, as it looks very well suited.

One (I hope) last question about this (or should I start a new topic in the javascript forum?). I found the following page: jPlayer Demo. When I look at the source I see that the songs are stored in the jQuery Variable/Array.


	var myPlayList = [
		{name:"Tempered Song",filename:"http://www.miaowmusic.com/mp3/Miaow-01-Tempered-song.mp3"},
		{name:"Hidden",filename:"http://www.miaowmusic.com/mp3/Miaow-02-Hidden.mp3"},
		{name:"Lentement",filename:"http://www.miaowmusic.com/mp3/Miaow-03-Lentement.mp3"},
		{name:"Lismore",filename:"http://www.miaowmusic.com/mp3/Miaow-04-Lismore.mp3"},
		{name:"The Separation",filename:"http://www.miaowmusic.com/mp3/Miaow-05-The-separation.mp3"},
		{name:"Beside Me",filename:"http://www.miaowmusic.com/mp3/Miaow-06-Beside-me.mp3"},
		{name:"Bubble",filename:"http://www.miaowmusic.com/mp3/Miaow-07-Bubble.mp3"},
		{name:"Stirring of a Fool",filename:"http://www.miaowmusic.com/mp3/Miaow-08-Stirring-of-a-fool.mp3"},
		{name:"Partir",filename:"http://www.miaowmusic.com/mp3/Miaow-09-Partir.mp3"},
		{name:"Thin Ice",filename:"http://www.miaowmusic.com/mp3/Miaow-10-Thin-ice.mp3"}
	];

I am not that familiar with jQuery, to know, how to make it work that the files are stored in any server side (may it be CF, PHP, etc.) Variable/Array instead. Do you or anyone else around can advise me in this?

Thank you in advance
