I really like this add-on so, first off, amid the mayhem, let me say thank you!
I am having a problem, albeit a minor one: I am finding that the yellow border/box containing the url below the mp3 player does not extend to fit the length of the url.
I can see that this is because the containing div is set to 200 pixels but I'm not sure what would be the best way to rectify this situation.
Here's a link to what I am referring to: http://unibreakersbristol.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6&page=1#Comment_68
Hope someone could shed some light on what bit would be best to alter.
In jqmedia.js try changing line 197 from: var $el = jQuery('<div style="width:'+ embedParam.width +'px;" class="media ' + embedParam.name + '"></div>');to: var $el = jQuery('<div class="media ' + embedParam.name + '"></div>'); Does that do the trick? I think that makes it take up the whole width of the comment though.
OT: Conrad, what exactly is your icon supposed to be?
Thanks Stash, I've made that change. I'm making a collection of changes to various extensions so will post back once I've uploaded all my changes to let you know if/how it works out.
That code change actually didn't work for me - the yellow box still suffers the problem and, instead, the mp3 player has an increased height making it look like a video...
"hey i think i figured it out. I was encoding my mp3s with a sample rate of 48. So when the server re-encoded for playback it actually like did something they call chipmunking. I had the same problem when i uploaded my songs to soundclick. Thats where i found the answer to that probelm. I never knew about it because before that all i used was myspace and for some reason they dont have that problem or at least its very minimal. Anyways wanted to tell u its not really your player. U might just want to create a info about uploading mp3s with a sample rate of 44 or what ever. that is the standard i beleive anyways. Later dude."
looks like a forum member found out why its doing that
I have an odd issue with this... Ive been using it for a while and in any discussion, as soon as one youtube video is embedded, anyone trying to embedd one after that will end up with just the clickable link displaying rather then the player being embedded... ive read this whole 4 page thread and it doesnt seem like anyone else has reported this issue... any suggestions?
I was sick of not being able to have vimeo so I cracked it open and figured it out, if you want vimeo videos now you can download my updated code at

someone more qualified should clean it up and add it to the build :)
This extension is giving me problems on IE6. It creates a large amount of space between the top part and the first discussion whenever there is a link to a media in a comment within the discussion.

big thanks
var $el = jQuery('<div style="width:'+ embedParam.width +'px;" class="media ' + embedParam.name + '"></div>');

(I zoomed in with Safari using control-scroll)

Is there a database setting that I have missed or has the add-on been updated...or is it a cookie?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
yes the trouble is the addon treats all youtube links as if they were videos, including lnks to account pages and even youtube's blog
MySchizoBuddy: any chance of fixing that and putting up an update
The functionality of this extension is great but I think it's implementation needs to be tighter.
I promise to have a better look at the code at some point.
