niftyplayer looks like it might work well for a vanilla extension. I wouldnt know where to begin but ill give it a shot and see what I can come up with. If anyone more seasoned could peek at it that would be awesome as well.

i really think that wordpress one would be awesome. i wish i could hack that shit into something decent, it's really a great piece of programming.

dejitaru - I love that one. Is small (4 kb), open-source, and has volume control. Kewl. I think I'll actually start using it to play my band's demos.

Here's my solution, sort of, not an extension, not really available to my users but as admin, I can make it happen!

If you don't mind using the object tag, I've used the dewplayer, as I mentioned before, with: <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.yourdomain.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/dewmp3-1.4-EN/dewplayer.swf?son=http://www.yourdomain.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/dewmp3-1.4-EN/the_thrill.mp3" width="200" height="20"><param name="movie" value="http://www.yourdomain.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/dewmp3-1.4-EN/dewplayer.swf?son=http://www.yourdomain.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/dewmp3-1.4-EN/the_thrill.mp3" /> </object> You can see it in operation on my forum page called Photographs. I was looking at converting a WP plugin called audio-player (as mentioned above) to an extension, but haven't had the time.

Hey jimw,
Why does that page (http://www.wurster.ws/wordpress/) insist on making me download the Flash 9 player over and over again?

I already had it installed but thought I should update it any way, nope, it still tells me to install it.

:-(

jimw

I don't know but will look into that. Are you using FF or IE or Opera?

Wanderer

Safari and Firefox on Mac OS X

That's weird. Could you check to see if it does the same thing on my other blog? I know that there is code I have used that checks to see if flash player is installed and then asks you to install it. Maybe I have that in one of my posts. I'll check.

jimw

I did do a little reading on flash and html on the listapart site. It looks like the differnet browsers handle the object tag and the embed tag differently. However, on my site, I must have some javascript running which tries to check to see whether you have the flash player installed and that it is the correct version. I will now look for this.

@Wanderer: How did you make that (play the mp3 in a comment) happen?

It is made up of an iFrame with 2 pages:
Page 1 is blank with the play button (linked to page 2)
Page 2 has the stop button (linked back to page 1) with the sound file embedded (autoplay)

Any progress? nope?

this is like 30 sec work to add it to HTML formatter HTML formatter already does flash video, adding flash audio is straight forward.
