Hi travist,

I first thank you for your effort and your marvelous obsession.

I drush make your mediafront demo from github. The only thing I changed was: MediaFront version: 7.x-1.x-dev to 7.x-1.2 (because at the time of the presentation the "dev version" was the latest release). Anyway, I succeeded doing every cases showed in the presentation, using video files.

I followed the same steps using audio files (mp3) to display a mp3player in a node.
- set a mediafront preset called "mp3player" (similar with "nodeplayer" from presentation) - displaying only the controllbar (you said it plays mp3)
- made a content type called "audio" (similar with "media" content from your presentation), with exactly same fields (except image); even with the same names: "media asset", "file upload" - hidden on fields display
- added a "Media Player" field, with "Media Player" widget - shown on fileds display as "mp3player" preset (controllbar only)

"mp3player" presets:
-Presentation Settings
Theme: smoothness; Template: default; Flash Player Skin: default

-Display Settings
Show Playlist - unchecked

-Controller Settings
Show Controller - checked
Controller Only - checked

When I created an "audio" content, either I added a mp3 file from "media asset" or "file upload", it loads the player but it appears my mp3 file isn't being pulled into the player (or at least it will not play).
When I switched the preset to "nodeplayer" for video files, it loads and plays well; when I check "Controller Only" box; the problem returns.

Am I missing something here?

thks a lot,
regards

I'm having a similar problem when it comes to getting audio to work. I've done very similar to #1 and appear to have a similar result. I've managed to re-create to working effect one video in a node, However when it comes to getting audio to play...

What formats does the player support? especially audio formats?

Please note if I can get the answers to these questions and get them to work i'd be glad to contribute to the documentation for version 7 to help out. I could produce a detailed step by step tutorial of how to use mediafront.

Hi there,
I have quite a similar issue, I installed Drupal 7.8
And after that, I have to disable Media and FileEntity because of the Missing bundle property on entity of type file error.
Just installed Media Front 7.x-1.2.
Create a preset called Audio_player.
On my article type, I have two file fields, audio_file_1 and audio_file_ 2, and then the media player.
Both audio_file_1 and audio_file_2 have been configured to be used as Media Content, but the Media Player always play just 1 file, even how many mp3 files I upload.
This also apply for multiple-file field.

Please help, I don't know what have I missed. I just want to make the player run all media files (configured as media content) in a page. Not sure, Media module play a role in here ?

Thanks in advance.

@travist,

Please help me with this issue; maybe there is a special template for loading audio/mp3 files in the OSM media player.

I can't figure out what presets to use with media content type to play audio files similar with video on "nodeplayer" preset.

I guess "control bar only" option will display only controls, not actually feeding the player.

I need your guidance.

Thanks a lot,
iancu

It is possible to load an audio file and display it in MediaFront.

I have been able to successfully load one mp3 audio track to a single node. The file is 15 minutes in length and has to load completely before it plays. I used the same preset I did for my video files (not controller only). I set up this preset with the recommended preset settings in the documentation. Instead of a seeing a video, OSM displays a gray audio track thumbnail while an audio file plays. I'm using 7.x.-1.4.

In MediaFront, I have never been able to successfully load more than one audio or video file into the same node. It will only play one of those files. This is discussed on #1288670: Multi-value emfield video field (again).
