Is there an easy way to add all of the audio on a site into one playlist?

i think this would be do-able in the 2.x with a view.

the audio_feeds module in 5.x-2.x-dev provides a player (and feeds) for views.

Servus!

As much as I like the audio module, I'm trying for more than two days to get more than one song into the playlist of the xspf extended web player. That site runs on 5.5, audio 5.x-2.x-dev, and also the other modules (view, view bonus, etc.) are at the current release state. For starters, my theme is Garland (to keep the case simple)

I also added that code to template.php

function garland_audio_attach_list($nids, $teaser = FALSE) {
  drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'audio_attach') .'/audio_attach.css');
  // generate an XSPF player for this playlist
  $player = audio_get_players('name', variable_get('audio_feeds_default_player', 'xspf_extended'));
  $playlist_url = url('node/' . arg(1) .'/xspf', NULL, NULL, TRUE);
  $output = theme($player['theme_xspf'], $playlist_url);
  
  foreach ($nids as $aid) {
    $audio = node_load($aid);
    $audio = node_prepare($audio, $teaser);
    $title = $audio->status ? l($audio->title, 'node/' . $audio->nid, NULL, NULL, NULL, TRUE) : check_plain($audio->title);
    $items[] = '<div class="title">'. $title .'</div>';
  }
  // removed individual players
  $output .= theme('item_list', $items, null, 'ol', array('class' => 'audio-attach-list'));
  return $output;
}

I've set up a CCK node which defines various fields to hold the information about an artist (i.e. text, embedded media, date, ... fields and also audio attach ability). I created several audio nodes uploading MP3 files and attached them to the various artist records.

Issue 1
When I open the CCK node in view mode, the XSPF extended player is shown, but empty, and all the attached audio nodes appear as an ol with links to the respective audio nodes beneath the player. Hm...

Issue 2
I also created a view (page view, showing all published nodes of type "audio" (==6)).
In view mode, only the first node (with lowest node-nid) shows up, but title/artist reads "undefined"
Checking the page source, I found the following:

<div class='view view-audioxlist'><div class='view-content view-content-audioxlist'><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/sites/all/modules/audio/players/xspf_extended.swf" width="350" height="153">
  <param name="movie" value="/sites/all/modules/audio/players/xspf_extended.swf" />
  <param name="menu" value="false" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <param name="FlashVars" value="playlist_url=http%3A%2F%2Fweb11.thehost.at%2Faudioxspf%3Fxspf">
  <embed src="/sites/all/modules/audio/players/xspf_extended.swf" flashvars="playlist_url=http%3A%2F%2Fweb11.thehost.at%2Faudioxspf%3Fxspf" width="350" height="153" />
</object>...

The playlist_url parameter looks rather strange to me but I have no idea if that's the problem...

Anyway, I'm rather clueless with this issues -- first it worked with two nodes (out of six), then I zapped all the audio nodes and imported them after installing 5.x-2.x-dev but since I get only one audio node to the playlist and that is also labeled "undefined"...

Any hints? I'm getting low on hair to tear :)

Yup. I've checked, x-checked and triple checked all the settings everywhere but I can't figure how the various components get together.
As I said, I had it "somewhat right" one time, but there were four (out of six) soundfiles missing from the list -- but they playback nicely through the xpsf player... Very confusing...

Thanks for pointing me to the view type anyway,

Norbert

I also have exact same problem.

1) I was doing wrong url naming in view. I gave to the view url audio which I guess clashes with the Audio menu which could be accessed with /audio.

2) I assume one need to use 5.x-2.x dev instead of 5.x-1.3 for the playlist to be displayed together with the player.
