Migrating to Drupal from Wordpress
Hello,
I am trying to migrate my site to drupal because I am in love with all the possibilities that drupal can give me. First off, i would like to say that the migration using the wp2drupal module went fine. Most everything transferred over, but am missing a few links to the pictures. This is easy enough to fix I can just copy them over, no big deal. My trouble is, on my wordpress site, which is a companion site to a podcast, is setup just how I like it. Each podcast post has a flash media player from 1 pixel out that takes the mp3 file *link* and substitutes the link for its media player. Of course enabling the viewer to play the podcast without having to download the content. Easy enough to do as the audio module in Wordpress just finds the link to the mp3 file and any mp3 file is then turned into a playable link. However in Drupal it does not do this. I realize that it may have something to do how the node is defined and whether or not the files are hosted on the same server as the drupal install. I use a seperate hosting service for the podcast media files so I believe this might be the reason why the player does not show up. I have looked far and wide, but have found nothing to appease my frustration so I am asking here on the forums if there is a workaround to this. I think TWIT has done this as they host their audio files on a different server but they are still able to get a decent looking player on thier posts. Any help would be appreciated. Thnks very much.

You might try the SWF Tools
You might try the SWF Tools module with the Jeroen Wijering Media Player.
I have tried it but still no
I have tried it but still no way to get a remote hosted file to show up:(
This should be quite
This should be quite possible, but I will be the first to admit that the video tools available in Drupal 5 aren't that user friendly.
Maybe I just have a hard time understanding it, but it took me a while to get basic functionality functioning, and I still get complaints that it isn't functioning. :-(
