jquerymedia: player size wrong: seperate mp3 and video player?

I have done this before by doing the following:

1. I have two file fields called audio_file and video_file (this is just as an example you can have any any amount of fields with any names)

2. In your template.php file override the theme_filefield function so that your audio and video fields have different css classes.

For example (again you might want to make this different depending on how you set up your fields and if you have more unrelated file fields or use a different method of distinguishing between the file types):

<?php
function theme_filefield($file) {
  $node = node_load($file['nid']);
  if (user_access('view filefield uploads') && is_file($file['filepath']) && $file['list']) {
    $path = ($file['fid'] == 'upload')
                ? file_create_filename($file['filename'], file_create_path($field['widget']['file_path']))
                : $file['filepath'];

    $icon = theme('filefield_icon', $file);
    $url = file_create_url($path);
    $desc = $file['description'];

    if (substr($file['filemime'], 0, 5) == 'audio') {
      $output = '<div class="filefield-item media-audio">'. l($desc, $url) .'</div>';
    }
    else {
      $output = '<div class="filefield-item media-video">'. l($desc, $url) .'</div>';
    }

    return $output;
  }
  else {
    return '';
  }
}
?>

3. In a nodeapi function somewhere add something like this:

<?php
  function mymodule_nodeapi (&$node, $op, $a3, $a4) {
    switch ($op) {
      case 'view':
        jq_add('jquery_media', array('invoke media' => TRUE));
        drupal_add_js("  $(document).ready(function() { $('.media-audio a').media( { width: ".variable_get('jquery_media_media_width', 400).", height: 20} ); });", 'inline');
        break;
    }
  }
?>

4. In the settings screen for jquery_media, make sure extra settings -> classes -> media -> auto-invoke media class is not checked (your nodeapi takes care of the invoking).

From memory that was all I did and it worked.

This will make it so that anything that is in one of your file fields that has a mime type starting with audio will be rendereed in the different sized media player and everything else will use your normal size settings.

Actually, my solution was done for a Drupal 5 website. But the solution should be pretty similar in 6.

Also, if you don't already have it installed you will need to jq module (http://drupal.org/project/jq) for this solution to work as it provides the jq_add function.

http://drupal.org/node/407510 is a duplicate of this issue.

there really should be options for different content types and file formats.

Do a search for "size" in the issue query and you will find a bunch of relating problems.

Hope this got solved soon, because i really like this module :(

Anyone figure make a setting for this yet? subscribing...

I made a ghetto solution (using default jmedia.media.js that comes with module so @version: 0.81 (06/05/2008)):

$.fn.media.swf = function(el, opts) {
    if (!window.SWFObject && !window.swfobject) {
        // roll our own
        if (opts.flashvars) {
            var a = [];
            for (var f in opts.flashvars)
                a.push(f + '=' + opts.flashvars[f]);
            if (!opts.params) opts.params = {};
            opts.params.flashvars = a.join('&');
        }
        return generate(el, opts, 'flash');
    }

    var id = el.id ? (' id="'+el.id+'"') : '';
    var cls = opts.cls ? (' class="' + opts.cls + '"') : '';
    var $div = $('<div' + id + cls + '>');

	// ******** change width for mp3 files/player
	var src = opts.original_src; // original src for mp3 is not in opts.src anymore
	if ( /\.mp3\b/i.test(src) ) {
	  //console.log('mp3');
	  opts.width=290; //size of my default 1px out player
	  opts.height=24;
	  opts.bgColor = "#FFFFFF";
	  opts.caption = ""; //If want to hide the caption as it makes player smaller for height I want
	}
        //********

and then set that opts.original_src to original src, so you have the filename to look at, I also added some code to choose the correct player based on if mp3 or flv... before it sets the flashvars incorrectly for 1px Out Player as mentioned in this thread http://drupal.org/node/244524#comment-3931340:

// map flv and mp3 files to the swf player by default
$.fn.media.flv = $.fn.media.mp3 = function(el, opts) {
    var src = opts.src;
    var player = /\.mp3\b/i.test(src) ? $.fn.media.defaults.mp3Player : $.fn.media.defaults.flvPlayer;
    opts.original_src=opts.src; //use later to set correct options
	opts.src = player;
	

	if ( /\.mp3\b/i.test(src) ) {
	  opts.flashvars = $.extend({}, { soundFile: src }, opts.flashvars );		
	} else { 
	  opts.src = opts.src + '?file=' + src;
	  opts.flashvars = $.extend({}, { file: src }, opts.flashvars );	
	}		
	
    return $.fn.media.swf(el, opts);
};

Think you can pass separate height/width now on a settings page to pass to that audio width/height part, but I dont have the time to set.

Attached is the current file I using (rename minus the .txt):
