Issue Summary
I do not know if this is the place but it woul be great to add support for the sound manager 2 (http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/) for example a field to be formated for the soundmanager.
Comments
#1
I agree, would be ideal, if possible.
#2
I am the maintainer of the soundmanager2 cck formatter. Maybe it could be good to merge the modules...

oops, thanks for the correction.

This is coming.
I looked at the Sound Manager 2 project but for now I'm actually working up a SWF Tools native version - there looked as if there would be a bit too much effort to get the two talking.
I'm only experimenting locally at the moment but I have the inline mp3 links rendering as players, and just got the 360ui player running.
It needs a LOT of polishing, but I'll try to commit something vaguely usable in the next few days.
It will be worth it - it's very neat for playback of single audio files in compact player!

Basic early version committed on DRUPAL-6--3. This actually wasn't so hard to write! Only have very basic configuration at the moment - the settings page lets you choose from four types of player, including the ui360 with visualisation which looks pretty good!
#7
Another commit and it seems pretty good now. More settings exposed on the config page, and the module is now profile aware so you can have different types of SoundManager 2. If anyone tries this I'd be interested to know how you get on.
#8
Thanks for doing this Stuart. I'm really excited about using in on a site I have. Can't wait for the release.
#9
Thank you Stuart.
Are you planing on implementing the list player and the new 360 ui? If so, maybe my module has no sense anymore.
This is great work, swf tools is one of the best modules I ever tried.
#10
Sorry - I didn't mean to deprecate your module - it's just that when I looked at the work needed to support the SWF Tools profile system I decided it was easier for me to start from scratch!
List player would make sense - the first commit was just to see if I could integrate it. I'll have a look at the list player in a few days - I'm working on some Views stuff at the moment and it's making my head hurt... :-)
#11
No problem! you do not have to apologize. First I tried to make a patch for swf tools but it was way to complex for me to decipher the code. I will have a look at your new code and see if I can contribute by adding more players for soundmanager2.
Again, thanks for your work!
#12
Absolutely!
As part of preparation for the 6.x-3.x release I've trimmed, pruned, and in lots of cases re-written whole chunks. The system is now much cleaner, and should be more transparent. Once the release is out I plan to really work on the docs to make clear what goes on. In re-writing it even I've had to relearn some of what it does, and why!
My ambition is that one day someone writes a player module and contributes it back...
#13
I will be very pleased to contribute with a list player for soundmanager, I will be expectant with your re-write and code cleaning.
#14
Regarding playlists: it doesn't seem to work right now. I figured that one would need to add "playNext = true" to the players config object in order to get a playlist that actually plays from beginning to end. (default is playNext:false).
I tried this hardcoded in swftools/soundmanager2/swftools_soundmanager2.js for the 360 player (line 14):
threeSixtyPlayer.config.playNext = true;
The question is, how do we do this respecting the SWFTools API (i didn't look into that yet)?
#15
Playlists in SM2 don't work yet. Support for this player is very new and at the moment is more of a proof of concept feature.
Being honest I probably won't start on this before the release of 6.x-3.x as I am trying to hold off any new features and get this release out.
But once it's done then I'll look to extend the capabilities of the module (or hope that someone decides to take up the challenge to do it and contribute it back!)

Hello Merry Gentlemen.
Any news on this 47 weeks later? Almost an entire year has gone by and silence... :(
#17
Only IE9 64bits version reports this:
"Script Error
An error has occurred in the script on this page
Line : 1
Char : 1
Error : Access is denied
Code : 0
URL : http://.../sites/all/libraries/soundmanager2/swf/soundmanager2.swf
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
YES - NO"
I have to click it maybe 14 times before I can see the website main page.
When using the 32bit IE9, I get on the contrary a message what I want to do with the swf file; download or play?
But when opting for playing (I think there ain't a file yet):
"VLC can't recognize the input's format:
The format of 'file:///C:/Users/A/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/ULSC1W00/soundmanager2.swf' cannot be detected. Have a look at the log for details."
(other browsers don't report anything in respect to soundmanager)
=> What should I do? remove SoundManager2 or SWF Tools, or..?
