Hi, I like this module as I like the player and intend to use it with audio.module for my site but it seems quite new as it is not really documented yet.

I'm trying to get it worked with audio.module, so I followed your instruction:
1. Activate audio module
2. No need to patch as of 15 Oct. 2009
3. Activate sm2
4. Add a CCK node reference field, and set up to choose from audio content type
5. In display, choose "Audio integration. Soundmanager2"

So in audio content-type that was included with audio.module, I added a Node Reference field.
New field: Soundmanager / field_sm

In Display Fields, I selected: "Audio node. SM2 page-player style" as that is the only option that has got something to do with SM2. But nothing happened. My audio-node display no player, but only a text link to the mp3 file itself.

I'd checked the settings for audio.module and soundmanager.module and make sure everything is correctly configured (nothing much there).

I am able to make the player working if I setup my own content-type with custom CCK filefield. But not with audio.module where the filefield is already integrated in.

I attached 3 screenshots.

Maybe the documentation is not clear enough, but there are 2 ways of interaction with audio module.

What I understand from the pictures, you are tying to achieve is getting the player in the audio node, (please, tell me if I am wrong). This is done via the sm2_audio module, which lets you choose an extra player (ui360) in admin/settings/audio/players

If you want to use page player, you need to create a nodereference field in another content type, let that be "release" content type. Then that nodereference will reference audio nodes.
When you create a "release" and select audio nodes in that field, they will be presented as page-player.

hope this helps

Hi all,

I am using the second method of adding soundmanager by putting it on my release content type and then using a nodereference field to select the audio content type files I want.

The problem is the player is not rendering as I would expect it to, it styles the track listing but when I click on one of the links, it takes me to a a page where it embeds and plays the track as a quicktime. If I click "More info" it takes me to the actual audio node. An example of this behaviour is at http://www.goldfishlive.com/goldfish2/content/frontpage and the debug message is being output at the bottom of the screen.

Any help with getting this working would be great.

Thanks
Gregg

@iaminawe I think I know what is the problem.

First the flash is not loading and it is because the path to flash it not OK, and that is because the base_path() is not working as expected.

I assume you are using version 2.x

Please, try latest dev version, I just committed some changes, and let me know if this is solved.
