Play button does not stream audio

humm, that looks like you might have a bad temp directory. it seems that drupal doesn't like using temp directories outside the drupal root.

I am getting the exact same issue after I upgraded to the latest version of "audio" module for 4.7 (the previous release for 4.7 worked fine).

I have tried everywhere to search out where drupal is being instructed to write to this /tmp/audio directory, but I have been unable to find it. Coincidentially, /tmp/audio is the default import path for the audio_import module.

I have searched in the audio.module text files and even in the database itself for references of the /tmp/audio path, but have been unable to find anything!!!! Very annoying.

The closest reference I have found to it is when the audio module goes looking for a temp folder to place the uploaded audio in, and uses the file_directory_temp() function of Drupal HEAD to do so. More here: http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/file_directory_temp

Should I change the /tmp/ in the includes/file.inc, line 669, to refer to an alternate location, ie, one that is configured and accessible to Drupal?

I guess I get the award for being the biggest dummy this evening.

All I had to do to fix this issue was to define the temporary path in administer/settings File system settings as a absolute path. Eg, /home/username/tmp as my files are stored on a shared hosting service.

Cheers...

yeah, i need to add a little code to provide a warning when the temp directory isn't writeable.

I got the error:

* The selected file /tmp/tmp_r7tPwS could not be uploaded, because the destination /tmp/audio/STAN ANTHEM.mp3 is not properly configured.
* warning: Attempt to assign property of non-object in /home/stanisli/public_html/modules/audio/audio.module on line 616.
* warning: Attempt to assign property of non-object in /home/stanisli/public_html/modules/audio/audio.module on line 617.
* The following errors where encountered while reading the file's ID3 tags:
o Could not open file ""
* Artist field is required.
* Title field is required.

I made these changes in
Admin->settings->File System settings

1.Changed File system path from /files to /home/stanisli/public_html/files

2.Changed Temporary directory from /tmp to /home/stanisli/tmp

I was able to upload audio. However I also screwed up my Image gallery..no thumbnails. I had to re-install all images.

1. In Firefox, On clicking on the Play button, the Play button changes to a rotating circle but I get no sound. I can download the mp3 files

2. The Play button does not show up on Internet explorer which is Ok for me as I use Firefox but most of my users use IE.

Any pointers will be highly appreciated.

I've tried setting temp directory to an absolute file path, and permissions to rwxrwxrwx.
The play button only works intermittently and i cannot reproduce conditions under which it works (or not). I am on ADSL broadband and testing under IE6 and Firefox. I too have recently upgraded to Drupal 4.7.4

this is happening to me too, after upgrading to 4.7.4 from 4.7.0, the play button no longer works.

any fix to this that anyone knows? very frustrating.

how about a link to your site?

Is this still a problem for people?

For those that are still having this problem - I found that the solution offered by miiimooo at the bottom of http://drupal.org/node/169504 resolved the issue for me.

sounds like this has been taken care of. if not please re-open this issue with more detail.
