Ignores player settings when set to display in HTML5 format

Same problem on two of my sites, my layout and design is now a mess! It's because of the new SoundCloud default player, which is that big now. SoundCloud field needs to be updated to display the old html5 version. This new player can be useful in some designs but most of the time the present one was thought for the old player.

No news from the developer. Could he let us know if he is working on a patch or an upgrade? Either, I will have to uninstall the module and copy-paste the SoundCloud iframe code in a new text field to do the job correctly. Give us an answer Mr Attila Fekete :-)

I'm also having the same issues. How can we fix this?

The new player is not bad, but it's important it fits the design you've built for your site. My problem is that it does not fit in one of my websites. SoundCloud staff should have proposed to choose the new player if wanted, keeping the previous slim one in order not to destroy page look. One can fix this, getting rid of SoundCloud Field and inserting the sound using an iframe copied and pasted from the SoundCloud website in a Drupal field. So it is possible to go back to the precedent player. But it's a big work on a website with a consequent amount of sounds. This module developer could fix it upgrading the code, but unfortunately, he seems to have disappeared.

:-/

Looking into this, sorry for the delay.

Attila,

Thanks so much for jumping on this. We're still using the D6 version but can adapt whatever solution you come up with. Very ugly and agree with the others that SoundCloud's switch is not for the better. I see they still have the option for the default player, so perhaps your module could be updated to direct to that by default.

Thanks so much for your work. This, if it can be fixed, can provide us a long needed solution to integrate iPads into our site which encourages use of sound.

THANKS!

Check latest dev, changes:
- added a configurable setting for the HTML5 display formatter: check '/admin/structure/types/manage/your_content_type/display' ,choosing the HTML5 player (formatter) you can also set the player type (classic OR "new" visual player)
- now each player type has it's own height setting, the visual player's got 3 fixed height options

If replacing a previous stable/dev release I recommend saving the field settings at least once, and clearing caches.

Hi Attila,

Thanks for tending to this. 2 things. First I get this message after updating to dev, saving and clearing caches.

Notice: Undefined index: html5_player in soundcloudfield_field_formatter_view() (line 394 of /home/placemea/public_html/sites/all/modules/soundcloudfield/soundcloudfield.module).
Notice: Undefined index: html5_player in soundcloudfield_field_formatter_view() (line 395 of /home/placemea/public_html/sites/all/modules/soundcloudfield/soundcloudfield.module).

Secondly, is there a way to have the picture precede the waveform as in this embed code taken from sound cloud?

Thanks again for everything.

Hey,
@CinemaSaville try latest dev, don't forget to run update.php
@ggevalt an update for D6 is on the way

@Attila
That fixed the error messages. Thanks. Now is there a way to have the picture precede the waveform like in the SC embed code?

Thanks again.

Thanks for the job Attila. Happy to go back to the ancient player on my site. As I said, the new player is interesting, but it can put a big mess in your design. You've got to consider it's new design to use it properly on your site.

@CinemaSaville: check the "Show artwork" option on your field settings page

Awesome job Attila! Thanks so much.

Attila.fekete, would you be willing to look into a similar issue in Media: SoundCloud? With your expertise, I think you should also consider maintaining that module too. Thanks for your consideration.

@Jay Lee: I'll have a look at it over the next few days

Attila.fekete, I actually decided to use your module for fields & Media: SoundCloud for the forums section on my website. So I'll still need a solution, but it's no longer a priority. Thanks for doing a fantastic job of maintaining this awesome module.

Attila.fekete, #16 & #18 have actually just been fixed. :)

Thanks for this module. I'm using the 7.x-1.4 version on a Drupal 7.32 install with the HTML 5 player (classic style), and everything is working well except for 'Width'.

I tried some other percent values, but the player always displays as 100% on the webpage. Adjusting 'Height for tracks' did work for me, so it seems like the 'SoundCloud Settings' > 'Width' field is the only thing that isn't working in my setup.

Thanks for looking into this further!
