Hi,

I think I may have found a bug.

If I upload an MP3 file with ID3 v2.2 info my (SWFTools loaded) 1pixelout player does not recognise the track/artist information.

If I then go into itunes and convert the v2.2 info to v.1.0 suddenly it works.

Is this a problem with SWF Tools or is it a 1PixelOut bug?

Thanks,
Ben

I'm noticing this behavior as well. Converting ID3 down to 1.0 severely truncates the metadata, but at least it allows the display of the metadata in the 1pixelout player, instead of just "Track 1." Unfortunately I need to have all the metadata included with the file, or at least the ability to specify a title (via CCK) to pull into the player. I've been looking through the issue queue all day but haven't been able to do it.

Success! Finally figured out how to substitute cck fields as ID3 metadata.

Within the node's template file (node-type.tpl.php) I've got the following

<?php 
		print swf($node->field_upload_podcast[0]['filepath'],
			array
			(
            	'params' => array
				(
				 	//'width' => '400', //cannot set width of 1pixelout in SWFTools
				),
				'flashvars' => array
				(
				 	'titles' => $node->field_documents_title[0]['value'],
				),
				'othervars' => array
				(
             		'html_alt' => '<a href="'.$node->field_upload_podcast[0]['filepath'].'">'.$node->field_documents_title[0]['value'].'</a>',
        		),
			)
		); ?>

My hurdle was finding the right place to put the 'titles,' since I don't know a whole lot about dynamic flash integration yet. I'm not sure what other options from the bottom of http://wpaudioplayer.com/standalone work, but at least it's a start!
