And again a MP3 topic (unusual problem)

[trez]

Hello,

so, i'am not having trouble when i upload an mp3, it works fine. The problem is, i use other webspace for my MP3's to save traffic. But when i upload a MP3 with a remote link it gives me "choose a picture" . So next thing i tried is to put the link into the image box (next to "browse") , but that dont work of course.

Ive read the FAQ about this, and searched the forum, but i didnt found an answer for remote mp3 files

please advise

and what about other file types? have you tryed "upload" remote images?

[trez]

yes, i tried, remote image files work, thats the reason why i'am a little bit confused about that

[V@no]

thats the reason why i'am a little bit confused about that

Dont feel alone, I'm with you on that one - I'm confused too
Please post a link to the file (you can alter the domain name if you wish )

[trez]

It doesnt matter where the file is, its always the same. Maybe its becaus the file is using spaces? And when i paste it into the field, the spaces are converted to "%20" - maybe thats making the error?

Doubtfull

Probably.
That's why I asked you to show the url. For example the url must end with .mp3 extension, there are some othe factors can cause this...

[trez]

Oh, i didnt know there is someone here so late

So here are the links i've tried:

http://***.234.236.193/lenorr/Hey%20DJ/Basement%20jaxx%20-%20Oh%20my%20gosh.mp3
http://***.234.236.193/lenorr/Hey%20DJ/Bob%20Sinclar%20-%20You%20Could%20Be%20My%20Lover.mp3
http://***.234.236.193/lenorr/Hey%20DJ/Tiesto%20-%20Heroes.mp3

(i past them this way, to show you how they look like in the field for the remote file)

I've tried more links, but i think thats enough. So, did i understand you that you think that the spaces are the problem ?

[IcEcReaM]

I think the problem is more,
that you are give no url, but ips.

I had once the same behavior on localtestmachine.

[trez]

Yes, you were right about the IP. I tried a link without IP and it works, BUT: When i click on download, nothing happens

See, I've told you knowing the url could help trace the problem

In includes/functions.php find:

Code: [Select]

 if (!preg_match("/^https?\\:\\/\\/[a-z0-9\-]+\.([a-z0-9\-]+\.)?[a-z]+/i", $url)) {
Replace with:

Code: [Select]

 if (!preg_match("/^(http|https|ftp):\/\/(([A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9_-]*)(:[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9_-]*)?@)?(([A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9_-]*)(\.[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9_-]*)+)(:(\d+))?(\/)?/i", $url)){

[trez]

great , it works !
Just two last questions:

- If i click on the thumbnail, the song plays automaticly - how can i stop that?
- the mp3-thumb is shown in the new-images, toplist etc. How can i exclude mp3-files to be shown anywhere on the site, except in this category?

[trez]

ups, a problem: When i click on "download" most files will not start downloading, IE shows "page not found", FF shows no error.

Strange thing is that on that file:

Code: [Select]

http://free.****.bg/wintersoul/On%20an%20Island.mp3
the dialogbox "save as..." appear

but on this one is the error:

Code: [Select]

http://katinoto.kafence.com/MP3/HOUSE/freakallweek/vinyls/Grace-Not_Over_Yet__Jakob_Carrison_Rmx-Onesided_Promo_Vinyl-2006-MTC/01_grace-not_over_yet__jakob_carrison_rmx.mp3

is it because of the long URL?

Please advise,

thanks

ok, i found the error: ive just changet

Code: [Select]

$remote_url = 0;  to

Code: [Select]

$remote_url = 1; in my download.php

So, how do i exclude the music folder, so that the files in there are not shown ANYWHERE except in this category?
I just found a way to exclude it from "random_image" , but nothing else.

Another important question for me is, when i add about 1000 remote MP3-files, will that slow down my whole gallery? I recognice that the folder, witch contains mp3's is being opened very slow - the normal folders are opened fast. Can that really be? If yes, dont answer to my first question, then i'd rather dont use remote mp3s

Thaks for your help,

Georgi

Any remote media WILL slow down significaly 4images, its not optimized for that...

[trez]

Thanks, sounds like we need a new MOD, i put a request in the right forum - thanks for the help.
