Change MP3 Link into Player?

buildakicker · 11-26-2008, 09:38 PM

Hello all you JS masters.

I know it's possible, but how would one go about changing all .mp3 links into a flash player? Like:

Code:

if(link = *.mp3){
insert player where link is at
}

Thanks!

oh, and I am using an RSS feed with the MP3 link in it... Could I do something with the Enclosure Tag?

Thanks!

You post isn't very clear (to me). Give us the code you're working on, or a more clear idea of what precisely you're looking to achieve.

sorry for the bad communication.

I would like to understand if Javascript would be the best thing to use in order to scan a loaded page for .mp3 files and then convert the .mp3 file into the 1px player.

I have been using Magpie parser and have this so far:

Code:

$items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 500);
			// Cycle through each item and echo  
			$i=1;
			foreach ($items as $item ){   
				echo '<li><strong><a href="'.$item['link'].'">'.$item['title'].'</a></strong>' .$item['pubDate']. '<br />' .$item['description']. '
				<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="'.$item['link'].'" id="audioplayer'.$i.'" height="24" width="290">
<param name="movie" value="http://wwwtest.fs.fed.us/r5/lassen/podcasts/player.swf">
<param name="FlashVars" value="playerID='.$i.'&amp;soundFile='.$item['link'].'">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object> 	
				</li>';
				$i++;
			}

It doesn't like that so far though. Won't load the player for some reason. That is a PHP solution, but I was thinking about JS.

Thanks!
