Has anyone had success installing a Swish Jukebox2 player in Web Designer 6 and getting it to play music on the Magix server. If so, what is the secret? Using the Web Properties thingie in Web Designer 6, I have tried importing jukebox.html, importing jukebox.swf, creating a rectangle as a placeholder for jukebox.swf and pasting jukebox.html in the text entry box.
I have succeeded in getting the Jukebox 2 player to work within Web Designer 6 on my computer. I have even managed to write the entire Web Designer 6 web page to a CD, view the web page and have it play a playlist on 3 different machines, one of which is a netbook. I created autorun.bat and autorun.inf files to make the CD based site self-loading.
The Jukebox2 player will not work within Web Designer 6 when the site is viewed on-line. Instead of title and artist I get a text line which reads "buffering nan%". I know the site will play swf music files from within Web Designer 6 because I have created objects on the web page and linked to the individual swf music files on the server. The music loads quickly and plays without any skips. I want an attractive, dedicated player with a configurable playlist however.
My site also contains videos processed with Swish Video3. There's no problem playing the videos, some of which are 7megs in size so I know that the music is not playing because Magix is offering insufficient bandwidth. The videos also load rapidly. There's no buffering to speak of once they do load.
Is there something about the way Web Designer 6 handles players with built-in playlists that I don't know about? The Jukebox2 program will also generate an external xml playlist file but this is not supposed to be necessary for getting the player to work on-line. From what I can tell, there's nothing special about the swf music files that Jukebox2 generates. I do not however know about the inner workings of player.swf. I've incorporated other swf features in the site that I've created with SwishMax and they work properly.
Here's the html source code that Jukebox2 generates. It looks like it should work:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
