#HTML5 AUDIO PLAYER WITH PLAYLIST MANUAL#
Joomla is incredible and used by millions of websites, but can't play standard music files due to lack of extensions (without manual tech work-arounds)? I guess though, although there are a couple of potential experimental work-arounds, a HTML5 audio player for Joomla that you would upload/install as a customisable Joomla module as per a normal extension doesn't exist? My mind is still blown at how this is the case. If it is the only option then yes I'll have to go with that, as it is better than visitors not being able to hear the artist at all on thier non-flash devices. I will definitely check out the MediaElement player, however separate play bars for every track is not really going to work space-wise and aesthetically. I would then use CSS and a bit of Photoshop to change each element's background to make it look the way I want - standard CSS. A pop-out stand-alone player option would be ideal too. To answer the first question you asked re purpose/function of the playlist, just think of what you would need for a recording artist's website, similar to the player that MySpace has - a list of MP3s, you click on them, they play in one player. Hi Kenmcd - thanks your your detailed replies, they are very helpful and much appreciated. How would you like it to look? Provide examples if possible. images).Īnd the various controls can also be enabled/disabled from appearing on the controls bar. The MediaElement.js player appearance can be changed using just CSS "skins" (incl. Please test your devices and other players and see if that works for you. Test the MediaElement.js player MP3 audio player example here:

JPlayer.js looks like a much more difficult player to use in a modified MP3 Browser plug-in.īoth JPlayer.js and MediaElement.js use jQuery, so JavaScript conflicts are possible (but may be handled). The MediaElement.js player is the same HTML5 player used in the WidgetKit mentioned above. I started studying/modifying this plug-in yesterday and it appears that the MediaElement.js player could be used. The MP3 Browser plug-in creates a table of the MP3s found in a specified directory.Īnd displays in a table format some information and a Flash-based player for each track. See MP3 Browser example here (at bottom of page): It appears that the MP3 Browser plug-in can be updated/enhanced to use an HTML5 player. Or simply a list of MP3s with HTML5 players? Are you looking for an HTML5 player for an actual playlist (as in a playlist file)?
