This thread seems to have been dropped, but I’m having the same problem as Mark and hope there might be a solution… when I press pause on a track, ex: http://foundscapes.com/archive/2_satanmonica/satanmonica.html (also one side of a mix, approx. 45 mins. total), it goes back to the beginning.

I appreciate any/all help!

Cheers,
N.

Hi there

I have implemented the track seek/resume code within my website, but it doesn’t appear to be working. The trackbar comes up but the slider will not let me seek through the track. My “songs” are actually mixes so they are over 1 hour long. It takes around 3-4mins for the track length to appear, prior to that i assume seeking is not possible. Once this does appear though, it still will not let me move the track marker on the bar.

Also, when i press pause, the track restarts from the beginning upon pressing play again, so the “resume” code is not working either.

Any ideas/help?

Cheers

Mark

@Victor I’m not 100% sure, maybe give it a try and let us know? It should work if all the script is being hosted and linked to locally. But if you are using the YAHOO http links then you’d at least need to be hooked up to the internet.

@Ashley, I just tried it on my iPhone. It displays, but doesn’t seem to play for me.

Does the Yahoo Media Player work on the iphone/ipad? I don’t have either to test…. if not, is there something similar to YMP that works on those?

thanks

@Glenn, I see what you mean. It wouldn’t be possible to do that with CSS, you’d probably need some Javascript that took the “Title” from the parameter and output it within the player. So yeah, it’d require a bit more hacking.

Chris,

My site isn’t live yet, so I can’t really show you. I just did the default set-up of the player, linked to an mp3 file on my server, and the server’s URL showed up underneath the song title. If you check out this guy’s blog, you’ll see the same thing though:

I did find a solution, by the way. Using Safari’s CSS inspector, I determined that the parameter that sets this is #ymp-meta-album-title, so adding the following before the tag did the trick:

#ymp-meta-album-title {
display:none !important;
}

This just removes the text altogether, which is fine, but it would be useful if there’s a way to change the text to something else instead. I couldn’t figure it out with my very limited CSS chops though. Any suggestions?

@Glenn, really? I don’t think mine does that. Do you have a link to an example where I can see?
