[SOLVED] Loop and Randomize playlist help

Waifthe3rd · November 16, 2007

Hi all here's what im stuck on. i got the WMP embedded, and have it playing a random song at the get go. but once the song is done it keeps looping the same song in IE, but stops in FF. was wonding if there was a way to fix this, and add the loop funtion in my php so it plays all my songs, randomly and loops them.

************PHP***********

<?php

$url[0] = "http://www.example.com/music/example1.mp3";

$url[1] = "http://www.example.com/music/example2.mp3";

$url[2] = "http://www.example.com/music/example3.mp3";

$url[3] = "http://www.example.com/music/example4.mp3";

srand ((double)microtime()*1000000);

$randomnum = rand(0, count($url)-1);

header ("Location: $url[$randomnum]");

?>

what ever loop, randomization you made it will still play the same song because once the song is finish there is no script that tell your page to load the next song

if you can determine the playing time of each song that would be better or set the time in your header file or meta tags so after a given time the page will reload and run the script you made which is randomizing ect....

Im sorry im a bit new to everything i got the php script from a friend, and the WMP for a website source. not sure what to do from here, um i can find out how long each song is but where i put that at?

The total of 1 song is 6:59

try to integrate this code

$songs = array('song1','song2','song3','song4','song5');

$title= $songs[array_rand($songs,1)];

header('Refresh: 359; url=http://www.example.com/music/'.$songs.'.mp3');

Waifthe3rd · November 16, 2007

<?php

$url[0] = "http://www.digitalcyberpunk.com/music/Jumping.mp3";

$url[1] = "http://www.digitalcyberpunk.com/music/Fortunato2.mp3";

$url[2] = "http://www.digitalcyberpunk.com/music/ArtofNoise.mp3";

$url[3] = "http://www.digitalcyberpunk.com/music/OceanTrance.mp3";

$songs = array('Jumping.mp3','Fortunato2.mp3','ArtofNoise.mp3','OceanTrance.mp3');

$title= $songs[array_rand($songs,1)];

srand ((double)microtime()*1000000);

$randomnum = rand(0, count($url)-1);

header('Refresh: 359; url=http://www.digitalcyberpunk.com/music/'.$songs.'.mp3');

?>

This is what i got, and nothing cant even play, I took out all the $url[ ] and nothing still cant even play

$songs = array('Jumping.mp3','Fortunato2.mp3','ArtofNoise.mp3','OceanTrance.mp3');//add here the title of the song

Waifthe3rd · November 16, 2007

hmm in FF it wont work, in IE it plays Jumping.mp3 over and over again?

<?php

$songs = array('Jumping.mp3','Fortunato2.mp3','ArtofNoise.mp3','OceanTrance.mp3');//add here the title of the song

$title= $songs[array_rand($songs,1)];

header('Refresh: 10; url=http://www.digitalcyberpunk.com/music/random.php');

it works fine on me i run it in FF

in IE it plays Jumping.mp3 over and over again? that should happen because i put after 10 seconds it will play another song but you cant be sure that it will play another song we use random so theres a possibility of playing the same song

<?php
$songs = array('Jumping.mp3','Fortunato2.mp3','ArtofNoise.mp3','OceanTrance.mp3');//add here the title of the song
$title= $songs[array_rand($songs,1)];
header('Refresh:389; url=http://www.digitalcyberpunk.com/music/random.php');//play within 389 sec
?>

you can do some stuff to avoid the song from repeating but i guess its not right to do all the that hehe try to do it then if theres a prob let us know

Waifthe3rd · November 16, 2007

dude man idk what u voodoo magic you got lol cause its still playing jumping.mp3 over and over in IE, and it wont let me press the play button in FF.

Maybe the world just hates me today

P.S. ive tried it with a 3 second refresh and still nothing bro. same thing as before

oh oh does it matter that that the mp3s and the php file are in the music folder and the music player is on the index.html file being the root directory?

teng84 · November 16, 2007

like i said you cant be sure what your script will play because it random order..

it is possible that your script will play 10 consecutive jumping.mp3 it randomize so we dont know whats next..

but you can add some script to avoid this using session and some if condition ,,,

Waifthe3rd · November 16, 2007

no dude if i replace <PARAM name="FileName" value="http://www.digitalcyberpunk.com/music/Jumping.mp3>

and put Fortunato2.mp3 its plays that continuously. if i put random.php it dont work.

Waifthe3rd · November 16, 2007

yeah dude idk why its working on urs

go to www.digitalcyberpunk.com and see if it works cause all its doing on mine is click click click every 3 seconds

teng84 · November 16, 2007

i think you save your file as .html thats why the phpscript is not running

Waifthe3rd · November 16, 2007

so what u want me to save my index as?

teng84 · November 16, 2007

since you have php script there save it as index.php

thats is why when you view the source the page is the title of the song is not right

note: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3" /> 3 is the seconds before it reloads
