adriengibrat / jquery-soundmanager Goto Github PK

I wanted to use this script for generating sounds on click events and other things and did not want to have to build a UL playlist I wanted to use createSound which is part of Sound Manager 2 but its not included in this jquery wrapper. So I wanted to request that be put in.

How to reproduce:

• Go to https://github.com/adriengibrat/jQuery-SoundManager/wiki with Safari 5.0.6 on Mac OSX 10.5
• Cmd + Click on demo 10 times in a row.
• Wait for the tabs to load before switching to one of them.

Expected result : the demo should load successfully
Actual result : the demo doesn't load

More info : when you switch on the tab here is the log :
-- SoundManager 2 failed to load (security/load error) --
soundManager.disable(): Shutting down
soundManager: Failed to initialise.
soundManager: No Flash response within expected time.
Likely causes: Flash blocked or JS-Flash security error.
soundManager: Getting impatient, still waiting for Flash...
soundManager::initMovie(): Waiting for ExternalInterface call from Flash..
soundManager::createMovie(): Trying to load /swf/soundmanager2_flash9_debug.swf
-- SoundManager 2 V2.97a.20110801 (AS3/Flash 9) + HTML5 audio, MovieStar mode, normal polling --
-- SoundManager 2: HTML5 support tests (/^(probably|maybe)$/i): mp3: true (preferring flash), mp4: true (preferring flash), ogg: false (and no flash support), wav: true --

The log then quickly changes into :
soundManager::init(): Already called?
soundManager::init()
soundManager::externalInterfaceOK() (~2 ms)
-- SoundManager 2 failed to load (security/load error) --
soundManager.disable(): Shutting down
soundManager: Failed to initialise.
soundManager: No Flash response within expected time.
Likely causes: Flash blocked or JS-Flash security error.
soundManager: Getting impatient, still waiting for Flash...
soundManager::initMovie(): Waiting for ExternalInterface call from Flash..
soundManager::createMovie(): Trying to load /swf/soundmanager2_flash9_debug.swf
-- SoundManager 2 V2.97a.20110801 (AS3/Flash 9) + HTML5 audio, MovieStar mode, normal polling --
-- SoundManager 2: HTML5 support tests (/^(probably|maybe)$/i): mp3: true (preferring flash), mp4: true (preferring flash), ogg: false (and no flash support), wav: true --

From the README:

You can use all SM2 default options, plus the followings

However, if I try to pass anything other than the $.playable-specific options, they don't take. For example, this doesn't work; it loads Flash 8 and uses the console for debugging:

$.playable('/path/to/swf/');
$('ul.playlist').playable({
    flashVersion: 9,
    useConsole: false
});

and the same goes for this:

$.playable('/path/to/swf/', {
    flashVersion: 9,
    useConsole: false
});
$('ul.playlist').playable();

but this works correctly:

soundManager.flashVersion = 9;
soundManager.useConsole = false;
$.playable('/path/to/swf/');
$('ul.playlist').playable();

Tested against SoundManager 2 V2.95b.20100101.

Hi Adrien,

Great work on this plugin by the way... It's exactly what i've been looking for.

However I do have a problem. Your demo ui script that has a built in progress bar and time counters doesn't seem to work in firefox 8 using jQuery 1.7.1. I haven't tested earlier versions of firefox or jquery. All is fine in all other major browsers.

It appears that the whileloading callbacks are not functioning as expected and possibly causing a silent javascript error.

Any ideas on how I could go about fixing this?

In your example under how to modify Sound Objects, README line 27 should be changed from

 $('.playlist').playable('setSound', 50); // reduce sound to 50% for the whole playlist

to

 $('.playlist').playable('setVolume', 50); // reduce sound to 50% for the whole playlist

A screenshot would help people get an idea what your stock CSS looks like.
