Flash mp3 players don't work?

Flash mp3 players don't work?

Now, for some reason, when I attempt to use a flash mp3 player to stream mp3s from Dreamhost, it doesn't work. I can download the file in Firefox and it will start playing in Quicktime, I can stream it using Winamp, but I CANNOT stream them with flash players, no matter what. I tried the JW MP3 Player (@ http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=jw_mp3_player) with no success. I even thought it might have just been my MP3s, so I uploaded the example mp3s to my server and put in the URL... nothing. When I paste it in Firefox, it works fine.

Help? :(

They work fine on DreamHost; what you are experiencing is most likely the result of how you are embedding them in your webpage.. I have two suggestions:

1) Check out http://media.dreamhost.com - DreamHost actually uses Jeroen Wijering's player wink

2) Post a link to your site where you embedding the mp3's, so other can see your code and offer suggestions.

That is as I suspected... but like I said in my previous post, all I have done was edit the playlist.xml file that comes with the package on his website to be the URL to one of my MP3s. It works fine in everything but flash.

Everything used to work fine. I can't even link to mp3s on other sites now, maybe it's a local problem...

And as for the code, I'm using the example file that comes with the player.Edited by jjk7288 on 07/06/07 10:15 AM (server time).
