Fotis wrote: Maybe I missed your request on (1). It's my understanding you want users to listen to some MP3 file when browsing Kunena. If you meant you want to allow users to upload MP3 audio and have it playback on their posts, this may not be possible depending on Kunena permissions. Kunena allows attachments for sure but I doubt it allows for uploading MP3s to be directly embedded using AllVideos. In any case, ask in the Kunena forum to be sure.

Hello Fotis,

thanks for your reply!

Indeed I meant that users should be able to upload MP3 audio and have it playback on their posts.
Meanwhile I managed to play a LOCAL hosted MP3 audio file with AV in Kunena posts.

I had to add the extension mp3 to the list of allowed ones and to change the known settings in the kunena system plugin (message & body). Since Kunena uploads the files to media/kunena/attachments I entered that path for the LOCAL AUDIO FOLDER in AV. Afterwards the MP3 uploaded was played with AV!

But what I did NOT manage:

To makeplaying the same audio file hosted on my server.

I thought with thetag one can make AV playing a direct URL leading to a MP3 file.
But the remote-mp3-tag leading to the same audio file on my server which can be played "locally" with the mp3-tag does not work.

Do you have any idea why it doesn´t?

As for the 2nd request, browser's (and the players included with AllVideos) are smart enough to not load the entire file. It is loaded in chunks as playback progresses. Try it. You'll see that skipping is also possible without the video being loaded entirely.

Thanks for the explaination!

By the way: I think that following text under
www.joomlaworks.net/support/docs/allvideos
is not correct:

In plain English this means that if your video exists in images/stories/videos/summer/trip_to_paris.flv and your "Local Video Folder" parameter is set to images/stories, you would simply enter {flv}summer/trip_to_paris{/flv}.

Hi,

unfortunately you missed that the MP3REMOTE-TAG does not work on my site (Joomla 3.8.13 stable)!

I i. e. enter
and get a broken link
instead of an AllVideo-Player window (look screenshot attached please).

Do you have an idea WHY the remote tag does not work?

Thanks and regards

P.S.:
Changing the order of Allvideo-Plugin (first/last) does not have any influence on the problem mentioned above!

No, I cannot "simply switch the root folder to point to Kunena" in order to solve my problem that I cannot play any EXTERNAL MP3-files from full URLs by using the-TAG.

Switching the root folder to point to Kunena - what I alread have done - only make sure that one can upload MP3-Files in kunena posts and play those locally stored files in kunena posts by help of the {mp3}-TAG.

So the question is why {mp3remote} does not work correctly in kunena?

Hi,

I found a solution for me by disabling AUTO-LINK-URLS in KUNENA-CONFIGURATION-BBCODE-Settings!
Now {mp3remote} works.
