hey, took me 4ever also but i got it. its says it at the top.
To accomplish this, pass in any of the parameters below on the end of the javascript src.
Cool. Are there any other secret parameters other than the "api" one?
Johny
· 1 year ago
there are many more, just digg more into them
Dan Kantor
· 1 year ago
Not yet. I'll add them here when there are. The next one I am thinking about is to change the text that says "Click to play all audio posts" since I noticed a few ppl changed that themselves.
Joe Lazarus

Great. That's the first one that I thought of too. It would also be cool to be able to specify a background color or image with a parameter. I figured out how to do that, but it was kind of tricky since I don't know CSS.
I really like the player. Thanks again for creating it and sharing the code with all of us.

Is there a way to add more than one parameter? i.e. I've got two tumblrs, and I want streampad to pull from both of them.
Dan Kantor

At this point the widget cannot do that. It's a cool suggestion. I'll look into it. Thanks.

You can now do this. clicktext=put%20whatever%20you%20want

but where does this go? i'm trying to put it where i have the rest of my Streampad CSS stuff but it doesn't seem to be responding.
Dan Kantor
· 1 year ago
These all go on the end of the javascript url. Go back into Themes and find where you added the javascript. Then just add any params to the end like - streampad-tumblr.js?trackcolor=ffffff&bgcolor=000000

i've tried and tried. sorry i'm not css savvy. i did this:
Is there any way we can modify the player so that it's more discreet? I LOVE it with all my heart, but a solid gray line at the end of my page kinda throws it all off. Can we make it semi-transparent ala Mac-OS X style perhaps?
Dan Kantor
· 1 year ago
Yes, you can modify the CSS any way you like. Have a look at http://tuneage.tumblr.com/. You can do something like:
wait, never mind! a little common sense helped me figure it out! :)

where?
Ben (of BenandJacq)

I second that, where does it go?
Dan Kantor

You can put it in the head of the html. If you already have some css there, just put it underneath it. If not, put <style type="text/css"> put it here... </style>

you could put the parameters in html. Inside a script tag, put streampadPlayer.params.PARAM = OPTION;

Great player. Do you have any plans to make this useable on non-tumblr blogs? I'm using your Streampad widget on my Wordpress blog but this code is much cooler and easier to use. I'd love to try it on Wordpress too.
Thanks.
Dan Kantor

Absolutely! Wordpress support coming soon. Would you like to beta test when it's ready?

Dan, is there a way with the streampad widget to include multiple URLS in the "list"? I have a URL with multiple pages and would like to include each page's mp3 links in the player.
Dan Kantor
· 11 months ago
At this point there is not. But for the new widget (bottombar), it will find any music you link to on any page within your blog.
I'll contact you soon about the wp plugin. Prob next week. Thanks!

How do I alter the font for the text once you've clicked "play all audio posts". Using the CSS code you provided I managed to change the font for the "play all audio posts" section but when I click play the song info is in helvetica which I don't want.
Dan Kantor

try this in css:
a#streampadAudioCaption { font-family: courier new !important; }

Dan - if i upload a bunch of tunes to my site (non tumblr), can i still use the api hack to point to my site and get the player to work (ie, i want to uploads a couple hundred tunes w/o using tumblr upload, and point to the directory on my site where I put the tunes) thx! love it so far!
Dan Kantor
· 11 months ago
At this point, there is no way to do that. The api hack is to point from a non tumblr page to tumblr.
I see that you are on Wordpress. We do have a Wordpress plugin coming soon that can probably do what you want.

Hey Dan, don't forget to drop me a line when your ready to beta test the wordpress plugin.

Hi Dan, unbelievable player this, it's outstanding behaviour so 10 points to you! The only thing i wanted to know is I've got a song (Which my band has written) called Life's A Movie on our playlist, but unfortunately there's another artists image in place of the blank image? Is there anyway I can a) delete this image, and b) maybe put our CD image on there (although the CD isn't yet available on itunes etc...) , again, fantastic work!

other then getting the url for the song what is the code? and do i just put the new song code under the media player code?
Dana

Dan, Thanks this is fabulous!
When I open the playlist or pop-out, the song titles show for an instant, then I get what looks like a line of random characters or code instead of the title followed by the plead. When I mouse over the line on the playlist, I get the correct title in the floating box, but can't seem to figure out how to get the titles to show in the playlist.
Perhaps I've not properly labeled my audiofiles on upload? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What happens if you delete a post? How can i get Streampad to remove the track from it's listing?
Hi, great little gadget here (although I need to actually upload some music) is there a way to make it smaller? I've got a rather large banner so the top of the main content is partly covered by the player at the bottom. (inthegutter.tumblr.com) I'd mess myself but I'm not sure what to do to add css/extra parameters to it. Thanks.

lboong: what did you use for code to make the buttons negative?
jaymediane
· 9 months ago
What a great tool Dan! It was easy to integrate, works flawlessly (except os x doesn't seem to like the autoplay function and relaunches safari periodically), and the parameters were easy additions.
A question for you or anyone who can provide a solution: I am using a opacity of .25 on a #fff background with #000 text, which works great but the controls and buttons are only viewable when hovering. I really like the look of them with the hover - is there anyway to make this effect the status quo? I didn't see this as one of the parameter options.
how can i remove the play count? ive tried &showplaycount=false and have tried changing the color of the text and nothings worked.
Dan Kantor

sorry that is currently not an option. I will look into adding it though...
Rich

do you think there's a way to have a link in the post -- when you click on it, it plays in your player instead? i dont like having the tumblr player AND your player NOT linked at the same time to have several songs being able to play at once..
.. not to gank another site, but almost to mimic the player on hypem.com where if you hit play within the individual post, it plays in your player at the bottom?
Dan Kantor
· 9 months ago
Its a good idea Rich. I am not 100% sure if we can pull it off but I will definitely look into it.
auralescape

do you think its possible to get the streampad to feed into individual analytics feeds so we can get info on each song people played?
Dan Kantor

Right now Streampad collects data if the listener logs in. We are working on charts for each site - top songs and artists.
Also working on documenting javascript events so you could collect this yourself.
Stay tuned!

Hey, very cool streampad. Is there anyway that you know of to post mp3's onto tumblr so that people can download them, like you can do on blogs or anywhere else on the web. Thanks
david
· 6 months ago
You can do that by editing your theme's code (specifically the part for audio posts) to include a download link for all externally-hosted mp3's. There are documents about it here.
From your dashboard, click "Customize"/Theme/Use Custom HTML".
Then, look for the part of the code that says: <div class="audio"> and then has your audio player, which looks something like this: {AudioPlayerblack}.
Note that It might not say "black" - it might say "AudioPlayerWhite" or "AudioPlayerGray" - and that's not important. What's important is that you add the following code right AFTER the "{AudioPlayerINSERT COLOR HERE}. The code to be inserted is:
{block:ExternalAudio}, Get this song{/block:ExternalAudio}
That should do it. If you click "update preview", save your changes, and visit your site, you should see the words "download" right after your audio post. To get the song via the link, right click and "save as."
You can change what how the link appears on your page (on my page it says "download"), by changing the term inside the "a" tag above.
Also, there's a helpful Firefox add-on that makes every audio post you view in the Firefox browser downloadable. You can check that out <http://bjornstar.com/post/41662530/tumtaster-so...>. Since I use firefox, it makes sharing songs very very easy.
Hope that helps you out.

Hi, on my tumblr page, I have only my music playing: The Problem is - song names shown down in the strip are ok but the song names in the song list or in the popup or in the full screen option are some weird names. Now I managed to shut down the song list and popup but I can´t shut down the full screen option. and my next question is, it is actually impossible to search the page and listen to the music at the same time. every time you go to the next page music stops.

Dan - I tried to redo my StreamPad player on my tumblog, and now its acting up a bit.
I'm having a lot of trouble changing the color on the "poweredbycolor" field. It won't change from standard white (#ffffff), no matter what I enter in the "&poweredbycolor=XXXXXX" field. I've changed the track text and other colors, but I haven't been able to change the color of this 1 field...
Has anyone else been reporting problems changing this field? Any ideas on what the problem could possibly be?

To accomplish this, pass in any of the parameters below on the end of the javascript src.
ex. src=”http://static.streampad.com/streampad-tumblr.js?api=blog.dankantor.com&trackcolor=ffffff&bgcolor=000000”
ADD A ? AFTER JS THEN THE CODE AUTOPLAY=TRUE. IT SHOULD BE BETWEEN THE ? AND ". LIKE THIS
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.streampad.com/streampad-tumblr.js?autoplay=true"></script>
AND THAT GOES 4 ALL THE CODES
