Please make & design a new Media Player plugin?

I have noticed that many of the ProBoards Support Staff here are genius at making and designing plugins.

In installing a plugin for a media player designed by very talented Army83, I found it to be a great media player for music, or other audio, however it only holds 8 links max for MP3 audio files. It would be great if it could hold 50 to 100 MP3 links, and it would also be nice to redesign the media player buttons to show the names of the audios and have a feature to show "what's playing" below the Media Player.

Thanks & much grattitude in advance for your valuable help!

Maybe put together a mock image of how you want it to look on your forum.  Or are you just after the logic and you will be handling the presentation of it?

- Where should the player go?
- How should the list of tracks be presented?
- How should the plugin handle a big list of tracks? (i.e overflow, should it scroll?)
- Where should the current track playing be displayed?

Hello Peter!

I really like that it can be displayed at the top ... I am absolutely uneducated when it comes to programming, and so as a result, I am completely dependent and at the mercy of those of you that are super talented in this field of expertise.

- Where should the player go?

I like it at the top, as is the case with Army83's excellent version.

- How should the list of tracks be presented?

It would be great if a one or two word title of a song or audio file could be shown on the buttons, for example, Track 1 could allow for two words to make the audio track identifyable to be easily recognized, with a hover (mouse over) showing a pop-up of the description.

- How should the plugin handle a big list of tracks? (i.e overflow, should it scroll?)

Another plugin that I use is for the marquee .... it allows for multiple messages and/or links and as soon as a field is completed, another empty field is automatically openned for a new message to be inserted. I'm thinking that a similar option could be used to host the links to audio files, or simply expand the field to allow for more links. .... To the left and to the right of the "Track Buttons"; it would be excellent to have scroll buttons that will allow for the next five tracks to be seen by clicking on the right scroll button. Then, to go back, to view the previous tracks, simply click the left scroll button. Each showing the previous or next list of audio files' buttons with titles.

- Where should the current track playing be displayed?

I'm thinking just below the Media Player, or maybe on the Media Player just below the audio title buttons, whichever is easiest to design. I'm a beggar trying not to be too choosy.

One more thing .... Audio files can currently only be listened to by staying on the home page. It would be great when a track is playing, that it would continue playing as members venture through the Forum, either reading, or drafting threads or posts. Is that something that is possible to make? Currently, two windows have to be open on the Forum .... one for the home page, so as to be able to listen to audio files, while the other is for reading/writing threads or posts.

Thanks so much for your consideration in possibly aiding with the Media Player.
