don't forget the http:// or https://

for fastest streaming (though html5 will read the file and buffer it automatically), you might be better off in dropbox, which will be faster. (i put my files in the public folder > some other folder then get a shareable link via right click {mp3remote}{shareablelink/from/dropbox}{/mp3remote}

edit: if your audio is speech, make sure you haven't oversampled it making the file bigger than it needs to be. I tweak my files in audacity (free).

Well it did not work... but thanks for trying.. the code you gave me just showed up in the article in the front end.. Don't know where I went wrong. (see the attached)

hmm

Can you attach the code you added in a text file

It looks from the screenshot that there might be an issue with how you added the syntax

Cheers
Paul

don't wrap the link in brackets - and paste as text (or toggle to code view)

{zenrow}
{zen-6} {mp3remote}{www.oasiswebdevelopment.com/darci_podcasts/3_8_m_f_cut.mp3}{/mp3remote}{/zen-6} {zen-6}First Podcast{/zen-6 }
{/zenrow}

also attached

{zen-row}

Sorry, did not work again. but thanks

{zen-row}
{zen-6} {mp3remote}{www.oasiswebdevelopment.com/darci_podcasts/3_8_m_f_cut.mp3}{/mp3remote}{/zen-6}
{zen-6}First Podcast{/zen-6 }
{/zen-row}

Try removing the brackets round the url path.

Link needs http://
NO BRACKET AROUND LINK
paste as text

I have an older version of ZGF so I am seeing the second tag, but I can get the column and the link using the above code (example)

Just to double check - you have the shortcode and Allvideo plugins enabled in the plugin manger?

allVideos does not automatically turn on, so you have to go to extensions > plugins and enable it. (search on 'allvideos' to filter for it.)

Paul - I am getting the second tag on a buildr page with shortcode 1.7.0, just as I am with the demo a couple messages above.

I did have AllVideos enabled though

remove the brackets from the link

You have
it should bewithout the { }'s

OK thank you all so very much but now I get the player but it doesn’t hook up to the movie. I know the url is correct because if I paste
just the url in a browser window it works.. so it must be something in the AllVideo Settings. I have attached a screen
shot of the settings to this post.. See attached..

here is the code now:

{zen-row} {zen-6}{mp3}www.oasiswebdevelopment.com/darci_podcasts/3-8-m-f-cut.mp3{/mp3}{/zen-6} {zen-6}First Podcast{/zen-6} {/zen-row}

here is the page:

stablesatknox.org/responsive/index.php/site-media/test-audio

change
{mp3} to {mp3remote}
(/mp3} to {/mp3remote}

and add---> http:// <--to the url

Looks like you are close now!

I cannot see fully the settings from the screenshot but it is do with the code and possible the audio setup parameters.

Code is showing:
<video src="/responsive/http://www.oasiswebdevelopment.com/darci_podcasts//http://www.oasiswebdevelopment.com/darci_podcasts/3-8-m-f-cut.mp3.mp3" x-webkit-airplay="allow" webkit-playsinline=""></video>

So the path to file is incorrectly formed either from the zencode or the plugin parameter. That's were to hunt it down in my view.

Hello again (sick of me yet?)
So now I uploaded the mp3 files to
images/audio/ in the media manager
(thought it might work better if the files were local)
Still no luck. Have tried both:

{zen-row} {zen-6}{mp3remote}images/audio/3-8-m-f-cut.mp3{/mp3remote}{/zen-6} {zen-6}First Podcast{/zen-6} {/zen-row}
AND
{zen-row} {zen-6}{mp3remote}3-8-m-f-cut.mp3{/mp3remote}{/zen-6} {zen-6}First Podcast{/zen-6} {/zen-row}

because Local Audio folder is set to images/audio/ in the AllVideos plug in screen..

Tearing my hair out now! help please

in that case, you aren't using a 'remote' server any more. so change {mp3remote} to {mp3}

from AllVideos documentation

if the actual file path is
iimages/audio/3-8-m-f-cut.mp3

use (note: do not include 'image/audio/' in your code)
{mp3}3-8-m-f-cut.mp3{/mp3}
