When changing mp3 file, player no longer displays title

This isn't a huge issue, but I don't think it looks as professional.

When the mp3 file for a particular sermon is changed (add a new URL after the sermon has already been created), the audio player displays "Track #1" instead of the title like it normally does.

I am working on archiving older sermons, and noticed this behavior on those that have been changed. See here for an example:

http://www.dodgevilleumc.org/s…..rmon_id=80

Play the audio, and you'll see that it says "Track #1" in the title space. Then, try a current one, where the file resides locally, and you'll see that it shows the title.

Other than this, it seems to work fine, and I'm able to both download and play the files.

Does anyone know why it behaves like this, and if it's correctable? I assume it's probably more a problem with audio player than sermon browser, but thought I'd start here first.

Thanks,
Matt

Did I read somewhere on here that you need a crossdomain.xml file on the remote server in order for sermons stored on that server to be read correctly? The search function is not working here so I don't know where I saw that, and since I am not a programmer, I don't know if my question makes any sense…

Yes, if you want to use a subdomain and C entry in DNS pointing to the other location. I do have it configured this way, and have the crossdomain.xml. Without that, it wouldn't even let the files play. Now they play and download, but the titles are not showing up in player, so it's weird.

Matt, if you have not yet checked in the forum for the audio player, you may find your answer there, or at least find someone who knows the answer: http://wordpress.org/tags/audi…..orum_id=10

Matt – I found this in the FAQs for the audio player – follow the link and look for, "How do I get the track information to show in the player?". http://wpaudioplayer.com/frequ…..questions/

I tried to paste the code but it would not behave here.

Awesome! That must be my problem. Ill see if I can figure out adding title and author in the template shortcode. It would stink having to enter that in over 100 sermons. Thanks for hunting that down for me.

Hmm… Looked around the site, but perhaps I'm missing it somewhere…

In the SermonBrowser options, the current MP3 shortcode is

[ audio:%SERMONURL% ]

Are there additional % codes I can use for title & author? If not, looks like I'll have to live with the title not showing.

Here is what I need to do with it:

[ audio:%SERMONURL%|titles=The title|artists=The preacher ]

Thanks,
Matt

Wondering if anyone can assist with title & preacher % codes to put into the audioplayer shortcode… Or another way to make this work?

I'd love a shortcode for the title too.. It's the one thing thats stopping me from releasing a project with Sermon Browser! I'd greatly appreciate if you can share anything you come up with. Thanks!

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to add title & author % codes in there somehow.

Is Mark around anymore? Haven't seen him for awhile.

It looks like he speced it out (here: http://www.assembla.com/spaces…..embed-code) with "Also support %SERMONTITLE%, %SERMONPREACHER%", but I tried it & it didn't work, even though I think this page says it was released with 0.45.

Can you guys decipher anything on this page that might say it's in the code, but we're not using it right?
