If you have two sounds in soundmanager2 normally you can play both at the same time, on android and other mobiles calling play on one sound will stop all other sounds.
soundManager.setup({
preferFlash: false,
//, url: "swf/"
onready: function () {
soundManager.createSound({
url: [
"http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/audio/quick/test.mp3", "http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/audio/quick/test.ogg"
],
id: "music"
});
soundManager.createSound({
url: [
"http://www.w3schools.com/html/horse.mp3", "http://www.w3schools.com/html/horse.ogg"
],
id: "horse"
});
}
}).beginDelayedInit();
$("#horse").click(function () {
soundManager.play("horse"); // <- stops other sounds on mobile :(
});
$("#music").click(function() {
soundManager.play("music"); // <- stops other sounds on mobile :(
});

Is there some way i can run multiple sounds on android? If not is there some way i can detect this ability to only run one sound at once?
reasoning: I want to have constant background music in a game and play a sound when something happens ideally without stopping the background music.
I didn't find a way to run multiple sounds on android but what i did was detect if sounds had been stopped by this limitation and the restart them where they were once the sound had finished playing e.g.
var isPlaying = function (name) {
return soundManager.getSoundById(name).playState == 1;
};
// we want to play horse music over our background music
var oldPosition = soundManager.getSoundById('music').position;
soundManager.play("horse", {
onfinish: function() {
if(!isPlaying('music')) {
// mobile devices must have cut the background music off :(
// should probably check if its still appropriate to replay the background music
soundManager.play("music", {
position: oldPosition
});
}
}
});

I have a website that plays an icecast stream with jPlayer.
I want the play button to always start the stream from the live position (like a radio) instead of picking the stream back up from the last position. Attempted behavior:
play plays the stream live > pause suspends / discards the stream / optionally stops downloading it > play plays the stream from live position / reloads the stream.
There is a way to monitor the current media position with $.jPlayer.event.timeupdate as mentioned in comment on this post, and use that to resume playing from the end of the stream.
Alternatively, there must be a way to discard the stream when pausing and then reloading it when hitting play again. I think it is what is happening on this jPlayer demo. But I don't know how to do that part:
The error event is used with a check for the URL_NOT_SET error type to jPlayer("setMedia",stream) back to the live-stream again and jPlayer("play") it.
I am new to javascript and can't make it work. I can't find another post of someone trying to do that. I tried with the "playhead" at 100 which does not start the stream at all.
Here is the code I am using:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#jquery_jplayer_1").jPlayer({
ready: function () {
$(this).jPlayer("setMedia", {
mp3: "http://realbadradio.ddns.net:21000/mpd.mp3"
})
},
});
});
//]]>
</script>
Here the repo to my website for full code.
I finally found the solution thanks to this answer on a different question related to achieving autoplay in jPlayer.
SOLUTION
$(document).ready(function(){
const stream = {
// stream address
mp3: 'http://realbadradio.ddns.net:21000/mpd.mp3'
};
ready = false;
$("#jquery_jplayer_1").jPlayer({
ready: function () {
ready = true;
$(this).jPlayer("setMedia", stream);
},
pause: function() {
$(this).jPlayer("clearMedia");
},
error: function(event) {
if(ready && event.jPlayer.error.type === $.jPlayer.error.URL_NOT_SET) {
// Setup the media stream again and play it.
$(this).jPlayer("setMedia", stream).jPlayer("play");
}
},
keyEnabled: true,
preload: 'none',
});
});
I'm using plyr plugin to play a video on my website.
I'm trying to restart the player (vimeo) when the video ends but I'm not having much luck. I'm even trying to console log a message and that's not even working. Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?
JSfiddle attached here.
if ($('.main-hero__youtube__video').length) {
console.log("Video player init");
// Define the controls
var plyr_options = {
autoplay: true,
clickToPlay: true,
showPosterOnEnd: true,
controls: ['mute','progress','play']
};
// Create the plyr instances - this defines players[0] as our primary player.
var players = plyr.setup(plyr_options);
players[0].on('ended', function(event) {
console.log("test");
});
}
You were close, you just needed to call the restart() method (or play() if you're looking for an infinite loop) on your player instance:
players[0].on('ended', function(event) {
players[0].restart();
// players[0].play(); // infinite loop
});

I use Soundmanager2's mp3 player button to play mp3s links on my website. I used the following modifcation in-order to preload the next mp3 during playing the current mp3.
play: function() {
sm.load('basicMP3Sound'+(1*this._data.oLink.title)+1);
//mycode end
pl.removeClass(this._data.oLink,this._data.className);
this._data.className = pl.css.sPlaying;
pl.addClass(this._data.oLink,this._data.className);
},
In the above example you may notce that the title tag in this._data.oLink.title which I added it to the mp3 link to handle files order in simple way, for example:
/002001.mp3
However, I noticed that the next mp3 link does not preloaded during playing the current mp3. This is because the next mp3 does not being played contiousely or start played after finish playing its previous mp3. In other word, it takes some time or delay to be downloaded.
Is there something wrong in my code? or what are your suggestions?
Notice a life demo of this mp3 layer is found in this link
Edit: Approach to work with the SoundManager inline button player
In your setup params in mp3-player-button.js under config, where playNext : true|false is found (line 39), update it to look like this:
...
this.config = {
// configuration options
playNext: true, // stop after one sound, or play through list until end
autoPlay: false, // start playing the first sound right away
preloadNext : true // preload next sound when previous sound starts to play
};
...
Then, further down under the this.events object (line 96), modify the play function to preload the next sound:
...
this.events = {
// handlers for sound events as they're started/stopped/played
play: function() {
pl.removeClass(this._data.oLink,this._data.className);
this._data.className = pl.css.sPlaying;
pl.addClass(this._data.oLink,this._data.className);
if (pl.config.preloadNext) {
var nextLink = (pl.indexByURL[this._data.oLink.id]+1);
if (nextLink<pl.links.length) {
sm.load(nextLink)
}
}
},
...
In summary, when a song starts, we check to see if there's a next song; if there is, we pull its id from the array of sounds that was created when we instantiated SoundManager. In this case, SoundManager is sm, so we simply pass the id of our next song to the sm.load() function.
Here is a live demo: http://plnkr.co/edit/mpBkfDIrLNduMAWJjRfN.
Try this approach:
Using the onplay and onfinish events of the createSound method, you can chain a series files which delegate each other.
Explicitly telling firstSound: "when you start to play, preload the next sound, and when you finish playing, play that next sound"
JavaScript
var firstSound = soundManager.createSound({
id: 'firstSound',
url: 'path/to/your/firstSound.mp3'
});
var secondSound = soundManager.createSound({
id: 'secondSound',
url: 'path/to/your/secondSound.mp3'
});
// Kickoff first sound
firstSound.load();
// Define the chain of events
firstSound.play({
onplay: function () {
// When `firstSound` starts, preload `secondSound`
secondSound.load();
},
onfinish: function () {
// Repeat, with next sound
secondSound.play({...
})
}
});
Ok this thing is awesome! I got SoundManager 2 setup within my .js file and have audio playing on my page. My only question at the moment, is figuring out how to play audio outside of the soundManager.setup({...}). For example the following works great...
function mSound() {
/*SETUP SOUND MANAGER 2*/
soundManager.setup({
// where to find flash audio SWFs, as needed
url: 'audio/',
onready: function() {
console.log('SM2 is ready to play audio!');
/*MY SOUND COLLECTIONS*/
soundManager.createSound({
id: 'myIntro',
url: 'audio/Indonesia.mp3',
autoPlay: false,
volume: 15
});
soundManager.play('myIntro');
}
});
}
But if I try to place soundManager.play('myIntro'), into another function like...
function mIntro() {
soundManager.play('myIntro');
}
...the audio does not play. Any advice will be great!
Thanks
I think I solved it. By setting up local variables as parameters for my mSound() function like so...
function mSound(id,url,volume) {
this.id = id;
this.url = url;
this.volume = volume;
/*SETUP SOUND MANAGER 2*/
soundManager.setup({
url: 'audio/',
onready: function() {
//console.log('SM2 is ready to play audio!');
/*MY SOUND COLLECTIONS*/
soundManager.createSound({
id: id,
url: 'audio/'+ url,
volume: volume
});
soundManager.play(id);
}
});
}
...I'm now able to do cool stuff like this within other javascript functions and play sound!
mSound('myIntro','Indonesia.mp3',5);
And you can still still use the soundManager global object properties after you load your custom function. For example you can pause your track like this later in your code...
soundManager.togglePause('myIntro');
Hope this helps someone :)
Have you tried something like this?
var sound = soundManager.getSoundById('myIntro');
sound.play();
It's working in my project.
Im using soundcloud dot com to upload my sounds. i want to press a button within my mobile application and have that sound play.
So basically i want my sound to be referenced from the URL that I am given when the button is pressed by the user.
I need to do it with Javascript only. No HTML 5 please. Any help is greatly appreciated cause this is Xtremely frustrating. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
It's pretty simple to get started really:
function playSound(url) {
var a = new Audio(url);
a.play();
}
Use that as whatever event handler you want for your application. Of course, I'd hope you'd want to do more than just play (for example, maybe pause would be good too?), but it's a start.
let sound = new Audio("http://sound.com/mySound.mp3");
//on play event:
sound.onplay = () => {
};
//on pause event:
sound.onpause = () => {
};
//on end event:
sound.onended = () => {
};
//play:
sound.play();
//pause:
sound.pause();
//stop:
sound.pause();
sound.currentTime = 0;
Use jPlayer to play sound using Javascript. This will take you a lot of time and frustration.
jplayer.org/
Here's what your code might look like with jPlayer. Note: You're not forced to use a skin with jPlayer because all it is is just an API to play audio.
Example code to play a video or audio on load.
$(function() { // executed when $(document).ready()
$("#jpId").jPlayer( {
ready: function () {
$(this).jPlayer("setMedia", {
m4v: "http://www.myDomain.com/myVideo.m4v" // Defines the m4v url
}).jPlayer("play"); // Attempts to Auto-Play the media
},
supplied: "m4v",
swfPath: "jPlayer/js"
});
});
