Problem is, jPlayer in the first example works fine on every browser, but after the rewrite... it's ok in Chrome, IE9 and iOS, bt nothing in FF, Safari or IE7/8 - a pretty big chunk of the audience.

It could be to do with relative path names... as far as the browser is concerned show.php?artist=rhcp is in the / directory, artist/rhcp is two levels down.

Make sure all pathnames are absolute in any code.

Hi Sean,

 

Thanks. I thought the same at first. All paths in my code are absolute -two .js files and the media:

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://lmmuk.com/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://lmmuk.com/js/jquery.jplayer.min.js"></script>
<li><a href="http://www.lmmuk.com/upload/files/The_ATeam_Billie_Jean.mp3" class="track track-default">

 

is there anything inside the jPlayer code that relies on absolute/relative paths?

 

Thanks! -Jc.

Still haven't solved the original issue, but I've got a workaround -using an iframe to display the player, served from the main / directory.

I hope this helps someone. I'll leave these demo links live as long as I can.

 

Cheers! -Jc.

swfPath: "js" 

That's relative, surely?

Sean, you're a superstar!I didn't even see that in the code. Amazing how blind you can be to the bleedin' obvious.

 

Three days of my life for one forward slash. (It's usually a semicolon.)

 

Thanks a million!

I use this line to redirect my urls.

# tracks
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/tracks/([^/]+).mp3 /wp-content/tracks.php?blogname=$1&mp3=$2 [L]

This will send the variables blogname and mp3 within the url to a file named /wp-content/tracks.php

sample url will look like this

http://mydomain.com/wp-content/tracks.php?blogname=name&mp3=song

I then use the tracks.php to locate the mp3 and find if it exists and if so I read the file with readfile($mp3).

If you need more info let me know.

Subject: [jPlayer] jPlayer not working with .htaccess RewriteRule in some browsers

Hi,

 

I'm having trouble with jPlayer and .htaccess URL rewriting. I need to hide the full url for SEO and neatness, so instead of

mydomain.com/show.php?artist=rhcp

 

I rewrite it to

mydomain.com/artist/rhcp

Problem is, jPlayer in the first example works fine on every browser, but after the rewrite... it's ok in Chrome, IE9 and iOS, bt nothing in FF, Safari or IE7/8 - a pretty big chunk of the audience.

 

Here's a simplified example, based on the text based demo (http://jplayer.org/latest/demo-04/)

 

without rewriting... works! http://www.lmmuk.com/au_play.html 

 

after rewrite... broken! http://www.lmmuk.com/sounds/

 

this is the rule I'm using in .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^sounds/ au_play.html

 

same page source, different outcome. Help!

 

Anyone got any ideas?

 

Thanks!

 

-Jc.
