I have the following audio player plug installed and activated in wordpress: http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/ The audio player doesn't seem to be working right. I tried to embed the file www.midweekpolitics.com/shows/midweek_politics-2009-10-21-low.mp3 every way it says you can, and the player just won't show up. i tried: [audio:midweek_politics-2009-10-21-low.mp3] after setting the default folder to /shows [audio:http://www.midweekpolitics.com/shows/2009-10-21-low.mp3] i tried seeing if the plugin has to be activated, and it already was. i'm not sure how to get it working. does anyone know what i might try?
Hmm, I see. Thanks for this link. I thought I could simply type [audio:url.mp3] into the post/page without having put anything into the media library first, but am i correct that i actually need to add each mp3 to the media library first?
Oh, i see the problem though...the media library wants me to upload the files through there, but i'm simply trying to play files i've already uploaded manually through ftp. it looks like i "should" be able to do it simply by putting in [audio:url.mp3] but it doesn't work.
The specific versions of wp and the audio player that you are using would be helpful. We had to apply the fix made by tomgf in this thread to get the player to work: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/179225/page/16
