Audio player stopping/Upload limits

    Ok, this is an odd one.

    I installed an audio player plugin. It was nice, no problems.

    I think ran into an “8 MB upload limit” when trying to upload an mp3. I believe this is a limit placed by my host. Uploading via FTP is a work-around. I uploaded this mp3 to the same spot WP would upload it (/uploads/year/month).

    When linking this mp3 manually using a href, the player is a different player… at least it looks different. And it seems finicky. The song stops halfway through sometimes.

    Anybody know a way to get the plugin player back? I’m guessing it ‘recognizes’ songs when you upload them via WordPress… it seems not to recognize mp3s when I upload them via FTP or something…

    THANK YOU!!!! 🙂

    Might be good to tell us what plugin you’re using! 😉

    Try increasing PHP’s maximum upload file size via one of the following methods:

    1. Increase the setting values in php.ini (e.g. upload_max_filesize = 64M ; and post_max_size = 64M ;). Many hosts may not allow this.

2. Increase the setting values via .htaccess (e.g. php_value upload_max_filesize 64M and php_value post_max_size = 64M). Many hosts may not allow this.

3. Increase the setting values via ini_set lines in wp-config.php. Talk to your host for the correct values.

4. Ask your hosting provider to increase the upload size for your account.

    Thanks macmanx, I’ll try those things and let let you know if any work out. Step 4 may have already been tried… my host probably said ‘sucks for you, but sorry’ in a nice way.

    Touche, leliathomas, the plugin is (from the .php)

    /*
    Plugin Name: Audio Link Player
    Plugin URI: http://dennishoppe.de/wordpress-plugins/audio-link-player
    Description: This plugin adds a Flashplayer component to all your mp3 links.
    Version: 1.0.1
    Author: Dennis Hoppe
    Author URI: http://DennisHoppe.de
    */

    Many thanks, you two.
