function jrAudio_create_sample($profile_id,$audio_id,$_audio,$sample_length = 60)
{

That don't work

why does yours look like that?

ahh your editing line 306/960 instead!

Maby this wasn't a good idea to recommend this for you. Im sorry I figured it would help but apparently you will need a professional to modify your site to your liking.

I copped what I see

// Our command to create our sample file
// "q" for quarter of a sine wave
// "h" for half a sine wave
// "t" for linear (â€˜triangularâ€™) slope
// "l" for logarithmic
// "p" for inverted parabola

// See how long of a sample has been requested - we want to try and snip
// a section out from the middle of the song for our sample.
list($h,$m,$s) = explode(':',$_audio['audio_file_length']);
$total = (($h * 60) * 60) + ($m * 60) + $s;
$begin = round($total / 2);

Paying for foxycart when anybody can record the full length of the song is not cool .

Why the admin cant set the preview length in jamroom 5 , the way how jamroom 4 works.

I did every thing you all suggested and none of them worked , this should not be so hard to do especially when you have to be paying for foxy cart monthly fees that have not produced any mp3 sales yet .

How can I resolve this issue ?

Actually foxy cart has a built in function. If any of your members set a price for a song. It divides the song in half and plays up to a minuite of it from the middle.

harleychicks · Posted: 09/14/13 13:45

The songs play the full length is what my original complain was, if the songs was not playing the full length I would not complain , and don't understand why this feature of the admin setting there own preview lenght was taken away in jamroom 5 upgrade.

Well lets start with your hosting. What kind of hosting are you running for your site.
what version of jamroom 5 is installed. and what skin are you using

This functionality should be working with out modification so to me it just sounds like misconfigured server setup..

Did you set up your server yourself or did someone else?

Have you modified any of the files?

harleychicks · Posted: 09/14/13 14:39

I don't understand your line of questions , are you implying hosting can have some thing to do with preview length that worked in jamroom 4 using the same server ?

b360 · Posted: 09/14/13 14:46

yes your hosting and set up can absolutely have a lot to do with the functionality of your site.

JR 4 is not related to 5 like your suggesting. Its not an upgrade version of 4 its a completely new beast.

^^ And the questions im asking are pretty straight forward technical support ones used to figure out your environment and trouble shoot your setup.

I will try to make the questions more clear.

1) Is your hosting environment shared, vps or dedicated server?

2) What Version of Jamroom 5 are you currently running. (the most current version at this time is 5.0.2)

3) Jamroom has 1 stock skin (jrElastic) but if you have purchased the "Super Pack Option" in which you are also entitled to use (jrSage, jrFlashback, and jrNova) Or you may have purchased a 3rd party Skin? Which skin are you using when you have this error?

4) Did you set up your hosting environment or did someone else do this for you? Setting up a hosting environment requires use of tools like SSH logging in to a terminal and coding your server environment. This server environment installs "tools/software" used to deploy your website. If the "tools/software" on the server are not set up then your website wont function properly.

5) Have you modified, changed, or altered ANY of the Jamroom 5 files after installation?

Every post previous to these has been very helpfull and on point to resolving your issue. With the exception of me suggesting you look in to modifying the script. However, If their suggestions did not work for you then I believe the solution you need may derive from the questions I have asked which are pretty basic ones anyone must know when setting up a website.

You will need to get a VPS or Dedicated Server and im pretty sure this will resolve your issue.

In a shared environment you can not control your server. My advice is that you should look in to an affordable small VPS and start with that. In a shared environment the hosting provider will shut down your site if you have too much traffic/data streaming or use too much ram even if they say "unlimited". They govern your environment and if anything is not working properly I would bank 99% on its your hosting environment at this point. In a typical shared environment technicians have installed software to block certain functionality as well to prevent misuse of their "unlimited" use policy.

However they may be also able to assist you in setting up your shared environment to work with your Jamroom. They also have CGI files on their end that can be used to control your php environment in some cases depending on your provider.

so anyone who has the new jamroom 5 will have this issue, and will be @ risk by people recording there tracks using jamroom 5 if you are on a shared server, and jamroom 5 requires more than jamroom 4 , and foxy cart payments monthly will be a waste if you are on a shared server ?

what hosting do you recommend ?

b360 · Posted: 09/14/13 17:35

No most people are using vps or dedicated servers and don't have these issues. A shared hosting environment is not the right way to run this type of a website. In my opinion you shouldn't run JR4 on a shared environment eather. It can be done I suppose and configured to work however that would be like trying to run a McDonnalds out of an RV.

as far as hosting goes I am a reseller and have a distributors license for vps servers but this is not a place for me to advertise myself. Here is a list of a few great companies.

I wish if jamroom said this before we got jamroom5 and it makes no sense because jamroom 4 worked ok on the server
