I don't think that would work. Kinda like taking everything on a windows hard drive and throwing it onto a Mac and hoping it works.

Possible playlist bug for admins only?

Using Jamroom

wow, and good thing I fixed this today, because it seems the members on my brand new live JR site are beginning to discover their playlist features this evening!

You are awesome Michael.

But...one last thing- I have this same issue occuring for Uploaded Videos as well...they too exhibit the 'add to playlist button' and can be added to playlists... and they should not.
Can you find that bit of code too please?

Even though the uploaded videos CAN be added to playlists and WILL play fine in the playlists, I need to eliminate that ability too, or else my members are going to get confused and frustrated as to why they can't add their own (youtube) videos to their playlists despite seeing other people's (uploaded) vids in THEIR playlists. I just need to eliminate adding any types of vids to playlists across the board.
Thanks if you can adjust the module as well for the uploaded videos.

The Vimeo videos do not seem to have any of these issues. (yay!)

Nooooooooooooooooooo the Ning Creators forums are!! (ning is the sow's ear)

These Jamroom support forums are highly organized, useful and efficient! And yes, totally agree with your post! I'm learning a little bit more each week on how to tweak my own codes...veeery carefully now that my site is live!

New Jamroom page:
(look at the size of the actual video playing screen, for starters! And I did not edit the page sidebars spaces - the ning site WASTES sooooo much space)

I just posted on Ning Creators forum two awesome screenshots comparing Ning vs Jamroom from a profile page video playing view: http://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/jamroom-question?commentId=6651893%3AComment%3A1306497

I did that in two places yesterday on Ning Creators:

So far only one comment. (huh?) The place is always flooded with endless coding workaround posts for (imho) trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Zach, check it out there and leave a comment- my old ning site compared to my new JR site! Better do it before I started dismantling my ning 2.0 in another week or two. I have another month paid on it, and am still picking up straggler members who wander over there without a clue because they 'didn't get my email'.

* remove the add to playlist button for things that dont play in playlists.

That seems like the much easier and more logical solution to me. To you as well?

Michael, was it not you who helped me get the combined audio/video and video comments and such links to show everywhere? I 'think' it was you and not Douglas (Douglas helped me before you did, to set up some content blocks on the main page) The combined video coding stuff was beyond me, and I thought it was you who helped me get that working...with the links and modules and comments and artist names etc. I can go back in my old notes from a couple months ago to se who helped me with the video code tweaks if you like? As to where it was tweaked- yikes I would not know since I didn't change any defaults myself.

P.S. Speaking of which, I have a help ticket with your name written all over it, concerning audio & video comment counts... (aren't you glad you asked?) =8-p

Michael, I'm afraid i don't really understand your last post. It goes over my head...I have not created any templates yet in my baby coding 'career'. So now I'm not sure if i should try to 'fix' the YT vids to show better or play in playlists (which I am understanding is not possible anyway?) ...or just eliminate people's ability to add vids to playlist lists at all, which is what we seem to have the ability to do right now.?
---------------------------

I wrote this below, BEFORE seeing your last post:

I see- and the Youtube vids, even though they 'can' be added to a playlist, will not actually play within the playlist. (though uploaded videos can...however that will cause untold confusion to members going forward).
So the real point is that videos are best not put into playlists to begin with...only audios. I guess since we were seemingly 'able' to add them and have them be visible, I thought the ability was built in, but just had a simple glitch. Turns out the 'glitch' is that we should not be able to add the videos to 'playlists' at all.

So now that I understand better... I guess now my problem/goal is to eliminate everyone's ABILITY to put any videos into 'Playlists' to begin with...
