Background Music to Profile

[Mazino]

It seems to NOT work for me for undetermined reasons. I've followed the introductions according this but seemingly the music player on my profile doesn't play the music. I made a quick amateurish recording concerning this issue.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Try it without the ?dl=0 after the .mp3 suffix. I have a feeling that might be interfering with the import process. I find most systems look for the filename at the very tail end of a URL, so when there is stuff after it that usually means it isn't being read correctly.

 

edit:

 

I did some more looking into the source code and where you uploaded your file and it seems to me that dropbox uses a javascript-based system. So when you link to the file on dropbox, even with the url ending in .mp3, it's not linking directly to the file, which a raw player such as this one requires in order to work. It's kind of like trying to shove a DVD into the player while it's still in the box.

 

I reuploaded your music file onto a service that allows direct hotlinking. I'll send you that in a PM, see if it works for you.

Thanks @Wedgy for the tremendous help. As a matter of fact the error was seemingly caused by the link.

 

therefore this issue can be regarded as solved. #Wedgy4mod
