Just a question please - I have a Pro Soundcloud account, and a number of sounds which I embed on our site using the HTML5 Player.
I'd like to be able to display the date of the release in the player. I can see there is a metadata item for this, but I cannot seem to find any way to show it in the Player.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Toby.
Unfortunately the HTML5 player's design doesn't allow to show the release date.
You could retrieve the release dates for each of the tracks using the API with JavaScript to do that.

We're experiencing issues with custom criteria and video. The issue is simple, custom criteria just don't seem to work at all for video tags. Some details:
We've booked a test video on sponsorship 100% with custom criteria domaincode=nl and game-id=21485 in DFP small business.
Our video link http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640x480&iu=/1053551/Video-Preloader&ciu_szs&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=xml_vast2&unviewed_position_start=1&url={url}&description_url={descriptionUrl}&correlator={timestamp}&cust_params=domaincode%3Dnl%26pagetype%3Dgame%26ingame-ad%3Dtrue%26categories%3D3%2C65%2C80%2C98%2C406%26game-id%3D21485%26
{url}, { descriptionUrl} and {timestamp} are correctly replaced.
The custom criteria are made according to: https://support.google.com/dfp_premium/answer/1080597
Decoded cust_params:
domaincode=nl&pagetype=game&ingame-ad=true&categories=3,65,80,98,406&game-id=21485&
Our google representative told us to look into our video player implementation, which I did and didn't find anything out of order. It uses the IMA3 SDK just like the video inspector from google, which I normally use for testing.
Video inspector: developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/vastinspector_dual?hl=nl
Does anybody have a system running with video + custom criteria and sees a flaw in our setup? Is this a DFP Premium only feature?
Thanks in advance,
Casper
Good news, the ima3 sdk is doing it's job just fine. For some reason the video inspector now shows the correct video with custom criteria, which means that I can fix it also on our sites. I can't explain why it took DFP more than 2 hours to activate the video, but I'm just glad that it works.
Conclusion, custom criteria for video on DFP small business works just fine. Use https://support.google.com/dfp_premium/answer/1080597 for implementation details.

... I've integrated Spotify in my app using Sample Spotify Examples. I'm able to play track with Spotify's default controller.Now what my problem is: currently I'm able to play only one track. What to do if I want see the entire playlist track?
Thanking You in advance
With the current API, you need to do this yourself. I don't know exactly how you're doing playback, but when the current track ends you should prepare the next track and play it. There's no "play this list" API built-in to CocoaLibSpotify at the moment.
I have a self hosted wordpress site. I have few posts with embedded mp3 files. I am using yahoo web player currently. It puts a little play icon in front of all the mp3 files. Now, if the user clicks on one of the play icon, it loads the playlist with all the mp3 files in that page/post.
Is it possible to let the user pick the songs that they want to add to the playlist?
I am thinking of placing a little '+' icon for all the mp3 files and hoping that Yahoo has the necessary provision in the API.
Does anyone know a place where i can get the details on the API? Google search was not of much help in this.
Thank you.
There is some level of customization available, but might not be enough for the changes you're looking for.
Here is the official documentation: http://webplayer.yahoo.com/docs/
My question is if there is any built-in interpretation of metadata by the video player in iOS. I know one can add meta-data to a video and interpret it within a custom application as shown here.
In iOS on ipod or iphone, an HTML video is opened within the native player. I would like to display a message above or below the video for a short duration at the beginning. Since I cannot control the native player I thought there might be some built in metadata interpretation that could be used to perform this. I have not been able to find any information on this.
Any help is appreciated.
The blog you've posted includes details on using the native player MPMoviePlayerController to display meta data, which is pretty cool actually. You learn something new every day! If you're making a Phonegap App I suppose you could write a plugin to do this?
Or alternatively, have a look at this other OS question which appears to suggest that it is possible - though not seemingly with metadata embedded in the actual video. Apparently this works on iOS.

Is the custom player only for soundcloud mp3's, or is it possible to use the player for any project, like playing your own mp3 files from your server.
Thanks

In order to play audio using the Soundcloud player, you have to create a Soundcloud account & upload your music to your "own" account.
But you can actually customize your player if this so happens to be what you mean. By connecting to a Soundcloud API which then returns data from Soundcloud, which then. You use CSS/ to style your output results.
Hope I could help.
It can only work with audio on SoundCloud.
