About: Janet Scribner

Hello Ryan,

Thanks again for all your advice. I finally got everything to work. It was a combination of the changes you suggested, as well as converting the mp3 files to mp4. (duh… :))

Cheers!

Thanks so much for your reply. The crossdomain.xml file is uploaded into S3 per your instructions.

I have since had a few more ideas that I’m working with (on http://www.depressionmeditation.net/aa-draft-audio). I’ll continue tomorrow.

FYI: All mp3 files will be available to all members at any given time. They will stream and not download. I remember restricting to 5 streams per individual file per membership per day. But I can’t recall where I did that.

And yes, I look forward to be up and running soon!

Thanks again,
Janet

Hello Ryan,

Thanks for your reply. I created a page with the code you provided. Is the “filename” correct? Or should I include the entire path with the filename?

Here’s the exact code on the page:

<p>FILE BEGIN<br />
<a href="[s2File download="mm1wakeey.mp3" /]" target="_blank">Download Presentation.</a><br />
FILE END</p>

<p>FILE BEGIN<br />
<a href="[s2File download="mm1wake.mp3" /]" target="_blank">Download Presentation.</a><br />
FILE END</p>

Here’s the s2 Media File URL for “mm1wakeey.mp3”: http://www.depressionmeditation.net/wp-content/uploads/https://s3.amazonaws.com/thedepressionmeditationsystem/mm1wakeey.mp3

Here’s the s2 Media File URL for “mm1wake.mp3”: http://www.depressionmeditation.net/wp-content/uploads//wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/mm1wake.mp3

Neither File URL can be edited.

Here’s the link to the page:

Here is the error code when clicking on the link:

503: Basic File Downloads are NOT enabled yet. Please contact Support for assistance. If you are the site owner, please configure: s2Member -> Download Options -> Basic Download Restrictions.

What does this indicate?

Thanks again Ryan,
Janet

Hello Ryan,

Thanks for your response. No matter about the time–its perfect.

re: Link: Thanks for letting me know which link I need. The s2 tutorial simply says: “Once your S3 bucket is configured, everything else is the same.” It does not specifically state whether to point to S3 or Word Press. Here’s the tutorial:

In addition, when pasting just the S3 path, JW Player automatically adds the s2 path in front. There’s no way around it. Maybe this is the source of the plug-in incompatibility.

re: Crossdomain.xml: Yes, when I originally used the “cut and past code” method as outlined in the s2 tutorials, I downloaded the crossdomain.xml file to my S3 bucket. It loads automatically during installation.

I just removed crossdomain.xml from my bucket. Perhaps that’s what’s confusing things, although I doubt it.

re: plug-in compatibility: I referred to a post that recommended using the plug in. It suggested adding a tag to the file: content-disposition = inline. This tag appears to fix only a streaming issue and not compatibility issues. I’m a complete novice and simply do not know.

I will search for the post and send you the link. Probably tomorrow.

If I cannot make the plug in work, then I will revert to the short-code method and go from there.

Thanks again for your time and information.
Janet
