Oh yeah, I have had Media Player setup here before to play MP3s off of my site, and also off of an Internet Radio site to stream in.
Grabbed their code and it played perfectly in the thread.

Hmm... an interesting request just came in via my in-box. I was asked if I could dynamically round the corners of the images a bit to give the banner a more "finished" appearance.

The answer is yes. When the script creates the image, I can overlay a mask over the images. I will mock up a version of it tomorrow and you guys (especially Corey) can decide if it looks better. I am interested in seeing what it looks like myself. I suspect it might look good.

Any dupes for anyone? I thought not! HA!

Remember... If anyone wants to play with the banner and watch the images, don't keep refreshing the whole page - it loads up the server more than necessary. Just click on the link below and keep refreshing the resulting page.

And his Latin is a traditional insult...

duc duc remus duc fluminae secundo!

Vivete vivete vivete in dom insomnio! (perhaps not exact as my Latin is a tad rusty)

***Corey*** · 01-08-2006, 07:20 AM

I was a 1st class Boy Scout growing up, and morse code was one thing I was very interested in back then.

We use to use it on our Walkie Talkies back in the 60s to communicate too with others.

Keggo · 01-08-2006, 11:57 AM

I'm lost... (or I don't like to read a bunch of stuff...)... how and where do I submit my pictures? And they have to be 130x130, right?

WATRD · 01-08-2006, 12:02 PM

It's all in the thread for the reading...

133x100, less than 10k and send to corey(a)yotatech(dot)com

in your case, name the file keggo1.jpg, up to keggo3.jpg

Keggo · 01-08-2006, 12:05 PM

sweet... as I said... I don't like sifting through all the useless banter... Anyway, thanks Rob and Charles!

I would argue that it's hardly "useless banter" if it contains information that you require, but that's a thread for another day.

You are welcome.

***Corey*** · 01-08-2006, 12:09 PM

All the info you needed was in the very first post in this thread.

Rob, thanks for sending the new script for the rounded corners.

WATRD · 01-08-2006, 12:10 PM

No problem... worked on it this morning...

I think I like it, but I am thinking a bit less rounding... what do you think?

Keggo · 01-08-2006, 12:15 PM

Ahhh... ok, I see... the last I saw that info wasn't there. Anyway, thanks again for the info.

calrockx · 01-08-2006, 12:16 PM

php script can round the corners??

Sure. With enough code, I can do almost anything you can in photoshop via PHP. This is being done with an .png overlay where everything is transparent except the corners, effectively creating a mask.

WATRD · 01-08-2006, 12:20 PM

And before anyone complains, I will be providing Corey with an assortment of masks so that he can decide which he likes, if any.

Yota4runner · 01-08-2006, 12:21 PM

I like it, nice work Rob!

i LOVE php.

that's awesome. i was thinking "without doing it in photoshop, there can't be round corners" guess not. it looks much better now.

now to go read my php book and start getting it down on my own...

Thank you! It's been a fun and educational project. I am glad I could learn AND have some positive impact somewhere. I didn't know what I was getting into when I suggested;

You know, since this site runs on PHP, what you are looking for is really easy. You could dump as many pictures as you wanted into a directory, all sized properly, then have a PHP script that generated the image dynamically, drawing from among the available images, with a static YT logo in the middle.

It would be small, just the size of the five images being pulled. It would be fast. And it would be simple, just place an ordinary image tag on the page, just like you are doing now.

...in the other thread. hahahahha Isn't that way of things?
