"Vidya Intarweb Playlist" HTML5 Player
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
["Vidya Intarweb Playlist"](http://www.aersia.net/threads/vip-and-wap-faqs.8/) is a fantastic video game playlist maintained by Cats777 over at [Aersia.net](http://www.aersia.net). The VIP has been one of my main sources of background music while working.
|
|
|
|
This is an HTML5-based replacement player for the VIP. I created it because the original player for the VIP is Flash-based. Since Flash is outdated and insecure, I decided to hack together a new player. Now the "Vidya Intarweb Playlist" is accessible on all my devices.

What's Different
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
I cloned the aesthetic of the original VIP player, so everything looks and feels the same. There are a few differences and improvements.
|
|
|
|
**Differences**
|
|
|
|
* The context menu has been replaced by a small credits box in the lower right corner, to properly credit Cats777 and link back to Aersia.
|
|
|
|
**Missing**
|
|
* Optimizing style and behavior of volume controls
|
|
|
|
**New**
|
|
* Next Track button goes to a random track, instead of next in the playlist.
|
|
* Previous Track button goes to the track previously played, instead of the previous in the playlist.
|
|
* Playlist Selection dropdown. Easily switch between the different VIP playlists (VIP, Mellow, Source, Exiled, WAP, CPP).

Compatibility
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
This player should be compatible with all modern devices and browsers that support HTML5 and M4A (AAC) audio files. If you run into any bugs, let me know!
|
|
|
|
I have tested the current version on Firefox (Ubuntu), iPhone 5, and iPad 3. On the latter two, the playlist doesn't play automatically the first time; just tap a track to begin. Also, on the iPhone the player controls are incredibly tiny. Both bugs will be fixed.
