Based on the plugin "Veeplay" from  Roger Grice (http://DesignedbyRoger.com) I started to develop this plugin because "Veeplay" was not working correctly with elgg 1.9.x. I used jPlayer (http://jplayer.org/) "The jQuery HTML5 Audio / Video Library" as basis for this plugin because it was the only one I found which was released under a OpenSource license (MIT).

jPlayer is the completely free and open source (MIT) media library written in JavaScript.

jPlayer will play most of the media files in HTML5 and provides a fallback to flash if the browser is too old.

Also I added the ID3 Tag Javascript library "JavaScript-ID3-Reader" to extract MP3 tags. Unfortunately its a little bit slow. But you can enable/disable it in the settings.

Feel free to use the source to make the web a better place. Kind regards Markus
