hey all, I''m trying to do a: send_file @file, :type => ''audio/mp3'', :disposition => ''inline'' ,:stream=>true I tried with all browsers and it always asks me to download the file or open it with a player. Is there a way to make it open in the embeded player (QT,Windows media player,Mplayer etc)? Only with konqueror if I open in new tab then I get the embeded player :/ Am I doing something wrong with rails or with mongrel? if it''s with mongrel , how could I configure it so it sends the right stuff? thanx in advance Pat

If you link to a raw audio/mp3 file, most browsers will force a download of it because most don''t include an mp3 player by default. You need to link to an HTML page that loads up some sort of mp3 player plugin explicitly (eg, via an object or embed tag).

thanx that''s exactly what I did as a work around. I was just wondering there was another way.

afaik, no. On 3/18/07, Patrick Aljord <patcito at gmail.com> wrote:> thanx that''s exactly what I did as a work around. I was just wondering > there was another way.
you could try setting the Content-disposition header to "inline". Might work. Patrick Aljord wrote:> thanx that''s exactly what I did as a work around.

this is what I did in my view:
<%= link_to_remote ''play in line'',
:url=>{:action=>''playinline'',:songurl=>a.url
,:disposition=>''inline''}%>
<div id="playa<%= Digest::MD5.hexdigest(a.url) %>">
</div>
in my controller:
def playinline
@songurl=params[:songurl]
@md5=Digest::MD5.hexdigest(params[:songurl])
end
def play
@tag=Rtag.find_by_url(params[''songurl''])
@file=@tag.rdevice.lastmountpoint+ at tag.url[1..-1]
@file=@file[1..-1] if @file[0..1]==''//''
# render :layout=>false
Mongrel::DirHandler::add_mime_type(''mp3'',''audio/mp3'')
send_file @file, :type => ''audio/mp3'', :disposition =>
''inline'' ,:stream=>true
end
in my playinline.rjs:
page.replace_html ''playa''+ at md5, ''<embed
src="''+url_for(:action=>''play'',:disposition=>''inline'',:songurl=>@songurl)+''"
width="300" height="42" ></embed>''
works great
