This is plugin developed to play MP3 files synchronised with a image slideshow.

Example here [post="hawker-sea-hawk"]

The framework is based on the commonly used Audio Player plugin.

Once enabled, the plugin will use the syntax Qaudio-visual: /path/to/xml] to display a Flash movie with the appropriate audio and image files. The path specified must be a valid path to an XML configuration file and must be readable by the PHP interpreter.

The syntax of the file is as follows

<content>
    <application>
        <width>550</width>
        <height>400</height>
        <backgroundColour>0x628297</backgroundColour>
        <controlBarStart>0xCCCCCC</controlBarStart>
        <controlBarFinish>0xffffff</controlBarFinish>
    </application>
    <text>
        <label id="loading">Loading images...</label>
    </text>
    <audio>
        <file>http://www.happyorange.org.uk/audio/AVRO_504K.mp3</file>
    </audio>
    <visual>
