After uploading mp3 files (via ftp) in image-folders I get the following error message at the mp3-file-name:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: tempnam(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (.:/usr/local/share/pear:/home/villiger-meier:/var/webs/www.villiger-meier.ch/public_html)

Filename: /imagevue/include/getid3/getid3.lib.php

Line Number: 1158

whats this and how can I avoid this error?

ok - not problem I upload with admin instead - I thought. When doing this I get the same error...

Ask your hoster to disable open base dir, this is 'security measure' which is already deprecated in future versions of php.

Thank you very much pain for the help! The hosting provider told me that it's not possbile fro them to disable open base dir but I should make a directory called tmp because php wants to open there. Or alternatively make a virtual directory.

Because I want to play different songs in different folders this solution doesn't sound good to me.

any other suggestions?

strange things are happening:

In one content folder '2005' the mp-3file is playing. interstingly it shows a thumbnail of an existing img-file...: the img-file is saved as 01.jpg, the mp3 as 01.mp3

in other folders 2006, 2007 or 2008 the mp3 files are not playing at all. Another strange thing: for those mp3 imagevue has created tn-files as well. When I delete those tn-files the mp3files show up in the playlist but are not playing. And strange again: this applies for the 2008 folder only but not for 2007 and 2006 although the procedure was the same for all folders...

pls see youself:

P.S.: In folder 2008 some tn-files are missung, I assume because of large file sizes...

Well, unfortunately files with same name but different extension will have thumbnails named the same, tn_<filename>.jpg.
Please rename them so they don't overlap.

What of thumbnails for large files this is memory limit issue, the solution is either downsize images, increase memory limit or pre-create thumbnails manually.

and why are the mp3 playing in one folder and not out of the other?

what about the open_basedir - I mean the basedir is a directory where only hosting provider have access to, right?

Well, one thing is sure, there is something with your mp3 files:
http://www.villiger-meier.ch/content/a% ... /song1.mp3

If they can't be accessed through the web, you can be sure Imagevue can't play them either ...

well well, after removing the id3 tags and renaming the mp3's all works flawless!

I would be interested though to have an explanation why this behaviour can happen:

- no playing of mp3s
and open base dir error from php?

Or in other words: what are the requirements of an mp3 file in order to work?

Thanks for the explanations!

1. Files should be 'healthy' - with normal tags in utf8, readable and playable, non-corrupted
2. They should be readable from www, i.e. you should be able to open them in browser.

I uploaded files via ftp, and I got errors + now in audioplayer I have "undefined" and music is not playing. (server is in safe_mode)
