Troubleshooting:


Sound not working:
For mp3 sound files not playing see the sound not working support page.


Wrong sound file playing:
  1. Did you edit the "player-1.js" file name to a new number in step #3 above when you added a second player to your HTML page or .js file? EXAMPLE: When you added the second player did you edit "player-1.js" to "player-2.js" when you did step #3?
  2. Did you edit the song name in the top of the "player-?.js" file?
  3. Did you replace the correct "song-?.mp3" file in the "xmp3Player-mini" folder?

Player not working:
If you do the steps above and the xmp3mini is not working:

  1. Be sure you have put the "xmp3Player-mini" folder and the 3 HTML files in this zip file in the same folder as the HTML page you are adding the player into.
  2. Try doing the above steps again from the start.
  3. Click here if this is not working when uploaded to your hosting area.

Skin images not working:
If the xmp3mini buttons and background are not showing up on the page here are some possible reasons.
  1. Did you spell the color correctly in the "player-?.js" file?
  2. Did you use capital letters for the color in the "player-?.js"? Use all capital letters for the colors.
  3. Did you edit the color in the "player-?.js" in 2 places?
  4. Are all folders and files uploaded to your hosting area?
  5. If you made new skins: Do not save these .jpg images as "progressive". Be sure to save them as "standard" .jpg images. Try re-saving these images using a "save as" and be sure to select "standard".
  6. If you made new skins: Have you placed your new skins in a new color folder in the "skins" folder? Did you create a new color .txt file in the "colors" folder?
  7. You have edited the wrong images or "player-?.js" file or the player files are not unzipped properly.
