{jr_media_access}
The {jr_media_access} Template function has become the recommended way to embed ALL Media Plays (audio and video) into your Jamroom templates. It handles all of the proper permission settings based on the viewers quota, as well as is very flexible in how the media can be played.
This makes working in the templates much easier, and anyone that has worked on older versions of Jamroom where you have large {if} {else} template constructs will appreciate this new method.

| theme |
string |

| skin |
string |
yes * |

The "skin" parameter is required if the {jr_media_access} template function is being embedded into a Skin Template. The value of this parameter needs to be the name of the skin. |
| media_size |
number |
no |
0 |
This parameter tells Jamroom the size of the media file - if this is left at the default of 0, then Jamroom assumes there is no media file associated with the media information, and none of the stream or download options will be available. |
| media_id |
number |
yes |
n/a |
The "media_id" parameter tells Jamroom the "unique" ID if the media item. This will be either the song_id or the video_id, depending on the "media" parameter. |
| onclick |
string |
no |
n/a |
If you would like to add a Javascript On Click handler to the media stream or download action, you can specify the Javascript with the "onclick" parameter. |
| media_url |
string |
yes |
n/a |
If Jamroom determines that the viewer has the necessary access rights to stream or download the media, then this is the URL that will be used to allow the User to perform the media action. |
| download |
string |
no |
"no" |
If the media item can be downloaded, the "download" parameter should be set to the proper download setting that is controlled by the media item (i.e. $SONG_HIFI_DOWNLOAD, etc.). |
| image |
string |
no |
"media".png |
The "image" parameter is used to define the image that will be shown to perform the media action (i.e. stream or download). By default, Jamroom will look for an image that is named the same as the "media" parameter with the .png extension - i.e. "hifi_stream.png". This image should be located in the "images" directory of the given theme or skin parameter. |
| alt |
string |
no |
n/a |
The "alt" parameter defines the ALT text that will be used for the "image" parameter. |
| no_image |
string |
no |
n/a |
If the media item being requested does not exist (for example there is no LOFI version of the song), then the "no_image" parameter can be set to provide an image that is shown instead of the play/download button. |
| no_alt |
string |
no |
n/a |
If the "no_image" parameter is set, and the resulting media item is not available, the "no_alt" parameter defines the ALT text for the "no_image". |
| login_image |
string |
no |
n/a |
If the media item being requested requires the viewer to be logged in before they can perform the action, the "login_image" will be displayed in place of the play or download image. |
| login_alt |
string |
no |
n/a |
If the "login_image" parameter is set, and the resulting media item requires a login to perform the action, the "login_alt" parameter defines the ALT text for the "login_image". |

{jr_lang id="40" default="hifi download" assign="hifi_d"}
{jr_lang id="39" default="lofi stream" assign="lofi_s"}
{jr_lang id="41" default="lofi download" assign="lofi_d"}
{jr_media_access type="image" alt=$hifi_s media="hifi_stream" media_url=$SONG_HIFI_PLAY_URL skin="Cobalt3" media_size=$SONG_HIFI_SIZE download=$SONG_HIFI_DOWNLOAD}
{jr_media_access type="image" alt=$hifi_d media="hifi_download" media_url=$SONG_HIFI_DOWNLOAD_URL skin="Cobalt3" media_size=$SONG_HIFI_SIZE download=$SONG_HIFI_DOWNLOAD}
{jr_media_access type="image" alt=$lofi_s media="lofi_stream" media_url=$SONG_LOFI_PLAY_URL skin="Cobalt3" media_size=$SONG_LOFI_SIZE download=$SONG_LOFI_DOWNLOAD}
{jr_media_access type="image" alt=$lofi_d media="lofi_download" media_url=$SONG_LOFI_DOWNLOAD_URL skin="Cobalt3" media_size=$SONG_LOFI_SIZE download=$SONG_LOFI_DOWNLOAD}
