I remember asking about listing both soundcloud and audio tracks seamlessly during the beta phase of JR5.I believe it was not possible then.
Can the audio charts and top songs listings have both soundcloud and audio files?
If so what code should I use?

Assuming 'top songs' is by plays, show both audio and soundcloud items like this -

{jrSeamless_list modules="jrAudio,jrSoundCloud" order_by="*_file_stream_count NUMERICAL_DESC" etc etc }

Seamless charts cannot be done. It would need a custom Charts module to do this.

Regarding a custom JR5 Charts module(seamless charts),what are the key areas to look at?
JR4 has this feature.I was wondering why it was not important for JR5.

The JR4 seamless module didn't work with charts either.
I've not looked into seamless charts for JR5 so at this stage don't know how it might work or even if its possible.
Sorry

OK..thanks for the feedback
I'm a 110% certain that my JR4 Charts rank both soundcloud and audio items.

You must have done something custom - Jamroom 4 only ranks songs and videos - it never ranked Soundcloud items unless you modified it to do so.

Oh no...I wish...(I have no formal qualification in web design).Probably you forgot that paSCSeamless addition to the chart_audio_row enables that feature.

Proof(See audio charts): www.zmusicportal.com

I've played around with JR4 but i never modified the core aspects of the software.I just don't have the tech knowhow to do that.

Sorry, I'm so centred on JR5 these days I'm forgetting how JR4 worked!!
Yes, the paSCSeamless module did work with JR4 charts because the SoundCloud data was stored on the song_info table alongside regular songs, and customised templates then showed one, or the other.
In JR5, audio and soundcloud tracks have their own separate datastores, so that is why you would need a custom JR5 Charts module in order to collect items from both datastores and 'chart' it. The existing jrChart module only works with one specified datastore.

Thanks again....It's looks like you already have an idea on what to do.

If at all you find time to develop a seamless charts module,please let me know.I'll be the first to buy it.

I guess that closes the issue for now...
cheers

Hey - I didn't say I was going to dive in a do one, but I'll bear it in mind ;-)
It first involves working out just how the current jrCharts module works, and then thinking out how (and if) it can be adapted.
But when I have a minute, I'll check it out.
