D.C.O.,
The zip file you attached appears to be a partial archive of the original Live 0.2.5 and not Live 2. You can do a search for it and find out more if you would like.
On a separate note, I have been trying to implement TSG and Giant Eagle's RAWR-Player into Live 2. I have been able to successfully implement it, but there are still several issues with it. One is that the audio starts in Firefox, but the player never actually shows the controls, or any video. Another in Opera and IE is that the audio, video, and the player all show up and work, but for some reason, the background images at the top and the grey address bar in Live 2 are on top of the player if it pops up that high on the screen.
If there is anyone out there that would like to help and has better javascript programming skills than my "Cut and Paste", "Reverse Engineering", and "Trial and Error" methods, please send me a PM.

Those problems with the player... there is no video the audio would start if you have autoplay on... no idea with the controls, even if the backgrounds don't load there should always be play/pause icons etc.
Try changing the z-index: ; of the preview box, might fix the image problem you're having.
I seriously reckon its all the js errors causing the problems. Get firebug for Firefox and you will see what i mean.
Ok, I should have said I was having problems trying to implement the RAWR-PreviewBox, specifically the RAWR-Player and Divx/AVI Player portions. I installed Firebug about a week ago, and I think I have fixed the javascript errors....assuming I understood what Firebug was telling me. I've attached a picture of what Firebug is now telling me, which is that it doesn't recognize filter:alpha(opacity=#) (where # obviously is some number.) From what I have found out and I'm sure you already know, filter:alpha is a property specific to IE, so Firefox and Opera ignore it, more or less. Firebug does not appear to be reporting any other javascript errors, unless I'm missing something completely. Like I said, I may be wrong as I'm not entirely sure I understand how to use Firebug correctly anyway. I think I have it set to show all Errors, but there may be more to do than just selecting the options from the dropdown Options menus. If I missed something in Firebug to get it to report all Javascript errors, please point me in the right direction if you could.
I took your suggestion for changing the z-index of the PreviewBox, and used it to solve the problem of the greybar covering the player popups, in a roundabout way. Changing the z-index of the PreviewBox had no affect on it. However, I changed the z-index of the greybar so that it was equal to the table? containing the files and folders view (I think its called a table, but if not, please correct me
.) This solved the problem of the greybar covering the PreviewBox in Firefox and Opera. However, in IE6, as you can see in the attached pictures, the greybar and background images cover the PreviewBox if it is outside of the files and folders table. I will chalk this up to a problem with IE6. One more thing I noticed was that since changing the z-index of the PreviewBox had no affect at all on fixing this issue, it appears that the PreviewBox is inheriting the z-index of the rest of the table it is contained within. This seems strange, but the z-index of the PreviewBox is 75, and the only way I could get the greybar to not cover it was to change the z-index of the greybar from 5 to 4, which happens to be the same setting for the Azul/files and folders table.
I'm still having the same problem of the players not showing properly in Firefox. Opera and IE6 are working fine, but I get no controls with the RAWR-Player in Firefox when playing an MP3, only the audio playing and the Loading gif in the PreviewBox. And I get no video or divx player controls with the Divx/AVI Player in Firefox when playing an AVI, only the audio playing and the Loading gif in the PreviewBox. Attached are more pictures illustrating this.
Foggy, are you interested in helping me figure this out, if you're still bored?
