Photobucket Slideshows

This isn't technically "music", but it is another thing which you can host through your Media panel
Yes, you can do image slideshows using your Media panel! The only slight problem with this is that then you'll probably have two media panels (if you want music as well) and then you'll need to obtain their separate ID numbers in order to code them.

Getting your Photobucket Slideshow onto Gaia

It's a really simple process -- only needs one post ^^;
In order to create a Photobucket Slideshow, you will need to have an account on Photobucket

Create an Album
You first step is to simply create an album on your Photobucket account and fill it with whatever pictures you want.
It is recommended you only use "still" images (png, jpg, or bmp)... I'm not too sure how animated gifs turn out in slideshows.

Note: Make sure your album is set to "Public" sharing
Obtain your Embed Code
After you have created your album, go to it and copy the "Flash Embed" code it gives you to the right side of your screen. You will end up with something like this:

You only need the parts in green. Copy both parts and merge them with a ? to separate the two:
http://pic2.pbsrc.com/flash/rss_slideshow.swf?rssFeed=http://feed1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag8/reylokpix/Screenies/feed.rss

And then correct the second half of the code... (for some reason, Photobucket changes the slashes and colons into percentages)
: is a colon
/ is a forward slash
If you have any (white) spaces in your URL, fill them in with
http://pic2.pbsrc.com/flash/rss_slideshow.swf?rssFeed=http://feed1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag8/reylokpix/Screenies/feed.rss

Take that final URL, paste it into your Media panel, and you're good to go!

P.S. If you want it to loop, attach &loop=1 onto the end of the URL

hi, i noticed when i went to the photobucket there's only 4 categories below share links (located on right side): email&im, slideshow, story, and story embeded.

i'm wondering if there's any update regarding the code or slight changes?

thank you~

EDIT: it's ok now, i think the privacy should be turned onto public so the Flash Embed would appear on the right side

ono;; Hmmm, that's weird, it's still showing Flash Embed for me.
Are you maybe on mobile...? That's the only weird thing I can think of (since mobile doesn't support Flash)
