bbcode request: audio

We already have YouTube and Soundhound. Could we also have a generic audio tag? Eg:

Code: Select all

[audio]{URL}[/audio]


Code: Select all

<audio src="{URL}" controls></audio>

All done. You can now use audio tags.

When I try this code:

Code: Select all

[audio]https://www.dropbox.com/s/mddg9vm2ph5fjvx/FIA%20theme.mp3?dl=0[/audio]


The audio player disappears after a few seconds. The player should be between,

here ...

... and here.

I'm using Windows 10 and the latest version of Firefox.

Thank you
Tom

The player should be between,

... and here.

Thanks again.

The url needs to point directly to the mp3 file. Notice when you place those links in your browser, they open up webpages rather than downloading an mp3. For dropbox you need "dl=1" on the end of the url not "dl=0"

Code: Select all

[audio]https://www.dropbox.com/s/mddg9vm2ph5fjvx/FIA%20theme.mp3?dl=1[/audio]




I couldn't find any way to get the soundcloud as an mp3 :(.

The audio is currently automatically loading from start to finish before we click play. In a thread with lots of files this wouldn't work out well. The html should to be replaced with:

Code: Select all

<audio src="{URL}" preload="metadata" controls></audio>

OK, I've modified the audio link with preload. Let me know if there are any issues.

When I view this post on my Samsung Tab 4 10.1 (Android system) with Firefox the player disappears. But, it is fine on my notebook.

Code: Select all

[audio]https://www.dropbox.com/s/p1mduggyqisabag/le-boudin.mp3?dl=1[/audio]


Players should be between here ...


... and here.

Here is what I found:

- [audio] and [soundcloud] tags do work on my laptop (Windows 10, Firefox)
- [audio] and [soundcloud] tags do work on my Android tablet with Chrome.
- [audio] and [soundcloud] tags do not work on my Android tablet with Firefox

From what I've read on the web this has to do with problems in Soundcloud, HTML5 and Firefox.
I'll try and do some more checking tomorrow.
