RE: RSS feeds added into eSteem website

in #esteem • 5 years ago

Ohhhhhh well done!!!!! I've been on DSound's case for a while to add this, but you did it first.

I wonder, is it possible to add the posibility to embed an audio file much like we do to a photo or video by URL? I know you can embed a SoundCloud iframe at the moment, but it would be amazing if one could just embed an MP3 or Wav url and it appears as a nice looking audio player like this one:

Or is there a limitation in the markup language?

Thanks.

    We can certainly check this out! Not all steem posts have audio, in case of dsound, do they have audio file url in json_metadata of post? We will check for sure.

      Thank you for the response. DSound is all audio, so they use IPFS to store the audio, then their frontend runs some script from what I can see from page source. It looks like SoundCloud.

      What I mean is, I can embed an image in a post by simply using the {![] () } formatting.. or just drag a YouTube URL into Steemit/eSteem and it will auto-embed. I wish there was something like that for audio like mp3 or wav.

        I see, <audio> tag should be easy to add, but majority of Steem apps disable it for security reasons. Because you can potentially hijack script inside audio tag. But unified audio player embed would be good to have, from what you said, dsound is doing just that with soundcloud audio player.
